The first one I'd say would definitely be Jane Ohringer from "Evita". She never had anything else after that, but her voice has CAPTIVATED me from the first time I heard her "Another Suitcase In Another Hall". She had a beautiful voice. Somebody hire her again.

And it doesn't look like we'll be seeing very much of Jill Paice in the near future.

I was JUST thinking of Pamela Myers! (as I have heard both Lunch and Snoopy in the past 24 hours)

Agree most with
Dolores Gray and Pam Myers and add
Karen Morrow.

Pam Myers put a CD out a few years ago -- about the time when she was back on Broadway in Into the Woods. Love her.

Whatever happened to Merle Louise, speaking of Sondheim's babies?

Love Merle! Did a quick search and found nothing after Kiss of the Spider Woman...didnt realize that she won the Drama Desk for her Beggar Woman, tho...cool! Never understood why she didnt get a Tony nom, or Ken Jennings.

I was so disheartened when I saw the revival of ITW and Pam was UNDERSTUDY for Jack's mother...Marylouise Burke gave the single worst performance I've ever seen on a bway stage, and my Pammy was left to play Cinderella's mom...

Pam would have been a fabulous Jack's mom. Then they could have brought in Joy Franz (as they did later), brought back Edmund Lyndeck and it would have been my Sondheim baby fantasy come true.

Pam was the heart of the Reunion concerts of Company (I got to see it in NY.) She looked and sounded AMAZING! That was over 10 years ago, i know...but I cried for her and Donna doing Tick Tock. Pam needs to get back on stage!

I dont think she is forgotten, but Laurie Beechman should be mentioned on this thread.

I saw Karen Morrow in the Boston production of White Christmas where she didn't have a whole lot to sing and my family saw her in concert. She's really good, I didn't know about her till recently.

Dean: Can I tell you something? Lorraine: That depends on what it is. Dean: I think you're really really pretty. Lorraine: (after a pause) Ok, you can tell me that.

Thank you doodlenyc for mentioning Laur. She is missed terribly.

Another one is Ellen Greene. I would love to see her back on the boads again! And I also loved Bellamy Young from THE LIFE. I always wonder what happened to her.

Melba Moore.

Heather McCrae from Falsettoland. What a GREAT voice.

I also whole heartedly agree with Alison Fraser.
That woman's voice.

Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

Calvin (or anyone else who knows)- What is Pamela Myers' solo CD like? I recognize more than half of the songs, but what musicals do the others come from? Is it a good listen?

David Carroll -- a very talented performer with a beautiful voice. It is a shame he is still not with us.

I think it's a great listen, but I'm a fan, so I'm biased.

Yes, people like D. Jamin Bartlett and Jane Ohringer have been famous for ONE THING, and then they just DISAPPEARED.

It's so weird.

I LOVE Jane Ohringer's "Another Suitcase in Another Hall". I can't believe she hasn't done anything else.

I also think Steve Martin can't hold a candle to the original Orin, Franc Luz. I've never heard his name anywhere else, though.

I know it hasn't been that long, but can someone call Betty Buckley? Anyone? Get this woman back on Broadway.

No one is alone.
