Ali Day reveals what more
of those ex-Sunset cast members are up to now.
LINDA BALGORD
Is currently playing Violet Chandler in the American premiere of "The Fix", in
Washington, DC.
DEBRA BYRNE
The wait is over for Debbies fans! She is finally appearing publicly in a concert of
hers at the Crown Casino Showroom in Melbourne. The concert will feature guest stars, and
its going to be on the 28th of March. An additional note: watch out for a Debra
Byrne shrine!
ROBERT GRUBB
Robert played Cecil B. when "Sunset" first opened in Melbourne, then he was
"promoted" to play Max when Norbert Lamla left the cast. He is now playing the
Baker in the Melbourne production of "Into the Woods".
GLYN KERSLAKE
On the 8th of March, Glyn presented his very own cabaret act at Las Estrellas-which I hear
was great fun, and it turned out to be very successful. Glyn Kerslake was given the part
of the Phantom in the London production of "Phantom of the Opera". Glyns
opening night is on the 6th of April
Until then, standby Scott Davies is playing the
role of the Phantom. Glyn certainly didnt give up his plans to produce yet another
solo album
The solo album being worked on will feature more of his own songs rather
than show tunes. For more info, visit the Glyn Kerslake website:

JUDY KUHN
Judy was a member of the "Strike Up the Band" company, which is to be produced
by City Center by the Encores! series. The show played from 12-15 of February.
CAROLYN OCONNOR
Carolyn didnt participate in any of the big productions of "Sunset Blvd".
She only played a small-yet crucial part in the original Sydmonton tryouts of "Sunset
Blvd". Carolyn is going to play Roxie Hart in the Melbourne production of
"Chicago". The official opening night is on the 4th of July (how American!)
ELAINE PAIGE
Elaine Paige is to star in the play "The Misanthrope" which opens in London on
the 26th of March. In June 7th and 8th, Elaine will participate in the "Hey Mr.
Producer!" concert dedicated to producer Cameron Mackintosh. She will also appear at
Hampton Court Palace Festival on the 19th of June. You can catch Elaine doing her stuff
opposite Antonio Banderas in the upcoming Andrew Lloyd Webber birthday celebration.
ALICE RIPLEY
Alice is to play Daisy Mae in "Lil Abner". The production is part of the
Encores! series, which presented the recent "Chicago" success.
FRANCES RUFFELLE
Frances was the very first Betty, in the Sydmonton preview of "Sunset". She is
finally returning to the spotlight in a cabaret act of her own. The act would take place
at the Triad in NYC, on the 12th of March and the 14th of March. On the 16th of March,
Frances Ruffelle is to sing yet again, at The Mercury Lounge.
HELEN SCHNEIDER
Helen Schneider just had her solo concert in Frankfurt a week ago. It was recently
announced on TV that Helen would be in the new musical "Dracula". The musical
opens in Hannover on the 12th of June. The musical is currently running very successfully
in Prague at the moment.
