Interested to hear Elaine Paige interview Connie Fisher. It seems to be a new feature, where the interviewee gets to choose 3 of their favourite tracks. However the intro and outro of the segment wer very poorly edited. On the outro they even had Deadly do a voiceover to add some bits of info which had been missed at the original recording.

Who is editing this stuff? Steve Wright??? Rolling Eyes

I noticed that there seemed to be a gap between some questions and answers as if they were edited (badly) together, I'll have to listen again.

It was kind of obvious that the interview was recorded at a different time to when the main show was recorded, but I would have thought that the main show is recorded quite close to transmission as they do a regular competition.

However if the questions and answers were recorded seperately that would add a new dimension to things. Are things really that fraught in the world of musical theatre that Paige & Fisher cant be in the same stdio at the same time? Shocked

Besides, hasn't Connie (mime artist) Fisher been on a sicky for a few weeks now?

She's back again now. Apparently there was a bit of contoversy about the show playing a tape of her singing some of the high notes because her voice wasnt up to it when she first came back.

Most of what me and Mrs PJ heard when we went was a recording.

She sang live twice during the performance... and blew out both times Evil or Very Mad

Lesley Garrett gave her a master-class in singing that night- WOW what a voice!

She's been using an earpiece click-track feed (as we call it in rabbit-land) at the insistence of Andrew Lloyd Webber, who has been concerned that 8 performances a week are taking their toll on her voice.
