Musicals w/ Gabbi Bolt

What Shall We Do About...?

If you're a fan of musicals, you've probably found the past year pretty tough. Broadway, The West End all shut down because crowds can't gather - and it's only in recent months that Australia has begun staging musicals with theatres at full capacity. So, what shall we do about musicals, and do we need to rethink the way they are created? One such example of ingenuity happened during the pandemic, when TikTok users around the world teamed up to crowdsource create an unofficial musical based on the 2007 Disney Pixar film Ratatouille, Ratatousical. One of those Tik Tok users is Gabbi Bolt - who wrote a song from her home in Bathurst, Australia. In this episode, Gabbi shares the experience of becoming an overnight musical composer, and where she sees the future of musicals headed. Gabbi Bolt is on TikTok as @FettuccineFettuqueen, as well as Instagram @GabbiBoltOfficial. Thanks for listening!
