She did record a few songs from it on one of her albums. Maybe Encore or something? Yup Encore - With One Look, As If… & Perfect Year. All great versions with full orchestration. I love that most of the Normas got to record at least three songs - even Pet Clark. I have most of them, including the German cast recording with a scary Helen Schneider. Elaine also recorded "Surrender" on her album in the 2000's. But not with the original orchestration. |

Where are these... unorthodox lyrics for AIWNSG coming from? Those are from when Barbara Streisand butchered them for one of her out of retirement tours Rewritten by Don Black though, I understand... |

That's right I have the encore cd, I'd forgotten that. Although I still wish the whole thing had been recorded. Its sad Elaine never really got a big swan song role. She's unlikely to do a musical again. Drowsy flopped and Follies didn't seem to get that much attention.

I think Elaine’s voice has pretty much packed in hasn’t it? Last time I heard her - I think it was promo for her “top up the pension” tour she was really honking it out, and soooo nasal.

Why does everything in that message fill me with dread? Why does everything have to be “reimagined”?! |

Bets are on:
A: Told from Norma's cell, with the police officers flickering in Norma's addled perception, sometimes seen as Joe and Max. Sensational moment when 'Joe' and 'Max' actors duet on 'Too Much In Love To Care'. The Baritone-with-Tenor-range version of Betty you never knew you needed, til now.
B: From the point of view of the chimp

Why is everything either reimagined, or gender swapped?

Nicole Scherzinger was shoved under our noses out of the blue the other weekend wasn’t she… It’s only taken 7 years but I finally called one correctly! My next correct prediction: 2030 |

Will the set consist of a giant staircase with the name Norma, spelled at the top?

I have never heard of NS. For me a star is someone who most people can recognise, specially regular theatre goers. Jamie Lloyd I know, and like sometimes.

Why is everything either reimagined, or gender swapped? it's compulsory, post COVID!  I'm certainly not AGAINST it, but I do have issues with certain aspects of producers and directors flights of fancy... |

This sound like a wild car crash of a production. Count me in!

With respect, it is probably aimed at people who have. Unless one lived on a diet exclusively of Radio 3 & 4 and BBC 4 over the last ten years, and read only broadsheet newspapers (throwing the supplements away unopened) I struggle to see how one would not be aware of NS or at least the PCD? Or am I just very lowest common denominator? |
