This is Call To Stage, the podcast from Amber Davies, where musical theatre takes centre stage. From unforgettable backstage stories to exclusive news and insights, each week musical theatre and Dancing On Ice star Amber is joined by stars of the stage (and sometimes just fans of it!) to chat, laugh… and maybe even sing.
We have showbiz royalty on this episode of Call To Stage - Amber is joined by the legendary Brian Conley!
Alongside his numerous television appearances (hosting the Royal Variety Performance eight times and winning numerous National Television Awards), Brian is amongst the UK's most accomplished theatre performers.
Brian has played the lead in some of the most notable musicals in the world - including the West End productions of Me and My Girl, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Hairspray and A Christmas Carol, as well as the UK Tours of Oliver! (as Fagin) and Barnum. He was nominated for an Olivier for his performance in the West End production of Jolson.
Most recently, Brian performed as Doc Brown in the West End production of Back To The Future: The Musical.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Brian talk about sharing the stage in 9 To 5 - including onstage mishaps, backstage chaos... and Brian being suspended on the air for half the show!
They also talk about their separate experiences at Back To The Future and Strictly Come Dancing as well as stories from Hairspray and Brian's 40 years doing pantomimes! Plus - the ultimate trick if you ever forget your lines on stage.
