Helloooooo darlings!!
HUMONGOUS day in the studio today. It’s long-awaited. You’ve been begging for it. It’s everyone’s faaaavourite iPad kid … Australia’s very own Heather McNamara from Heathers: The Musical … it’s Abigail Sharp!!
You were all absolutely desperate to know what Abi’s experience has been like going straight from high school immediately in to a professional touring musical theatre production. We chat about that insane transition, the steep learning curve Abi’s been on as well as the experience of achieving your dream job at such a young age.
This ep is absolutely packed with giggles and stories aplenty. We chat about first impressions, gaining stamina, onstage mistakes, learning about boundaries as a performer, dream roles, it being Abi’s first day on earth, what the kids are doing when they’re going to the club these days and much much more.
We also share some of our favourite Abi and Mel stories involving shared nebulisers, a ginormous spider and a real bad case of Munchausen by proxy. We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.
The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.
Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
