Episode 906: Two Soups and a Revival - Acorn Antiques Returns

This week on MusicalTalk, Nick and Dom sit down to celebrate one of British musical theatre's most brilliantly bonkers gems: Acorn Antiques.

With the recent Hope Mill Theatre production bringing Victoria Wood's cult favourite back into the spotlight, they explore how this new staging honours (and occasionally reimagines) Wood's unmistakable wit, warmth and musical mischief.

From the show's origins as a beloved sketch, to its transformation into a full-scale musical bursting with charm, Nick and Dom reflect on why Acorn Antiques continues to resonate with audiences decades later. They discuss standout moments from the Hope Mill production, the enduring brilliance of Wood's writing and the extraordinary legacy she left behind as one of Britain's most cherished comedic voices.
