He was on the Christmas special, this was probably filmed at the same time as the series. He must be appearing again.

Prior to singing Memory for the caring nurse : “have you ever seen my Grizabella?”
Priceless !

Not too sure on her enuncuation during Memory. T'other half thought she was singing "If you touch me, you'll remember what a penis is" And did you? |

This is the moment was definitely not mimed. I suspected some of the show was as the sound levels sound different. This must be down to production as whenever I have seen Jane live her vocals are outstanding and never a duff note. She is more than capable of singing live. The end finale may well be mimed, but I can't remember now which songs appear to have been mimed. More live though than mimed. Jane is easily capable of belting out ‘This is the Moment’ live - I’ve heard her do it several times. However, I believe the last note is - and has always been since she started doing the song way back - click-tracked. When you hear it live, the sound is always subtly (but noticeably) different to the live vocals used for the rest of the song. |

Much as I adore her (and I do), I take slight issue with anyone miming and passing it off as live. She's been singing for 30 years and made her name with her voice, there's no excuse or reason for copping out. If you can't sing the song, don't sing the song. In this case, if she is capable of belting it live (which I believe she is), she should either do the whole thing live or sing something else.

In this case, if she is capable of belting it live (which I believe she is), she should either do the whole thing live or sing something else. Or even just shorten the note at the end. I’ve heard that done by several male performers of that song. It sounds just as effective tbh. Frank Wildhorn (the composer of ‘This is the Monent’) has something of a penchant for excessively-long notes in several of his songs. Many performers - including the fantastic Thomas Borchert who sang it in the Vienna production of Jekyll & Hyde - simply shorten the note. |

I was at the theatre tonight, so missed the show. I shall catch up tomorrow, but thank you for sharing that link theatremadness, I am all over booking tickets like a tramp over chips.
There is even a Harvester restaurant close by the studio where prawn cocktail, steak salad and chips followed by black forest gateaux can be had. Oh what a perfect night

The current series may be over, but don't forget we've got Jane's life story in the same slot next Friday night.

I was intrigued to learn recently that Jane's partner these days is Walter "Eddie" Rothe, the former drummer with Liquid Gold. You can see him in action in his prime here, demonstrating how to remain the centre of attention despite sitting at the back playing the drums

She’s big, she’s fab, she’s larger than life. But one thread is enough.
Merged and moved to Performers and Creatives.

Well, she's only gone and won a BAFTA for cruising.
I never managed that.
