Interview: 'It's Utterly Thrilling': Jo Parsons On Creating and Directing Edinburgh Fringe Hit, SHANTIFY, In The West End
by Kat Mokrynski - Jun 1, 2026
After two successful sailings of the sea of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Shantify is docking in London for a run at Underbelly Boulevard Soho. The show, a “nautical musical adventure,” stars a crew of West End performers who take a range of songs and transform them into sea shanties with harmonies that will shiver your timbers. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Jo Parsons, the creator and director of Shantify. We discussed the evolution of the show over the past few years, how songs get turned into sea shanties and what it is like to direct something like Shantify versus Les Misérables!
