About this episode

Amber Davies interviews Annabelle Terry about her experiences in musical theatre and acting.

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.
