Debbie played the leading role of Carmen in the UK Spring 2002 Tour of Fame the Musical. The show started out in Brighton and Debbie's final week as Carmen was in Nottingham in July 2002.
The Musical was inspired by the Oscar winning movie and the hugely successful TV series of the same name. FAME follows the lives of a group of students attending New York's High School for the Performing Arts.
It's the FAME school with the famous motto: Fame cost and right here is where you start paying. The show charts the success and the struggle, the enthusiasm and the talent of the pupils from differing backgrounds and cultures, from auditions, through four years of hard work to graduation.
Romances and friendships develop as the story makes a social statement especially relevant to today's youth.
Starring alongside Debbie were Julie Atherton as Serena ,Chris Copeland as Tyrone ,Paul Spicer as Nick , David Randall as Schlomo
