We're joined by an absolute icon of British music and theatre - the one, the only, the incomparable Beverley Knight MBE is on this episode of Call To Stage!
Beverley's career spans four decades and multiple industries. A self-described "born singer" who was performing by the age of four, she spent two decades as one of the UK's most celebrated soul and R&B artists before making a seamless - and Olivier Award-winning - transition into musical theatre as an adult.
Beverley's theatre career includes the West End casts of The Bodyguard, Memphis, The Drifters Girls, Grizabella in Cats, Deloris in Sister Act and more. Along the way, she has earned three Olivier Award and WhatsOnStage nominations, including one Olivier win for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for Sylvia.
She currently stars as Emmeline Pankhurst in Sylvia, which tours the UK before culminating at the Royal Albert Hall.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Beverley talk about the decision to leave music behind and audition for the West End with no stage school training, getting an Olivier nom for Memphis and her tradition of 'Bev's Bomb Bom Fridays' which she's kept going across every show she's ever done.
There are also stories from The Bodyguard, The Drifters Girl and Sylvia as well as a heartfelt conversation about keeping going in the face of rejection.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber is joined by the hilarious Christian Edwards... who arrives straight from the reinvented production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Newbury to be with us!
Christian has built one of the most eclectic and entertaining careers in British theatre, spanning straight plays, musicals and regional tours. Having established himself with major West End roles in Les Mise´rables and Oliver!, he has gone on to perform in plays at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre (including A Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth) as well as UK Tours of Rasputin, Emma, Cyrano and more.
However, Christian also has one role unlike any other on Call To Stage - having played the anonymous satirical theatre personality West End Producer for 14 years; winding up, celebrating and gently skewering the British theatre industry, all while playing roles in the very shows he was tweeting about.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Christian talk about the birth of the West End Producer - the 14-year secret that had him lying to friends' faces, getting Cameron Mackintosh to follow him without ever revealing who he was, and the "I'm Spartacus" style reveal that had Beverley Knight, Rufus Hound and Reece Shearsmith all claiming to be him.
There are also stories from Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a relatable conversation about imposter syndrome and the two fish in the river outside the theatre that decide whether it's going to be a good show.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and KayCee talk about the full-circle moment of returning to High School Musical twenty years on, the decision to uproot her whole family and move to London and the moving story of how a shy girl from Utah walked into a casting call and found the role that changed her life.

Having broken through playing the titular role in the UK tour of Dear Evan Hansen in 2024, Ryan has also starred in the acclaimed and Olivier Award nominated London production of Newsies as well as the West End production of Book of Mormon and The Addams Family concert at the London Palladium.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Ryan talk about the discipline and monk-like lifestyle required to sustain Evan Hansen eight shows a week, the surreal experience of landing a role in Newsies when dancing is firmly not his thing and the joy of discovering straight theatre after years of leading musical roles.
There are also stories from Dear Evan Hansen, Book of Mormon, the Addams Family Palladium concert as well as a genuinely wonderful conversation about skincare routines, glow drops, and the unexpected price of a buccal massage!

On this episode of Call To Stage, we're joined by the sensational Karen Mavundukure - Amber's Paulette, partner in on-stage comedy crime and self-described forever sister.
Karen's journey into musical theatre came almost by accident. After moving to the UK from Zimbabwe as a child and studying straight music at LIPA with no intention of going into theatre, she stumbled into the industry via The X Factor and a chance audition, going on to play alternate Effie in the original West End cast of Dreamgirls.
She has since starred in The Color Purple (UK Tour), Stranger Things: The First Shadow (West End), and now stars as Paulette in the UK Tour of Legally Blonde.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Karen talk about the unconventional route Karen took to landing Paulette, unique creative freedom of director Nikolai Foster's rehearsal room and the comedic chemistry between Paulette and Elle that has become one of the heart-and-soul moments of the show.
There are also brilliant stories from Dreamgirls, The Color Purple and Stranger Things, as well as a candid conversation about the toll of pushing through illness on tour, touring digs gone wrong, and letting go of vocal-health rituals that had become more of a burden than a help.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber is flying solo — and this time it's a full Q&A, straight from her Instagram.
With a phone full of questions from her followers, Amber settles in for one of the most fun, frank and wide-ranging episodes she's ever recorded. This one covers everything!
Amber opens up about the realities of touring in a leading role for the second time — how it compares to Pretty Woman, what she's learned about looking after herself, and why playing Elle Woods still genuinely doesn't feel like work. She gets candid about managing mental health on the road, dealing with drama (or choosing not to) and the hard-won wisdom that comes with doing this job for over a decade.
There are behind-the-scenes moments too — including the story of the quick change that went spectacularly wrong on closing night in Sheffield — as well as heartfelt reflections on the co-stars who have shaped her most, from Louise Redknapp teaching her the ropes of the public eye on 9 to 5, to Corbin Blue showing her what it means to truly give in a scene, to the unspoken comedy rhythm she has found with her Legally Blonde co-star Karen.
Amber also answers fan questions on her dream roles, her favourite theatres, Strictly, long distance relationships, blanking on stage, and — inevitably — which kind of potato she would be.

