Are there any more selections from this performance? I saw it many years ago on the ABC and it's impossible to buy anywhere ! Really Useful Group - we could use a DVD of this.
Gut-wrenching in how she is so vulnerable yet so strong as to be upfront about it. Can't even put it in words, it's just perfect music and lyrics combined. You just want to hold her. Never heard this song (despite being a huge ALW fan) until college and got chills.
The best version of this song (by a mile) is the Marti Webb version, with all due respect to Sarah, she can't hold a candle to Marti's more natural version. This sounds too flowery when simplicity is the best solution. In fact the whole album is expertly done.
Is this how it looked on stage? I love this song, and I really want to do it for my Musical Theatre class, but I don't know exactly how to act it out. If this is how it looked in stage, I'm all set. Oh, and Sarah Brightman rocks this song. It's truly gorgeous :)

Is this from the original production? I've never seen any production of the show, but I love this song. And, I have to say this is THE WORST interpretation I've ever heard. Halting and staccato. Her delivery is so jerky, you can never get into the mood of the piece.
There are elements of her interpretation I like, and in turn there I things I don't. I really wouldn't call this this WORST interp. of this piece though. :) Just different. Granted anything she did is better than what I've seen on Broadway in the past few years. Just my opinion though, no need to think I'm trying to be rude.
She's lip syncing....

@julu92 Yeah I agree, I love Sarah Brightman but she really does not portray this part at all.... Denis Van Outen's version is fantastic though (:

@mishunaccomeplished Have to agree ! Sarah's voice is too "wobbly" for my liking. Marti is just an all-round classy performer - the best !

Which 'character' is she supposed to be singing to in this song?

One of the best songs by Sarah I've seen. This is how good she can be when the song takes precedence.
Later in her career, not sure when it started, but her performances became more about her and her persona.
In this song I can really appreciate her beauty and amazing voice.

I wonder if Andrew or Sarah sits alone at night and watches this and think about all the times that had gone by.

Song and Dance has really hard music to interpret. I don't really like the way she sang this, but that's just me.

What's the story of this play?
She has really good voice quality, and I don't mind her interpretation, but I can understand why others dislike it.
