Tony Jaques , Othona warden and former arts broadcaster, is a lover of the musical theatre. He presents a weekend asking whether some musicals are more than just entertainment. Can they be genuinely moving, meaningful, perhaps even spiritually enlightening?

Tony will look with us at two current shows: "Les Miserables" and "Whistle Down the Wind". Both are touring the UK this year and Les Mis continues in London (not to mention cities worldwide). But don't worry if you've not seen these shows. As well as discussing, we'll listen to recordings, enjoy a bit of live performance, and just for the fun of it watch a superb but too-little-known film musical.
