If I saw Little Women, I think I would tear up when Ms. McGovern sang Days of Plenty. Watch the video below...there is a clip of her singing the song with Jo (Sutton) sitting there. It is beautiful.
This thread can be dedicated to Maureen and how wonderful she is!

Thanks for the clip!

Posted: 1/25/05 at 8:10pmI freakin' LOVE her. She was the best part about that show...sorry Sutton fans. She didn't make me cry (that award goes to the song, "Somethings Are Meant To Be") but I felt emotional when she sang the song about her husband and after Beth died. And she is so sweet. Love her!!!!!

Posted: 1/25/05 at 8:12pmShe's amazing, I love her. I wish she would come out after matinees, there was so much I wanted to say!

Posted: 1/25/05 at 8:14pmWhen they were doing previews in NC I had a chance to see her after the show and she signed my program. She was the sweetest and I felt so sorry for her when Sutton came out!

She didn't come out when I stagedoored in NC. 
But Janet Carrol came out and she was soooo nice. I agree though, Maureen is wonderful!

Posted: 1/25/05 at 9:14pmI agree. Her "Days of Plenty" was one of the best and most emotional parts of the entire show. I admit, the tears were flowing on that part. She's fabulous!

When I was a kid, she was known as the Queen of the Disaster Movie Themes. She sang the gorgeous theme songs to The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, and Superman. I always loved her rich tone and poignant style. I haven't really thought about her in years, almost went to see her cabaret act here a few months ago, but it was $50 cover so when I couldn't find someone to go with me, I skipped it.
Having now seen LITTLE WOMEN, I'd give anything to go back in time. I'd pay $100 for an evening of nothing but her singing now.

Posted: 1/25/05 at 9:25pmRath, do you have any of her cds?
#11re: Maureen McGovern...AMAZING
Posted: 1/25/05 at 9:27pmNo, but I'm about to start a collection! I've been looking over at Amazon.

Posted: 1/25/05 at 9:27pmWow, I just remembered that Maureen was out the night I stagedoored. No wonder she didn't come out! But she also didn't come out when I saw it in New York, which was sad.

Posted: 1/25/05 at 9:29pmMy friend with whom I saw the show on Thursday knows her, so I got to meet her in her dressing room. Lucky me! Those eyes...

As ND would say "Lucky!" 
I was at Barnes & Noble about a month ago just looking around the music section and I found a marker that said "Maureen McGovern" and I said NO WAY!!!! They had about four of her cds and they were CHEAP. I would have bought it too if I had any money with me.

There was the time to ask her out for a drink! LOL. I bet her dressing room is decorated beautifully.

I love that song from Poseidon Adventure, not to mention I freaking love that movie (which is weird I know).
I can't wait to see Little Women. Do you think the cast is going to stay intact by the time I get in there; around May/June???

Damn lesbians...lol...LOVE YA!
Those eyes are pretty wonderful, but I would have stolen something from her dressing room if I were you...
#20re: Maureen McGovern...AMAZING
Posted: 1/25/05 at 10:23pmThere was only one thing I wanted to steal from that dressing room.

BTW---Just watched that clip, and I started tearing up. That was a beautiful song. Can't wait for the cast recording!
Rath, when let's go see it in the spring, and you can ask her out?
#22re: Maureen McGovern...AMAZING
Posted: 1/25/05 at 10:32pmLF, I could barely speak to her when we met. I don't think I could ask her out. I have not had such a physical starstruck reaction to anyone in almost 20 years.
#23re: Maureen McGovern...AMAZING
Posted: 1/25/05 at 10:33pmYou have about 4-5 months to work up the courage. She is absolutely beautiful and extremely talented. I am definitely waiting to get her John Hancock...
#24re: Maureen McGovern...AMAZING
Posted: 1/25/05 at 10:35pmNo, I wouldn't want her to recognize me from my idiotic performance the other night. Hopefully she and I will never be in the same room again!
