Glad you enjoyed Elaine in concert.
I have to agree with everything you wrote. She's an amazing artist and one hell of a live performer.
Saw her several times in concerts and in shows and she always gave more than 120% of herself and her soul in every song.
"Cry Me A River" by Paige is probably the best interpretation that I've ever heard and "if You Love Me" (from Piaf) is a class of its own.
VIVA LA PAIGE!

By the far best experience was meeting the wonderful Rosie Ashe after a performance of "The Killer Soprano" (her solo show). Such a fine, gentle and lovely lady!
I've talked with her for nearly 30 minutes about almost everything: her wonderful career and about creating Carlotta for Lloyd Webber's "Phantom".

Please stop the "Elaine-can't-act" bashing.
She's a wonderful gifted and brilliant actress and her Norma is, by far, the very best.
I've seen her several times in London and she received a standing ovation in every production I witnessed (and you know what that mean in London!).

Sarah Jessica Parker To Star in 'Boeing Boeing' on Broadway Feb 27
2008, 07:06:33 AM
According to imdb.com Sarah Jessica Parker is to star in 'Boeing Boeing' on Broadway.
"Sarah Jessica Parker is set to tread the boards in New York - as an Italian air hostess. The 42-year-old will take on the role of a flight attendant in the Broadway version of hit comedy Boeing Boeing, which is currently running in London. Parker will appear in the play at New York's Longacre Theatre from April - and insists she is still determined to explore a variety of roles because she doesn't want to become typecast. She says, "Everything I've done since Sex And The City ended on TV has been completely different."

@ Charlie No-One:
Julia Murney - I'll second that!
She's fantastic as Elphaba - just love her.
I was also blown away by Kerry Ellis in the London production of WICKED.
And of course there's Stephanie J Block who's always devine.

re: Just Cast a 'REAL' Woman as Edna already. Aug 23
2007, 04:33:58 PM
John Waters wrote the role of Edna originally for famed transsexual Christine Jorgensen. However, when the role of Tracy had to be rewritten, John Waters also rewrote the role of Edna in order to keep his friend and muse Divine in the production
(according to imdb)
Also we have to keep in mind the pictures of Michael Ball are all AFTER his "transformation".
We don't know yet what he'll look in the very beginning.

I just love Joan Rivers! Her one woman show was hilarious.
Just for the heck of it.. here's a line from "An audience with Joan Rivers" (which she taped for Britsih TV):
[reading a list of celebrities who couldn't make it that night]
Joan Rivers: Paris Hilton - she's doing a new reality show: I'm a Celebrity, Get Him Out of Me... Joan Collins - she's at the British museum being carbon dated, I understand that. Oh, come on, "She's very young" Please! I remember when that bitch wa
