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 a multiple Olivier Award nominated actor on Call To Stage today... and, even better, she is form one of Amber's favourite shows currently on in the West End.

Clare Foster started her professional career in Germany, as an understudy in Saturday Night Fever. Ever since then, she has shot to the top of London's theatre royalty. With roles in We Will Rock You, Avenue Q (where she received her first Olivier nomination), Crazy For You (where she received her first WhatsOnStage Award nomination), Merrily We Roll Along, Travesties and, most recently, in Consent at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

Clare has performed around the world - from Boston to Bolton, and currently stars in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, for which she was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

On this weeks episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Clare talk about making her West End debut in We Will Rock You, the crazy ride that was Avenue Q and working on TV shows such as The Bill and Casualty. They reflect on the importance of learning from failures, and the joys of working with a reliable cast.
