In the final part of our three-part series, Ruthie Henshall answers questions from the audience at the recent Spotlight On… event. Part 1 and part 2 are both still available.
Ruthie covers topics such as her vocal technique, whether she would ever share a role with an alternate, whether jukebox musicals mean the West End is dumbing down, the perils of recording musical theatre albums, what makes her blush on Dancing on Ice and her advice for people entering the industry.
If you want to be in the audience for future Spotlight On… events, book tickets from the Shaw Theare website at http://www.theshawtheatre.com

I'm wanting to download part two of this interview, but only parts 1 & 3 are showing up in the iTunes store. Please help!
Hi Kat,
That's right, part 2 doesn't come up on the podcast directory page. I don't know why that is: I'm looking into it to see if I can fix it.
You can still get the part 2 if you subscribe to the podcast. While subscribing will automatically start part 3 (the most recent episode) to download, a full list of previous podcasts will also appear in the "Podcasts" section of your iTunes Library. In that section, click on the triangle next to "The Stage Podcast" and a list should appear, with downloaded episodes appearing in black and episodes not downloaded in grey. Click on the "GET" button next to any of the grey ones and they should start downloading.
