Our guest on this week's episode of Call To Stage isn't just a hugely accomplished performer, but he's also one of the most loved actors by other performers!

Benjamin Yates has toured the world in Jesus Christ Superstar, toured the country in Wicked (as 1st Cover Fiyero) and has cemented himself in the West End as a cast member in iconic shows including Cats, School of Rock, Jersey Boys and, most recently, the acclaimed revival of The Wizard of Oz.

On this weeks episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Ben talk about the challenges of covering roles, struggling with imposter syndrome and the journey of finding your place in the theatre world. Along the way, Ben also shares insights from his roles in Jersey Boys, Cats and The Wizard of Oz.

Towards the end of the episode, we also pay tribute to The Vivian and share thoughts about losing a colleague in the industry.
