It's the 20th birthday of Waterloo Road and we've done something very special to celebrate. For years, we've been hoping that the show would reunite its trinity of original stars – Angela Griffin, Jason Merrells, and Jamie Glover – on screen. But frankly, we got tired of waiting and decided to get them together right now.

We bring Musicals May to a conclusion as we chat about 1978 classic Grease: the ultimate high school musical. We chat everything from 30-somethings as teenagers to those unforgettable songs, and why nobody realises that the film is actually a satire of a bygone era.

Grease is streaming in the UK via ITVX: https://www.itv.com/watch/grease/24612

Musicals May takes a turn for the terrible as we dissect all of the problems with the movie adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, from baffling song cuts to that unhinged plot setup and, of course, the decision to cast Ben Plat as a high schooler.

Dear Evan Hansen isn't on a UK streaming platform, but you can buy or rent it in loads of digital shops.
