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.

Today's the day, old sports! We have officially entered Call To Stage: Gatsby Edition and for the next two months, Amber is going to be joined by her fellow cast mates from The Great Gatsby on the West End. And we're starting big...

Rachel Tucker is a bonafide legend of the West End. With numerous Olivier Award and WhatsOnStage Award nominations, her work includes playing Elphaba inWicked on the West End, Broadway and as part of the London 10th Anniversary Cast, her multi-award nominated run in Come From Away, Norma Desmond in the Jamie Lloyd production of Sunset Boulevard at the Savoy Theatre and We Will Rock You at the Dominion.

Most recently, Rachel was Persephone in a sell-out run in Hadestown and she currently plays Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby.

On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Rachel talk about record-breaking runs in Wicked, performing on Broadway, receiving recognition for Come From Away and performing whilst pregnant.

They also share behind-the-scenes secrets from working together on Gatsby and Rachel shares her first impressions from when she received the offer to play Myrtle!
