Tell Me On A Sunday

Got to me then, and still does today....

I loved Song & Dance and saw Bernadette Peters a few times as well as Betty Buckley.

My husband is a show queen, and he occasionally has bouts of Marti Webb withdrawal. Then he plays this fucking song all day.

Andrew Lloyd Webber revived the show in 2003 with Denise Van Outen. I think she took it to Broadway. She released a cd of it anyhow.

I saw the show with Faye from Steps who was very good. She has a great voice for musical theatre.

It's been revived a couple more times in Britain with minor stars Claire Sweeney and Jodie Prenger.

Take That Look Of Your Face was a big hit in the UK back in the day. The lyrics were used in a French & Saunders sketch which was my introduction to it.

Great vocals. Better than Elaine Page.

I saw Melissa Manchester do it on the American tour. She was quite charming and sang it well but lacked the emotional vulnerability of Peters. She landed the comedy though.

The 2nd act is even more of a piffle than the 1st.

Sarah Brightman did it as well.

Lulu did it too in the West End. Champagne for Lulu!

Nothing Like You've Ever Known....

Because we've all been there at least once.... Some of the words may change, but overall thing is same.

What is an LP?...

I always found her performance wooden as fuck. She just stands there....

Personally, I prefer When You Want to Fall in Love to Unexpected Song. (Also, prefer Dance to Song).

sorry.

I like Act Two.

I thought it as Never on a Sunday?

Why is this show called either Song and Dance or Tell Me on A Sunday? Did they change the show or just the title?

Andrew Lloyd Webber paired Tell Me On A Sunday (which was a hit) with another one act show "Song & Dance...

"Tell Me on a Sunday became Act I of Song and Dance, which was staged at the West End with Marti Webb again starring as 'the girl'. Over the course of its run, she was succeeded by Lulu, Gemma Craven, Liz Robertson, and Sarah Brightman."

Thank you!

R17, technically Dance is not another show. It is the male journey told through dance. At the very end, there is a brief moment where the man sings and the woman dances, as they are now a couple.

What’s the story with Sarah Brightman? I always thought she was a hideous singer. Did she have a career apart from fucking Lloyd Webber?

is that bitch holding a can of pledge on the cover of that album? if she is - MARY!

It's a can of spray paint you mook.

[quote]Great vocals. Better than Elaine Page.

The BBC had an Elaine Paige night on Saturday. They had an hour long programme of her performances on BBC shows and included her performance of One Night In Bangkok, which looked like it had been styled and choreographed by Theresa May.

R23 I interviewed her once, in different cities, through an ear piece. She tried to Diva it up, I licked her ass, and then she gave me 8 minutes of lovely TV.

It’s pledge

Elaine singing I'm Still Here at 8.23, with new lyrics written to mark her 50th anniversary in musical, performed with Sondheim's blessing.

The rhyme about her fans being there is amusing.

Whenever I think of Marti Webb I always think of Howards Way. Poor Lynette, such a tragic life.

The lyrics are some of the worst ever written for the stage. Or have we forgotten: "Take me to a zoo with chimpanzees..."

I worked with Elaine at NYCO in Sweeney Todd. She was an absolute doll and totally wonderful throughout. She was kind of overparted and scared, and her performance never seemed to take off, I think because it was a little low for her vocally and she didn’t have nearly enough rehearsal to pull it together. With opera houses, casts are prepared and learn everything well in advance. She showed up like it was a Broadway house pretty much unprepared and having to learn it on the fly. My point being she could have been awful with all the pressure, and she was lovely and collegial throughout.

R28 love to hear that. There's no pro like an old pro.
