  • 125 - Annabelle Terry on Legally Blonde, Shakespeare & Training
    Jun 24 2026

    On this episode of Call To Stage, we're joined by the brilliantly warm, sharp and versatile Annabelle Terry — Amber's Vivienne in Legally Blonde!

    Annabelle has starred in the Original Cast of "Get Down Tonight: The KC & The Sunshine Band Musical" in both London and at the Edinburgh Fringe, the London production of Scissorhandz' as well as multiple Shakespeare productions in the US and across the UK (including the National Theatre).

    On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Annabelle talk about the leap of faith from straight acting into musical theatre later in your career, the invisible string that connects Annabelle to her co-star Karen Mavundukure and the wonderful creative freedom of working opposite a scene partner you can truly play with.

    There are also stories from touring America performing Shakespeare, the philosophy of saying yes to things that excite you rather than things that are strategic as well as a heartfelt conversation about not writing yourself off, and why the worst that can happen in an audition really isn't that bad at all.

  • 124 - Karen Mavundukure on Legally Blonde, Tour Digs & Dreamgirls
    Jun 17 2026

    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.

  • 123 - It's A Q&A! Leading A Tour, Legally Blonde & Reality TV...
    Jun 10 2026

    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.
