Home and Away Actor to appear in London's Priscilla

Ray Meagher has played the role of Alf Stewart in the Australian soap Home and Away since the pilot episode in 1988, and is the last and longest remaining original cast member. 

But he is leaving Summer Bay for a while to take over the part of Bob in the musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert from September. The role is currently being played by John Bowe.

He has already played the role in Sydney replacing Michael Caton – but only for two weeks.  He is taking a six month break from Home & Away while he appears at the Palace Theatre in London’s West End.
