I didn't realize that a Dutch Tour of Sunset was in the works for 2009. Well, she is a nice enough singer. But, she should take another look at the lyrics. There were a number of individual words that were substituted. Also, at the end, she left out: "We taught the world...new ways...to.. dream." from RC in Austin, Texas

...at the end, she left out: "We taught the world...new ways...to.. dream."

I kind of like it that way. That moment, when sung at the end of the song, always struck me as anticlimactic.

Oh how I wish I could go to the Netherlands to see Simone Kleinsma in this production! It's happening NOW.

What the hell is she wearing? Looks like a towel and a shiny bath robe. I really like that ending for the song though. I've always hated the little "New Ways to Dream" reprise that gets tacked on.

She is the first actress in the role who has impressed me since Elaine Paige.

Also, I like the energy of the Dutch cast. So tempting to fly to the Netherlands this summer. I've been meaning to go back for years.

Kathryn Evans is giving a masterful performance in the role right now in the London production. If you're going to be in London any time soon, don't miss her.

I prefer Pia Douwes. She sounds great on the bonus tracks on the cast album.

Oh my goodness!

Simone's concert version ROCKS!

Thanks so much for sharing! I must confess I have never heard of Her before today either...and that makes me sad!
