Dreamscape – Toyah Willcox Fansite

Hard to believe but it’s now 10 years since Toyah was touring the UK playing the lead role in the musical Calamity Jane. Before a three-month residency at The Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End in 2003, the musical played at numerous theatres, and to thousands of people, during a nine-month UK tour that began in September 2002 at the Derngate Theatre, Northampton . It was an incredibly physical and demanding role for Toyah, making a year of shows all the more impressive. I was lucky enough to see Calamity Jane on a few occasions: In Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and London and each time Toyah and the show were fantastic.

You probably do as it was only a year ago. In fact exactly a year ago, Toyah’s collaboration with Yomanda, ‘Fallen’, was released in September 2011. In retrospect it was quite a big deal, with the premiere performance at ‘Manchester Pride’, a great promo video, press articles, ‘Vintage TV’ interview, a live PA at Wig Out, and even a Dreamscape fan advert…
