Does anyone know, where I could find a recording or a picture of her as Grizzi?

Wow, didn't know Lillias White played Grizabella.
I saw her as Effie in the revival of DREAMGIRLS.

In the book "Broadway Day and Night" there is a section where Lillias White talks about juggling shooting a role on Sesame Street, a rehearsal for Cats (Grizabella), and a performance of the show she was currently performing in all in the same day. I don't think there's a picture, though. I used to have the book and have no idea what happened to it. This thread just reminded me of it.

I saw Lilias White as Grizabella in '92. I still have the playbill and there is a small picture of her dressed as the character inside. From what I recall, it was not the fabulous Lilias White performace you'd expect. She was just starting out. In my opinion, she went too much for a soulful rendition, when what I want is sheer, diva, raise the roof belting! And we know she can belt!

I'm sure she would belt the crap out of her songs, it's just too bad that the show will still suck.

As Much as I love Lillas... the best Grizabella will always be in my heart, Laurie Beechman

anyone remember who was Griz Dec'94?
It was my first Broadway show and I've always wondered who was in the cast (we lost the Playbill looooong time ago)
