I agree she is the best. As much as I loved Betty Buckley and the other Grisabellas I adore Elain Paige. What is really funny, is she was orginally the understudy for the part but the original actress got injured and was unable to do it.
I'm being pedantic here, but she wasn't the understudy. Judi Dench injured her Achilles Tendon in rehearsals and was beginning to recover when she fell off the stage whilst in plaster. Since Elaine wasn't in a show at that point, they took her out for a meal to persuade her to take on the role. She agreed because she loved the song.
The Jellicle Ball is at the end of the first act and Grizabella sings a short version of Memory. She then returns to sing the full song as the penultimate scene.
the one thing this woman dosent lack is emotion xxx

i wouldn't want susan in this role because it requires emotion.

If they ever did a revival of cats and elaine paige and betty buckley couldn't play Grizzabella I would want to see Susan Boyle play this role.

Susan Paige recommended this singer. She is fantastic. This is a favorite song from Cats.

She did not "RECOMMEND" this singer; She isn't fit to do that.
Susan Boyle named Elaine Paige as her IDOL.

it's after the jellicle dance I think, since she is "trying to do" some of the jellicle dance steps.

Isnt the Jellicle dance early in the show? Memory happens towards the end. Her intro is Grizabella the glamor cat.

I believe this is when she sings memory in act one, sort of her intro. Elaine as usual is fantastic!
