The World Hates Theatre Kids & Rachel Zegler’s Evita

Hello cutie pies! Hope you’re all having lovely weeks. Thanks for joining for this really fun Ratfood. In this ep, we go for a biiiiiiiiig deep dive on theatre kids and the DEEP desire to perform coolness and to distance ourselves from being labelled as theatre kids. We started the chat with Renee Rapp a few weeks ago, but we go deeper this week, chatting about how the world hates theatre kids, how ‘coolness’ is perceived in our space and how ridiculous every single bit of it all is … and yet! Sometimes all-consuming!We also have some chats about stage door etiquette, about what we all owe each other in the performer-audience relationship and where the line is in what performers are expected to deliver when they exit the theatre.We loved just chin-wagging on this topic and we find it SUPER and endlessly interesting, so we hope there’s something interesting in it for you also! Please leave your thoughts in the comments we love reading them!Lots of love as always and we’ll see you for another Ratbag this coming Monday.Big fat cheese cubes to you all.xxMel & Sam—You can watch the full video form of this episode on YouTube HERE: https://youtube.com/@themelandsam?si=jzeN-E_-DcE-DGHSFollow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.
