Synopsis

Amazon.com
London's premier theater diva takes center stage in Encore, a career retrospective covering selections from Elaine Paige's most famous roles (Cats, Evita, and Chess), her 1993 salute to legendary chanteuse Edith Piaf, and West End hits Jesus Christ Superstar and Les Misérables. Released in 1995 around the time she took the role of Norma Desmond in London (which she eventually took to Broadway), the 53-minute album also includes three of Sunset Boulevard's biggest hits as well as two selections ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina") recorded live for BBC Radio in 1993. For those more used to Paige's brassier American counterparts, this is an excellent introduction. Fans, of course, will need no convincing to pick up this CD. --David Horiuchi

"Elaine Paige is a theatrical force to be enjoyed and she is at her vocal prime. The CD contains many of her greatest roles and it would be a great way for musical theatre buffs in the U.S.A. to get to know a London Musical Theatre legend."
