In a funny, light-hearted and self-effacing conversation interspersed with the sensational show tunes she鈥檚 made famous, Elaine shares anecdotes and insights from major West End and Broadway productions she鈥檚 starred in, including 鈥楬air鈥�, 鈥楨vita鈥�, 鈥楥ats鈥�, 鈥楥hess鈥�, 鈥楶iaf鈥�, 鈥楢nything Goes鈥�, 鈥楽unset Boulevard鈥� and 鈥楩ollies鈥�. There are stories about meeting royalty, working with Queen and Stephen Sondheim, the challenge of remembering the lyrics of her signature song 鈥楳emory鈥�, and of coping with the instant fame that winning the much-coveted role of Eva Peron brought her. Elaine has shone a spotlight on thousands of different musicals on Radio 2 for over two decades, but now the tables are turned as she chats to Zoe about what it鈥檚 really like to be 鈥楾he First Lady of British Musical Theatre鈥�.
