Angela Ayers was the golden girl of NZ TV through her appearances with Peter Sinclair and Craig Scott in the musical TV shows Happen Inn and Sing in the 70’s. This led to her being voted NZ’s Queen of Television and Most Popular Female Artist. In NZ she recorded on the Kontact label. Shortly after moving to Australia, she won the plum role of Maggie in A Chorus Line subsequently winning the only scholarship the New York Shakespearian Festival Trust had ever awarded to study Jazz/Ballet in Los Angeles.
A steady stream of significant roles in Musical Theatre kept her in Oz throughout the 80’s including West Side Story, The Rocky Horror Show, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Cabaret, Chicago, Guys and Dolls with Anthony Warlow, Nancye Hayes and the late Ricky May and Jerry’s Girls for Gordon Frost alongside Marcia Hines, Judi Connelli and the late Jeannie Little. She was signed by Festival and released ''Key To My Heart (Rose's Song)'' (1980) and ''Head Over Heels'' (1981). She appeared regularly on all National Variety TV Shows in Australia in the 90’s such as The Don Lane Show, Mike Walsh Show, Hey Hey it’s Saturday and The Two Ronnie’s Specials as well as many TV shows and commercials.
