This recording is NOTHING compared to hearing her sing this song live. It was one of the most goosebump enducing moments in my long theater-going career. When she sang that final "Touch ne.." it was as if every seat in the theater was wired! About 2,000 people all jumped at once. Incredible!
Oh - I SOOOooo agree - although this is great, it is nothing compared to her live... it was truly amazing seeing her live. It was like a bolt of electricity that left one completely jaw-droppingly awe-struck!
She was also the original narrator for the original broadway cast of 'Joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat' back in 82. Amazing voice I saw her sing this with the touring company of 'Cat's in Boston.
She was Fantine - she did it on Bway when the show was still at the Broadway Theatre (not the Imperial, it hadn't moved there yet) - from January 1990 to July 1990. Then she did the show in Philly on the tour in like 1997 or so... she also did the tour in 91 I believe. She was slated to do the tour in late 88/early 89 but that's when she became ill with cancer for her first bout and had to bow out of the show during rehearsals.

Sie singt es gut. Nicht [berragend, aber wirklich gut.

Da hast du Recht. Sie war die, die am längsten Grizabella gespielt hat. Über 4 Jahre lang
Leider ist sie schon gestorben :(

There's now a small cabaret theatre on 42nd street just off Times Square named after her - the "Laurie Beechman Theatre."
