We're joined by the outstanding talent that is Katie Hall on this episode of Call To Stage ! Katie has become one of the West End's most beloved leading ladies. From landing her first break - covering Christine in The Phantom of the Opera , straight out of school - she has played some of the most coveted roles in theatre, including Cosette and Fantine in Les Misérables (in the West End, UK Tour, European Tour, Arena World Tour and the iconic 25th Anniversary Concert), Maria in West Side Story (UK Tour) and Johanna in Sweeney Todd (London Coliseum). Katie currently stars as Sally Bowles in the acclaimed West End production of Cabaret .
