A CD of the show, featuring West End and Broadway performers, is also available from the showbiz shop Dress Circle in Monmouth Street, London or via their website : go to www.dresscircle.co.uk/product.asp?StockID=31132

A song from "The Price Of Fame" was performed as part of the Sondheim Singing Competition on 1st June 2008 at Trafalgar Studios 1 in London's West End.

I have started writing a new show with Debbie called "Wife Swap : The War Years". Two families with very different lifestyles swap wives during the London Blitz of 1940. Songs from the show can be played below.  During Oct, Nov and Dec 2008 "Wife Swap" is being workshopped with The Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts through the support of the Perfect Pitch Musicals Development Network.
