From what I've read here, she doesn't come out after matinees...did you go to a mat or evening shows?

Evening, both times. The first time, she may have come out and I had already left, which is possible, but the second time we asked the guy and he said she wasn't coming out and I still waited a bit and she didn't come out. I was the last person to leave. It's not a big deal or anything, but I just wanted to tell her how great I think she it.

Hmmm...that's too bad. I wonder why she doesn't come out?

It WAS cold both times, and last Saturday it was FREEZING. That might have something to do with it. Oh well, if I ever see her on the street (yeah right!like that's gonna happen) I will compliment her.

That makes sense. You could write her a letter though...

But she must come out! She doesn't actually live in the theatre, does she?!

Maureen is actually not a real person but a magical being created by the gods of theater to reward us - don't ask for what, that's theirs to know and never to reveal. She doesn't need to sleep, eat, eliminate bodily waste, etc. She only appears each night onstage for the glory of Broadway. And oh, how much better are we for it...

Great song - I've rediscovered it now - isn't the intro fabulous?

It brings back memories of the seeing the Poseidon Adventure as a kid on TV – probably 1975. I do not recall the intro.

Rath - have you heard the Alan and Marilyn Bergman song that Maureen does called "On My Way to You"? = it is one of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear - and a lot of cabaret performers have started doing it the past few years - but it's gorgeous.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Posted: 2/24/05 at 9:51am

I haven't - and I have a cd of her performing just Bergman songs - for some reason it's not on there...

Speaking of that cd, though, the first time I listened was on the subway, and one of the numbers is It Might Be You, a song I've always loved and listened to by other artists a million times. Well, listening to Maureen do it, my eyes filled with tears, which has never happened upon any other hearing of that song. What is it about her? What does she have?

On My Way To You is a great song - also sung by Streisand on her cd Till I Loved You.

Maureen certainly has a way with phrasing a lyric - and her voice can't be matched on certain levels - You've chosen a wonderful role model (and future wife)...lol...
