Came across this and thought I’d share... Judi Dench (and Sarah Brightman) in rehearsals for Cats back in 1981.  Anybody else come across any rarities of interest? |

^ A torn Achilles tendon, yes. She was to play both Grizabella and Jennyanydots.  |

Just imagine a world where EP didn't make Memory into 'her song' - the pain that we would have been spared... *ducks*
