    WOW!!! This was so incredible! One of the best musicals ever!!! And this duet is beautiful! The ladies really nailed it!! I was lucky to see this in London around 1986 (or may have been earlier 1985?). I still think it's a musical in the top -3. together with Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables (and maybe Cats). For some reason this musical was never really set up in the same way later. I saw some other tour versions of it, but the London version was the best. It should have been all recorded on video and available.

      I'm disappointed to hear this but from other things I've read and heard about Elaine, not entirely surprised. She is known to be a diva about her voice, making demands in hotels for how the air conditioning should be, and never going anywhere without a scarf round her throat to 'protect' her vocal chords, refusing to be anywhere where people are smoking. Given the very high praise Andrew Lloyd Webber has given her it's easy to imagine that it went to her head.

      You're not making much sense. Vibrato is 'a rapidly repeated slight change in the pitch of a musical note'. Barbara Dickson is also classed as a mezzo. Of course one can compare the vocal abilities of Dickson and Paige and quite simply Dickson is the more gifted singer
