In 1984 she was offered the leading role of Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell's musical 'Blood Brothers', and received great critical acclaim. She went on to appear in many other West End musicals including Eva Peron in 'Evita', Fantine in 'Les Miserables', Florence in 'Chess', Rose in 'Aspects of Love' and Joan of Arc in 'Jeanne' at Sadlers Wells. Rebecca was guest star in the Freddie Starr Show in Bournemouth which was a tremendous success, playing to an audience of 3,000 per show!

She starred in 'The Magic of The Musicals', 'Side By Side By Sondheim' and 'The Songs of Edith Piaf'. Rebecca has performed several times for royalty, including The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of York and was delighted and honoured to sing at The King of Norway's' coronation, the only foreign artiste to do so.

Her television roles have included appearances on all major UK variety shows, the starring role as Tanya in the BBC TV rock opera of the same name, Wogan, Top of the Pops, Late Late Show and her own One Hour Specials, An Evening With Rebecca Storm and Sunday Night At The Cork Opera House.

She has enjoyed great success with several solo concert tours including sell out performances at The Point Theatre Dublin, the National Concert Hall Glasgow, Birmingham N.E.C and the Olympia Theatre Dublin.

In the summer of '99 Rebecca appeared in the famous Clontarf Castle playing to packed houses for six months and was very proud to be asked to join the Derry and Dublin choirs in a live R.T.E link up at Merrion Square to celebrate the new Millennium, broadcasting to over two billion people.
