Podcast: Edward Seckerson Meets... Jordan Luke Gage
Wednesday, December 18, 2024
As Titanique docks at the Criterion Theatre, the renowned performer playing baddie Cal in the Celine Dion-inspired show talks about how he enjoys mixing up the roles he plays
For this Musicals Magazine Podcast, Edward Seckerson talks to Jordan Luke Gage, currently starring in Titanique in the West End.
In a pretty meteoric rise since leaving drama school, Gage has been raising a little hell with characters as diverse as Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde, JD in Heathers and Marilyn in Taboo. He’s currently aboard HMS Titanic in a show whose French title quickly establishes that this is not the Maury Yeston version. During technical week he talks to Edward Seckerson about all this and more – not least how he and his Titanique co-star Rob Houchen have both now honed their Italian as Fabrizio in Adam Guettel’s The Light in the Piazza.
