Wicked has been playing in the West End for over 15 years so Nick thought it was about time that Hannah sees the show - so they did.

Thos joins the extremely talented musical academic and performer, David William Hughes, to discuss the third of his historic music trilogy - a joyous and delightful version of La Serva Padrona - served up from "an emergency opera kit" saved over from the Cold War era! It's a funkadelic relic!
