I've never actually ever seen this, only the Sarah Brightman version on VHS, many years ago.

Nothing new under the sun. ALW leading lady armed with a can of spray paint. No not BadCindy, but Marti Webb during the titles for Tell Me On A Sunday. (Watching it again there's humour and wit, subtlety,variety and delicacy and a huge range of emotions totally missing from all the bombastic beltiness of his recent offerings.)

Watching now. Not entirely sure if it was sung live or mimed?!

Remember going to buy this from the record shop in Stockton Heath aged 7. I wasn’t taken with the waistcoat but loved TTLOYF…the album as a whole took some time to like. Several high points made it worthwhile but its not classic LW is it?

Watching now. Not entirely sure if it was sung live or mimed?! Lloyd Webber says it was live at the start for what it's worth, and it's different from the version released on record. |

I had never heard the full Marti Webb version before watching this.
I think I still prefer the Brightman Song and Dance version of the score. But then that is the cassette and video I had.
Any version without Unexpected Song isn't right!
It was good to see it on TV. It is still a show for which I have a lot of time.

Just watching now. On the first track at least, Webb is singing live but with pre-recorded backing singers who are her as well I think. |

Just watched the recording from Thursday. Marti was (and is) a class act. This was long before I became an ALW fan, but it was this kind of thing that intrigued me about him - all the varied works, not just blockbuster West End shows. I wish he’d continued that way.
I saw Marti take over from Denise van Outen in the revised version, then again at the Other Palace (St James?) years later. That was a surreal night when Marti reached down from the stage and took my hands at the end of the show.

I had always wanted to see marti live and finally got the chance just after covid when theatre opened social distancing…. It was a wonderful evening She looked so nervous as she walked on and even said my first live show in over 18months I’m scared … so much love for her was only about 60 in the audience… some songs were fab some not so her voice cracked on quite a few and missed the money note on 2 songs from this show and she visibly winced looked very upset with herself and then mouthed sorry … we were just willing her on we didn’t care it was Marti Webb ! Her stories and anecdotes were very interesting too
