Re. mention of Liz Corrigan by Eric Frandsen. I remember doing a promo. performance in the 1970s, of a musical version of a Bertolt Brecht play called "A Man's a Man". The venue was The Keyhole Club in New York City, and the idea was to attract investors. Liz Corrigan sang the part of "The Widow Begbick" and had some splendid songs with musical settings by the late Arnold Black, who was arranger for Judy Collins for awhile. Liz was a fine singer. Also in the cast were the late Royston Wood and Charles O'Hegarty, who were both terrific. All of our payment checks bounced but we had a great time and I did see Liz some years later in cabaret at "The Ballroom" in NYC.
I know Eric went into acting and was part of the Ibsen series at the Century Center in New York and got fine reviews for his part in, I think, "John Gabriel Borkman", I also took part in that series In "Rosmesholm" and the "Master Builder", and they went over very well.
Don't know where Liz is now, Charles O'Hegarty is in London.
