Feeding my Rachel York obsession...

Posted: 8/1/06 at 1:30am

Alright, before I start, if this is better suited for the Off-Topic board, feel free to move it. I wasn't really sure where to put this.

So today, I was bored, and began searching around Wikipedia, surprised to find that there was NO page for the amazingly wonderful, beautiful, and ridiculously talented Rachel York. Well needless to say, I immediately created an article and spent most of the day today editing, adding pictures, and pretty much trying my best to make it perfect. I think this is enough evidence to prove that I really do have no life at all.

Anyways, I would really appreciate it if you could check it out, edit wrong info, add some things, whatever. There are still some things I'd like to add, though.

(Yes, I did write the whole thing by my self, with her official website and a few other sources as a guide)

The entire page looks absolutely fabulous! Nice job. Anyway two very minor things I noticed are:

1) "She also has many credits in television, which include appearing on Reba, Frasier, Arli$$, Spin City, The Naked Truth..."

this is very nitpicky but I think it would sound better to say

"including appearences on Reba, Frasier.."

2) "Rachel released her debut album in early 2005, Let's Fall In Love, and was..."

I think it would sound better to say:

"Rachel released her debut album, Let's Fall In Love, in early 2005..."


>> Anyway these two points are so incredibly minor, the editor in me just has to find something to comment on :)

(As a side note I was lucky enough to see Racehl during her run in DRS and she is an incredibly talented performer)

Thanks for the edits, I'll change them right now!
I saw her in DRS in May, and that's where this whole obsession came from..
Gah, she's so amazing.
Thanks again!

I agree on the amazing thing. I'm a hardcore Sherie fan so I went in wondering if I could ever appreciate someone else in the role- but Rachel was sooo funny and she's got a beautiful voice to boot. I still laugh when I think of:
"My grandma sent me one just like this from Omish country...except it was a pretzel."

That's great. Rachel deserves her own page. Did you guys watch her in Victor/Victoria along Julie Andrews? The DVD is available as well as Kiss Me, Kate.

Did you see her in The Sound of Music? That was Rachel at her best.

You can hear Rachel on BWW Radio. On the recording "Lyrics by Leipart" Rachel sings "When The Camera Isn't There" by Charles Leipart (words) and Bill Goldstein (music) from their upcoming musical LADY ON A CAROUSEL.

Hey, Yero,

The page looks great. It must have taken a lot of time to do it. I'm impressed. I think you now officially have taken the crown as Rachel's biggest fan.

Look for a PM from me.

loveclassics- I sent you a PM back, thanks for the help!
muscle- Yep, I saw it. I should add that to the page as well. She was HILARIOUS in it.

Thanks again for all the help and everything!

EDIT: Pictures have been deleted, just for now. I'll be adding new ones soon!

Nofe air LC :-P Can the 3 of us share a title?

Court...that's what made me fall in love with her as an actress. To see her live in Dessa Rose and Ragtime, then to see a legal tape of her in V/V(sooo robbed of a Tony)...watch her give an amazing rendition of Maybe This Time in a K&E concert, the Kiss Me Kate DVD, DRS...to me, look up "versatile" and you'll find her picture.

Aw, wrq. Didn't mean to steal your crown and pass it along without your consent. I'm okay with sharing. What title did you have in mind?

How about "The Rachel York Triple Threat" - because she is, and so are we if anyone dares to dis her!

very cool page. i love Rachel!

This girl never sleeps! Hot on the heels of last weekend's "The Sound of Music" at the Hollywood Bowl, Rachel's next show is "My One and Only" at Reprise! in LA from Sept. 5-17. That Gershwin score will sound magnificent with Rachel singing her heart out. And this time she gets to show off her dancing, too.

I'm thinking I could use a vacation right around that time. Yero, WRQ, are you with me?

Psssh.. I wish.

Ditto. Meh.

I saw the headline and was like she's gonna be in something? Maybe she secretly came back? Please don't be LA...ulgh.

I know. LA is a long way from B'way. Too bad Fung Wah doesn't operate a cheap airline.
