STAGES OF MY LIFE
The big news is that Melissa has persuaded me to write an hour-long show and submit it for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August. She had a sellout success there last year with her show 'Ella, Marlene, Marilyn & Me' - quite a rare thing at the Fringe - and she's doing it again this year.
Would you believe my show has been accepted and I'll be presenting it as a world premier in a brand new theatre next door to where Melissa will be !
The show is called 'Stages of My Life' and is my musical life-story, featuring songs I have written and show-stopping songs from stage musicals I have starred in. It will run from 7 ­ 17 August 2008 at The Vault Annexe Theatre, Merchant St, Edinburgh.
