Hazel O'Connor as Killer Queen.
"Hazel O'Connor is the evil queen Nastina and she seems to revel in the role, stomping around the stage in black plastic outfits and singing 'Killer Queen'".

| GIRLFRIENDS AT THE PLAYHOUSE THEATRE LONDON 1987 MUSICAL | ||
|
Hazel plays the lead role of Phyllis in Girlfriends which was premiered the 16th October 1987.
The music and lyrics were written by Howard Goodall (best known for creating the themes of
Mr. Bean and Blackadder).
The musical concerns the all-female, British, World War II, Woman's
Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) which took over many of the ground crew positions to free up as
many men as possible for air combat.
To prepare for their roles, all of the female stars were trained in military etiquette by
an RAF drill sergeant (Michael Austen).
Girlfriends was the first production to re-open the Playhouse in the West End of London.
It had been "dark" for 40 years.
A cast album was not produced but as part of promoting the opening of the production a single
was recorded for airplay (and on sale at the theatre).
