Tales from the Vienna Woods
In 1977, while playing Emma in "Tales from the Vienna Woods" at the National Theatre, Willcox, inspired by her role as a musician in "Glitter", fronted a band called Toyah which featured Joel Bogen on guitar, Mark Henry on bass, Steve Bray on drums, Peter Bush on keyboards, and herself on vocals. Having never considered herself a musician, she found herself fronting a successful band, although still uncertain about her own sexuality and repelled by her bandmates' antics with groupies.