On this episode of Call To Stage, we're joined by the wonderfully warm and completely charming Laura Baldwin.
Laura has built one of the most varied and impressive careers in British musical theatre. A natural comedienne with a voice to match, her credits include Lena Lamont in Singin' in the Rain (Royal Exchange Manchester), Dawn in the original West End cast of Waitress, Danielle in the London production of 101 Dalmatians and a stint in the original West End cast of Cinderella — where she found a lifelong soul sister in co-star Georgina Castle.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Laura talk about the surreal experience of landing Lena Lamont after a single audition, the door-flinging moment of being cast in Waitress and stepping into the West End for the first time, and the beautiful chaos of being bridesmaid at the wedding of the season.
There are also brilliant stories from 101 Dalmatians, Shrek and Cinderella as well as an honest and funny conversation about imposter syndrome in the rehearsal room, the agony of first day read-throughs and the importance of learning to fill your own cup.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber is joined by the effortlessly charming, brilliantly funny and refreshingly down-to-earth Jacob Fowler.
Jacob has had one of the most unconventional and exciting paths into musical theatre - after discovering a love of performing doing Into the Woods at school, he left drama school early to compete on Little Mix: The Search — the BBC talent show that changed the course of his life — before going on to win the competition and support Little Mix on their final arena tour at the O2.
He made his professional theatre debut as JD in Heathers at the Other Palace, went on to play the Addams Family on tour alongside Alexandra Burke and Leslie Joseph, and most recently starred in in the eleven-time Olivier Award-nominated production of Into the Woods at the Bridge Theatre.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Jacob talk about the surreal bubble of filming Little Mix: The Search during lockdown, the unexpected joy of being a standby and the unconventional routes into the industry.
There are also brilliant stories from Heathers, the Olivier Awards and life with the Into the Woods company, as well as a lively debate about touring versus the West End and Jacob's dream role...

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber is joined by the extraordinarily talented, endlessly wise and brilliantly warm Killian Donnelly.
Killian is one of the most decorated and versatile performers of his generation. A GRAMMY Award nominee and two-time Olivier Award nominee, his remarkable career began — with no formal training — as a swing in Les Misérables in the West End, a show he has returned to time and again, eventually playing Jean Valjean in the West End, World Arena Tour and the iconic 40th Anniversary Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
His other landmark credits include Charlie Price in Kinky Boots in the West End and on Broadway, Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera, Hughie Calhoun in Memphis The Musical, Tony in Billy Elliot, and Deco in The Commitments under the direction of Jamie Lloyd.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Killian talk about the extraordinary moment he performed at the Academy Awards in LA, what it was like standing on the Royal Albert Hall stage surrounded by 400 amateur theatre performers for the Les Misérables 40th Anniversary Royal Variety Performance and how he went from no training to becoming one of the most sought-after leading men in British musical theatre.
There are also brilliant stories from Kinky Boots, Memphis, Billy Elliot and his time on Broadway, as well as a masterclass in acting — the power of the pause, honouring the most important thing in the room, and why banging a table always means you've lost the argument.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Helen talk about the long and winding journey to landing Glinda, the terrifying reality of being thrown in at the deep end as an emergency cover in week one of the first UK Tour, and the extraordinary experience of attending the Wicked film premiere surrounded by an array of Glinda's past and present.
There are also brilliant stories from the bubble as well as a deeply honest and moving conversation about the realities of returning to eight shows a week as a new mum and why the industry urgently needs more job-sharing options for working mothers.

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.
