| Abstract/Description |
At the 2011 Helpmann Awards, the J.C. Williamson Award recognising an outstanding contribution to Australia's live performance industry was jointly presented to three groundbreaking musical theatre actresses: Nancye Hayes, Toni Lamond and Jill Perryman. As the first Australian women to be cast in leading roles in major productions, these performers paved the way for a long succession of Australian leading ladies, including Geraldine Turner ('Chicago'), Marina Prior ('The Phantom of the Opera') and Debra Byrne ('Sunset Boulevard'). |
