"(2) I would love to see the Normas of stars like Petula Clark--who are no longer big enough names to open a show on Broadway, but could, perhaps, sell tickets on the road."
Petula Clark will be 85 years old in November. I doubt she'd do it, and in any case it would be a bad idea. She appeared on the Olivier Awards telecast a couple of years ago to sing 'With One Look', and it was a somewhat distressing spectacle. She was a terrific singer in her prime (though - sorry - I saw her in London and thought she was a lousy Norma), but her voice is gone. |
