Film and Theatre Lover!
Most well known for her role as Mrs Banks in Mary Poppins, Glynis Johns was an incredible actress of both stage and screen. The song Send in the Clowns, was written for her by Stephen Sondheim.
She passed away at the age of 100! Having reached that incredible milestone in October 2023.
Rest in Peace Glynis ❤️
Continue reading “RIP Glynis Johns”I am still rather happy about seeing Dame Angela on stage on Wednesday afternoon so decided on a 7 things blog post with different songs she has song over the years, from both film and stage performances!
Beauty and the Beast
We all know that Catherine Zeta Jones won an Oscar for her role as Velma Kelly in Chicago and the big number is All That Jazz, she has appeared on Broadway and won a Tony Award so I decided to do a little 7 Things list and find 7 songs Catherine Zeta Jones has sung. Some you probably have heard, others you might not have known about. She also released some songs in the UK years and years ago now before she became a Hollywood star!
With my major lack of updates over the past few months, I missed posting about one of my favorite actresses who has taken Broadway by storm with her debut in A Little Night Music. Which she won the Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical. She also performed Send in the Clowns that night and she really is a very talented performer.
I have been a huge fan of Catherine from the first time I saw her sing “All That Jazz” from “Chicago” the movie musical in which she won her Oscar for. Just a shame I came home from the USA a month or so before Catherine made her debut as I would have made sure I went to see her on the stage. Lets hope that she signs up for another movie musical or even makes her way back to where it all began on the West End stage!
I love her reaction when she found out that she won the award, total classic moment. Looks like she was trying to get Michael to go onto the stage with her!
