Did Elaine Page ever return to B'way?

I know Elaine Page made her Broadway debut in September 1996 replacing Betty Buckley in 'Sunset Boulevard' which ran for an additional three months. I don't think there was much 'fanfare' over her debut, even though she is highly-adored on the West End.

Has Page ever returned to Broadway since Sunset's closing? Was she well-received by critics and theater-goers in 1996?

Also you might want to correct the spelling as it is Paige. :)

Not Broadway, but in between "Sunset" and "Follies" Elaine Paige played Mrs. Lovett in "Sweeney Todd" for New York City Opera.

I'll always wish that she would have come over with Piaf.

I've never seen Paige live - just on Youtube and own a few of her CDs (love 'Piaf!). That said - I'm disappointed 'Piaf' never transferred to B'way. And yes - I could see her as DOLLY, but is she a name to bring in box office sales? She didn't do it for 'Sunset Boulevard'.

You know? She'd make a good Dolly!

If they mount the current revival in the West End, they should definitely use her.

She actually did a quick hop, skip and jump of a tour across the USA in late February and March 2013. I think she performed mostly in cabaret spaces with just a pianist accompanying her.

I was lucky enough to catch her concert in Pittsburgh. If I recall correctly, the evening was almost entirely hit songs from musicals she'd been in. Exactly what the audience wanted to hear. She was in excellent shape vocally, and signed copies of her memoir afterwards.

I was thrilled, since that was probably the only chance I'll have to see her perform in-person.
