Barbara is my favorite singing actress, her artistry is truly incomparable!

She is singing in London on October 27th at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club !

Wishing you all the best for your Birthday!

Maureen McGovern sang some soprano roles early in her early musical theater career. Her coloratura in Pirates of Penzance was remakable. However she is cleary an alto with an impressive upper register/extension; but she certainly has sung on broadway and in touring productions in soprano keys. Listen to the audio in the "Pirates" link below!

Barbara Cook the greatest singing actress/soprano I have ever heard/seen. Additional favorite sopranos of mine: Susan Watson Rebecca Luker Kristin Chenoweth Judy Kaye (mezzo) June Bronhill (UK, Australia) Maureen McGovern (mezzo) Audra McDonald Jo Sullivan Christine Andreas

11/18/06 Carnegie Hall - Barbara Cook's encore of "Anyone Can Whistle" Barbara began ...but stopped because she thought her voice couldn't be heard off mike ,due to a recent throat infection. Of course those of us in attendence at Carnegie Hall could hear her perfectly. She starts again at ~1:30 into this video.

Barbara "responded" by singing incredibly beautifully, even for her, during their joint concert "In Alphabetical Order".

Barbara Cook in "Here's to Life" returns to Feinstein's June 18-20. I realize it comes very soon after her last appearance there and the cover is expensive...but every opportunity to see Ms. Cook in NY at an intimate venue is invaluable. This may be her greatest cabaret act ever...!

I was there both nights. Barbara gave thrilling and touching performances both nights.
