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.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber is joined by her Legally Blonde tour co-star and resident director — the phenomenal Jocasta Almgill.
Jocasta has worked on some of the most exciting musicals in the UK - from being in the original London production of In The Heights to the ensemble in Dreamgirls at the Savoy Theatre. Jocasta also starred in the Original West End cast of & Juliet, the West End production of Grease and the UK tour of A Chorus Line.
She currently plays Brooke Wyndham, and serves as resident director, on the UK Tour of Legally Blonde.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Jocasta talk about the deeply personal meaning of playing Brooke Wyndham, and how this updated casting marks a new era for representation on stage, how Dreamgirls helped her realise she could be a leading lady, and what it really means to be a resident director.
There are also stories from Grease, & Juliet and A Chorus Line, the saga of lying about playing guitar on her CV, and a very large lurcher called Luna who has become the unofficial mascot of the Legally Blonde tour!
