We're joined by a true icon of British musical theatre on this episode of Call To Stage... the extraordinary Kerry Ellis is on the show!

Kerry Ellis is undoubtedly one of the most storied and gifted performers in British theatre. Having made her professional debut in the West End production of My Fair Lady, she has gone on to play among the most iconic roles in the West End - including Nancy in Oliver!, Grizabella in Cats, Fantine in Les Miserables, Meat in We Will Rock You... and, of course, Elphaba in Wicked, where she was the first British Elphaba in the West End (taking over the role from Idina Menzel), a role she then reprised on Broadway.

Kerry is currently on the road with the Gravity Tour alongside Louise Dearman and Rachel Tucker, a celebration of their decades-long friendship and shared history with Wicked — with a solo UK tour, Rock Anthems, also on the horizon.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Kerry share stories from many of Kerry's most iconic roles - including Wicked, the Miss Saigon tour, We Will Rock You... and how Kerry's recent experience in 101 Dalmatians ended up with a very large surprise!

They also talk about the sheer audacity of going on as Eliza Doolittle at the National Theatre with no rehearsals, how Brian May changed the course of her career, as well as a deeply honest conversation about vocal fatigue, guilt, the Elphaba community looking out for one another.

We're joined by the effortlessly cool and funny Jamie Chatterton on this episode of Call To Stage!

This episode was recorded in between shows in Liverpool in Amber's dressing room!

Having trained at ArtsEd, Jamie has since gone on to star in The Sound of Music (Curve), as well as originating the roles of Tom Fraser in the critically acclaimed West End production of The Little Big Things and Alan Osmond in the world premiere National Tour of The Osmonds.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Jamie talk about the journey of going from training to West End stages, the emotional weight and life-changing impact of originating a role in Little Big Things and why touring keeps a show fresh in ways that a long West End run simply can't replicate.

There are also stories from The Osmonds, Sound of Music and Legally Blonde - including Jamie's audition process, being a six-foot-two nun floating across the stage, and the unexpected way love has a habit of finding you when you least expect it.

It's Legally Blonde tour bestie time on this episode of Call To Stage, as Amber is joined by the hugely talented and gloriously fun Rosanna Harris.

This episode was recorded in between shows in Glasgow in Amber's dressing room!

Rosanna is currently playing Serena and serving as second cover Elle on the UK Tour of Legally Blonde, having carved out an impressive career that includes the UK and International Tours of Grease and Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds arena tour.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Rosanna talk about Rosanna's winding audition process for Legally Blonde — including a last-minute self-tape, a dramatic email to her agent, and asking to restart mid-audition — as well as what it really feels like to be living out your dream role every night.

There are also behind-the-scenes moments from life on the Legally Blonde tour, the realities of managing your voice and energy across a big leading role, and the unexpected joy of finding your person on the road.

Rosanna also shares her dream roles, the musical that first made her fall in love with theatre and why Miss Congeniality absolutely needs to be a musical — trademarked, right here, right now.

On this episode of Call To Stage, we're joined by the wonderfully warm, funny and refreshingly grounded Ben Irish.

Ben has become one of the West End's most reliable and versatile leading men. A self-confessed late starter — discovered through a work experience placement at an amateur theatre group in Portsmouth at the age of 15 — he trained at ArtsEd and has since built an impressive career across some of musical theatre's most beloved shows.

His credits include Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys, Joe in 9 to 5 The Musical, Sky in Mamma Mia!, Sam in Ghost (which he also toured across Asia) and Hans in Frozen The Musical, which was filmed for Disney+.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Ben talk about coming to musical theatre late and why there is truly no right time or right way into this industry, the family feeling that comes with long runs and touring companies, and the very real emotional and practical challenges of life between jobs.

There are also stories from Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia! and Ghost, as well as conversations about setting boundaries, protecting your personal life and knowing when to say no — even when the jobs are good.

We have a special solo episode of Call To Stage this week - as Amber opens up about her life recently.

Fresh off a difficult few weeks that have taken a real toll physically and emotionally, Amber sits down to share her side of the story in full: the illness, the press, the online trolling, and everything in between.

Amber also opens up about winning a WhatsOnStage Award for her performance as in The Great Gatsby — a role she describes as the most important contract of her career.

She also gets candid about the physical cost of going from Strictly Come Dancing straight into rehearsals for Legally Blonde with only a ten-day turnaround, and the chest and sinus infection that forced her off stage mid-run.

Amber also speaks openly about the wave of negative press and online trolling she has faced since being cast as Elle Woods - and she sets the record straight. She talks about finding her coping mechanisms, the importance of using her platform to speak out, and why she refuses to let it overshadow her dream role and the best year of her life.

We're joined by the exceptionally talented and charismatic Billy Nevers on this episode of Call To Stage!

Billy trained at the Italia Conti Junior School before leaving early — at just 17 — to make his West End debut in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Barbican (and, later, the Regents Park Open Air Theatre). He also starred in the original West End cast of & Juliet, and played Lafayette and Jefferson on the Hamilton UK & Ireland Tour, before going on to cover and then take over the role of Aaron Burr.

Billy earned a Black British Theatre Award nomination for his work in Legally Blonde at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Billy talk about their separate experiences in productions of Legally Blonde, Billy's journey through Hamilton (from Lafayette and Jefferson to covering and eventually taking over as Aaron Burr) and the impact of Billy's Black British Theatre Award nomination.

Plus, Billy shares his experience from leaving stage school early to launch straight into the West, and the emotional tug-of-war between not wanting to be on tour anymore and having the biggest opportunity of his life.
