Edward Seckerson Meets... Julian Ovenden

For this Musicals Magazine Podcast, Edward Seckerson meets Julian Ovenden, universally acknowledged as possessing one of the most beautiful voices in Musical Theatre.

Gearing up a rare solo concert with Broadway composer Scott Frankel (Grey Gardens, War Paint), Ovenden reflects on a career that has taken him from the Donmar's Merrily We Roll Along to TV's Bridgerton.

His appearances with the John Wilson Orchestra highlighted his way with Golden Age Broadway scores, and Daniel Evans's recent Chichester/Sadler's Wells revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific afforded him his shining moment with arguably the two greatest ballads in the repertoire.

The musical excerpts are taken from Carousel: World Premiere Complete Recording, by John Wilson and his Sinfonia of London, released on Chandos Records on 13 September 2024; and My Favorite Things: The Rodgers & Hammerstein 80th Anniversary Concert by The Rodgers & Hammerstein Concert Orchestra, conducted by Simon Lee, released on Concord Theatricals on 31 May 2024. The opening and closing musical excerpts featured in this podcast are from the Overture to Gypsy (film version), taken from Jule Styne's 'Overtures Vol 2', courtesy of JAY Records.
