After seeing the support from fans, Amber took to her Stories to say she burst into tears and added: “I am so overwhelmed with this response. I promise you Elle is in such safe hands with me. I’m so excited to be touring her. She’s a dream role, you know.
“I’m so excited to tour her around the UK and Ireland. I’m so grateful, I’m speechless. I love you all so much and see you next year!”
It comes after actress Amber launched a furious tirade at a ‘selfish’ audience member who wrecked her West End show. She was appearing in The Great Gatsby Musical in London and had a lengthy rant after someone in the stalls decided to film the production.
Amber explained in detail while recording from your seat is such an issue – and it doesn’t just irritate those who pay to see the performance. Amber, who has also played Vivian Ward in the stage show of Pretty Woman, took to Instagram to make her point, and the Welsh star didn’t hold back.
She told the woman filming to think of others as well as those performing – and says she’ll get security to act the next time she sees a person doing it.
“This is a PSA,” she said in a video on the social media platform. “The closer you are to the stage when you’re watching a show the more obvious it is when you’re filming. This is the entire stalls. If you’re filming in the stalls we can see you!
“From someone who’s on stage, I just wanna tell you a little bit about what we see. So we see like a dark canvas and outlines of people’s heads. If you’re filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back the back of your iPhone onto us on stage. So it is the one thing we can see.
“So to the woman filming New Money tonight, you distracted absolutely everybody on that stage. And not only that, it takes us out of the Gatsby world because you’re filming and you’ve basically ruined that moment for everybody else who was watching the show tonight.”
