The new monthly musical talk show will begin on the 15th March at Crazy Coqs.
Starting next month, performer and broadcaster Henry Patterson launches House Seats at Crazy Coqs.This new series of talks is set to celebrate theatre culture and unfiltered conversation with some of the most exciting voices in musical theatre.
Henry Patterson is known for his his jazz reinterpretations of musical theatre and this marks his first original talk show.
The first guest to be announced for House Seats is is Olivier Award nominee Ian McIntosh (Les Misérables, Sondheim Theatre; Jesus Christ Superstar, UK Tour),
marking a reunion for two artists who have previously worked together, and careers have developed in parallel. For this inaugural edition, Ian reflects on his journey through some of the industry’s biggest stages, offering a candid insight into his career and creative life. The evening is accompanied by musician Leigh Stanford Thompson on the piano, as he underscores each guest’s story.
Each show will blend interviews with live performances and audience interaction. Each
episode will feature one guest, with Henry opening the evening with a live musical set before sitting down for an in-depth interview and a special onstage duet with his guest.
Host and performer Henry Patterson comments: “Like many, I often find myself death scrolling on TikTok looking through talk show clips in the early hours of the morning. I think a format like that dedicated to the extraordinary lives of musical theatre performers is long overdue. From onstage mishaps to career highlights, every actor has an abundance of personal stories that rarely get a chance in the spotlight: I can’t wait to sit down with Ian to hear him share his.”
