from Call To Stage with Amber Davies
Imagine being so naturally talented that your career started as a joke... and now you're in London starring as the King of Pop in front of sold out audiences every night! Jamaal Fields-Green is the West End's MJ in MJ The Musical - currently starring, after initially coming in as an emergency cover. His career started when he landed the role of Seaweed in Hairspray at high school (after his friends signed him up as a joke!) and has since thrived in productions including The Choir Boy and the Chicago production of Hamilton - his first major role straight out of college. Jamaal's story teaches us that anyone can make their dream of performing come true, no matter what time in your life you find theatre (as long as you're insanely talented!). On this episode of Call To Stage, Amber and Jamaal talk about performing in the UK vs the US, his experience playing MJ, landing his role in Hamilton straight out of college and his uncommon route into the industry...
