i clicked on this cause i thought it said 'ellen' paige and i was like-what's Juno doing on broadway?

Wonderful. her eyes are worth a thousand words.

Elaine Paige was born to perform on the Broadway stage!!! She is one of the best to ever grace it. No..Susan Boyle is not an Elaine Paige but Susan, you have my respect and admiration for trying to be and living your dream! You made it.

@lite7761str In regards to "Follies", the thing is I really enjoyed her as Carlotta. She was a spitfire during the book scenes and I really enjoyed her performance. "I'm Still Here" was just a let down for me and, unfortunately, that song is Carlotta's big moment. I think part of the problem with the number was the way that it was staged. But they are doing nearly a month of previews, so it might change! lol I know you're going to love her and I look forward to seeing the show again. Cheers!

@siroakleigh98 I disagree as I believe it WAS a character choice, as I stated; but I'm glad you like her vocal. Sorry you didn't enjoy Elaine's acting in "Follies" in DC. I have tickets for the Broadway show and expect to find her just as enchanting as I know she is sure to be, as usual, IMO.

@lite7761str Whoa, calm yourself. Sunset Boulevard is one of my favorite movies and musicals. I have actually written dramaturgical analyses of both and I am well aware of what the character requires.
It would be different if it were a character choice, but I always feel that Elaine Paige overacts and it was confirmed when I watched her ham it up during "Follies" in DC. I am not denying that she has a huge fan base, but she is just not my bag. But, like I said, I very much enjoyed her vocal.

@siroakleigh98 She's an actress playiing a silent film star who overacts! She's supposed to overact. That's the character. Get it?!!
Elaine is fascinating to listen to AND watch. Pure class.

I love it....when I close my eyes. I can't stand watching her overact.



This is the best rendition of this song that I have EVER heard. It never fails to send chills down my spine. I wish I could've seen her do this live.

Permit me to paraphrase Lloyd Benson - Susan Boyle is no Elaine Paige - and never will be.
