In this episode, Connor and Catherine sit down with Olivier Award-winning, Phantom of the Opera star David Thaxton.

David tells us about how he got into the industry from his early days in amateur dramatics with KLODS; King's Lynn Operatic and Drama Society, to performing at the opening of the Millennium Centre to then making his west end debut in Les Misérables. We speak about his role as Phantom in Phantom of the Opera as well as about founding W1 Workshops with his wife Nancy Sullivan back in 2012.

Throughout this podcast, David Thaxton gives key advice about trying to forge a career in the industry as well as looking after your own mental health.
