In 1976 she was recruited into Arlene Phillips' troupe Hot Gossip in 1977.

She was also briefly with Pan's People after they parted with their host show Top of the Pops in 1976.

1981

In 1981, she made her West End musical theatre debut in Cats and met composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, whom she later married.

She went on to star in several West End and Broadway musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera, where she originated the role of Christine Daaé.

In 1981, Brightman auditioned for the new musical Cats, by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, and was cast as Jemima.

After a year in Cats, Brightman took over from Bonnie Langford as Kate in The Pirates of Penzance at the Drury Lane Theatre, London, and appeared as Tara Treetops in Masquerade, a musical based on Kit Williams's book of the same title.

In that year she left to play the title role in Charles Strouse's children's opera, Nightingale.
