Heated Rivalry gets a musical parody, the Tony Awards, and remembering Buffy star Anthony Head

An unauthorized musical parody of Heated Rivalry is taking the theatre world by storm. Theatre critic Juan Ramirez and Canadian musical theatre actor Mitch Wood join Elamin Abdelmahmoud to explain why it’s such a smash success, and they’ll weigh in on the Tony Awards – the morning after they’re handed out. Plus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans are mourning the passing of British actor Anthony Head, who played Rupert Giles on the hit teen series from 1997-2003. Writer Hanna Flint – author of The Unofficial Buffy the Vampire Slayer Quiz Book – explains why Anthony Head became a favourite among Buffy fans, and how other memorable roles on ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘Little Britain’ made him one of the UK’s premier character actors.
