Literally looking frightenly good in those pictures - there's a great musical there somewhere waiting for some writer and producer to note how many Nancy's have done vampire roles, or would be really good in them.......
There's also a long discussion with Sting and Rachel about the musical, the problems selling it, and Rachel's career, IDA and her ambitions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9UPTKE-nWo
Back from Broadway was really good - lots of US themes, songs from her past, 2 songs from the Last Ship, a duet with her sister, and a mashup from Wicked. She even sang Bojangles - that well known killer of contestants on the ALW shows. How she managed to keep the power going for 2 i hour sets, and then did it again this evening is amazing. Hopefully the fans will have been filming for youtube?
Rachel is well up and running as in Communicating doors. Its very funny , even more so when Imogen Stubbs accidentally shot Rachel with a champagne cork.
Rachel seems to be thriving on Broadway - she's added back all her London specials and added some more - in American too The 19/11 ones are epic. - with really good sound.
