Entitled "Limelight," Webb's 12-track disc is currently available from London show-biz shop Dress Circle. In a recent interview for Playbill On Line, Webb explained, "I've just done a new CD. I actually did it while I was doing the King and I tour . . . I produced it myself, and it's mostly all show songs. There are two from King and I, 'Hello Young Lovers' and 'Shall We Dance?' I put [my] three hits on: 'Ben,' 'Take that Look Off Your Face' and 'Always There' . . . And there's a song from Oliver! — mainly they are songs I've sung in shows, like when I played Nancy [in Oliver!] and 'Stage Door John,' which is from Good Companions. There's also a lovely song from Aida, which I love, 'Elaborate Lives.'"
