Episode Details

Brett and Scott catch up with Samantha Jade backstage at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre as she wraps her acclaimed run as Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman: The Musical.

Samantha reflects on making her musical theatre debut, the challenge of performing eight shows a week and the emotion of saying goodbye to a role that pushed her well outside her comfort zone.

She also reveals what comes next, including plans to head to Los Angeles to write and record new music, with a new EP on the horizon.

Plus, Samantha shares why the LGBTQIA+ community has played such an important role throughout her career, from packed early performances following her X Factor win to becoming a much-loved fixture at Pride events around Australia.

And we go deep into the Samantha Jade archives… from Turn Around and Secret to an unreleased track performed in Las Vegas in 2005.
