In this week's episode, Geddy and Tom explore one of Irving Berlin’s most successful movie musicals, ‘Top hat’, and its transition to the West End stage over 70 years later. With charming songs and epic dance numbers, they simply don’t make them like this anymore. For this week’s Stage Fright, we keep it in the family as Tom tries to justify the time he wore sunglasses indoors.
