It's Christmas! Who better to spend our Christmas with than one of the most festive performers in the UK... it's Alfie Boe!

Alfie Boe is one of the most accomplished leading men in West End history. Having played Jean Valjean in Les Misérables multiple times - including in the epic 25th Anniversary Concert and most recently in the Arena World Tour - he has the unique gift of making a legendary role his own.

Outside of the French revolution, Alfie was selected by Baz Luhrmann to play the lead in the Broadway production of La boheme, alongside leading the Broadway production of Finding Neverland and the West End production of Carouse. He has also notably collaborated many times with fellow West End star Michael Ball, as part of the duo Ball & Boe.

In this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Alfie talk about transitioning from being a mechanic to becoming a singer, inhabiting the role of Jean Valjean, his friendship with Michael Ball and adapting to playing in arenas.
