I listened to her singing "Raise the Roof" w/ Andrew Lippa on one of the cast party downloads and, damn, I love that woman's pipes. So come now everyone let's just appreciate her voice and pray that she gets a show in the near future!! So now, to make this post have a point ,which I suppose most people would appreciate....what has she done besides "The Wild Party?"

I've never seen her perform but she is coming to NC next weekend to star in Ragtime! I have heard great things about her.
I am very excited to see it!

I seriously thought your post said

"I saw her in bryant park she sang with a chest of hair."

I was about pee on myself.

The only time I've seen her perform live was at the Lincoln Center LaChiusa concert. Otherwise, I live by my Wild Party CD. Simply...DAMN! She's absolutely great, but she only does things she wants to, which is why she doesn't do too much. She's very strong-willed, and doesn't have to perform in anything she doesn't like....which is a lot of stuff. To each her own. For now, we have the music if not the performances...

Julia Murney is beyond incredible. She has a gorgeous voice and a range that just doesn't end. She's been criticized for having a "machine gun vibretto" but I never really mind. I think it's part of her style. Also, if you listen to some of the tracks from "Piece" her vibretto has really evened out beautifully.

I saw her in Broadway By The Year: 1963 with Euan and OMG SHE IS SOOOOOO GOOOD!!

I praised her to no end and she's just very real. She was in a classy dress and carried a large backpack. She didn't care if it looked silly, she's not all "I'm high class cause I'm on Broadway"
I've never met anyone quite like her and I love her for it!!

Also people tell me I have a striking resemblence to her but I can't tell her that cause then there's a bright sign above my head that says "STALKER!"

She somehow manages to simultaneously be very down-to-earth and incredibly classy. She's just amazing.

I saw her in "Wild Party" and "A Class Act" and have hung out with her a few times over the years -- smart, sweet, very funny, a blast to be around, and outrageously gifted. Can't wait till she gets "The Role" that makes her a major star -- she so deserves it.

She's on the short list of people who have a following because they are ridiculously talented, yet need to become a household name. Or as household a name you can become.

Words can NOT describe.

I somehow always manage to be drunk off my ass in her presence. I also somehow always manage to scream out "JULIA *BLEEPING* MURNEY!!!!!" in her presence. I also somehow always manage to get star struck in her presence.

The woman must think I'm a mental case ('think' being the operative word... more like 'knows'). I saw her hailing a cab up by me a few weeks ago... I can only imagine what was going through her mind.

Moral of this story, kiddies?

Well... there is none. But!!! I want to be Julia F-ing Murney when I grow up!!!!!!!!

Same goes for me....

When I first met her, I complimented her singing on the Wild Party by saying "I've been listening to the Wild Party incessantly". Not the right word, that's for sure. She thinks I'm a stalker now.
