Call To Stage with Amber Davies
We're joined by the candid, witty and magnetic John McCrea on this episode of Call To Stage!
John is one of the most distinctive actors working in British theatre today. Having stared his stage career in The Sound of Music at The Palladium, he went on to originate the role of Jamie New in Everybody's Talking About Jamie - earning an Olivier nomination and WhatsOnStage Award.
Most recently, John starred as the Emcee in Cabaret in the West End, and he currently stars in Slippery at the Omnibus Theatre.
On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and John talk about originating the role of Jamie New in Everybody's Talking About Jamie (from workshops to an Olivier nomination), life as a child performing at the Palladium and his reflections on not being a triple threat (and why it really doesn't matter).
