Jesus Christ Superstar, Lifestyle Chat

Tom Ryser and Lillian Stillwell, director and choreographer for Theater Basel’s upcoming production of Jesus Christ Superstar, took time out from their busy rehearsal schedule to talk to Arts Correspondent Kevin Richmond about preparations for the January 2016 premiere.  It was only a few weeks ago that the musical theme on The English Show was Rock Musicals so hopefully we've put you in the mood to go and catch this show here in Basel.  Listen to the interview again here.

Gaynor kicked off a new segment on The English Show called "Lifestyle Chat".  She will be periodically sharing her sherpa-like knowledge of the Basel Lifestyle with our program...parties, events, music, art, fashion, products, apps and everything else you need to know to stay savvy.  This week we chatted about all things black and you have the chance to get the most stylish prize (Tom Ford Black Orchid gift set) by writing in on our facebook page what you would like to discuss in the segment in February.  Better still, if your idea is selected you'll be coming on the show to chat it up with Gaynor, LIVE!!  Follow Gaynor real time on Instagram here.
