Behind The Cues

Behind the Cues is a behind-the-scenes theatre podcast that pulls back the curtain on the real world of live performance, the chaos, the comedy, and the controlled disasters that audiences never see. Hosted by Tom, the show dives into backstage culture, tech week survival stories, cue chaos, script mishaps, prop disasters, quick changes, and the strange magic that somehow makes every show still go on. With a mix of sarcastic humor, candid conversations, and real-life theatre experiences, Behind the Cues explores what it actually takes to run a production, from headset gossip and last-minute fixes to the unsung heroes who keep everything moving when things fall apart. Whether you’re a performer, technician, stage manager, or just someone who loves theatre, this podcast is your backstage pass to the messy, hilarious, and wildly human side of the stage — where the magic doesn’t happen onstage… it happens behind the cues.
