Zoe Ball Meets Elaine Paige

Available for 15 days

In celebration of Elaine’s 60 years in showbusiness, she joins Zoe Ball for a glittering interview about her unparalleled and varied career. In a funny, light-hearted and self-effacing conversation interspersed with the sensational show tunes she’s made famous, Elaine shares anecdotes and insights from major West End and Broadway productions she’s starred in, including ‘Hair’, ‘Evita’, ‘Cats’, ‘Chess’, ‘Piaf’, ‘Anything Goes’, ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘Follies’. There are stories about meeting royalty, working with Queen and Stephen Sondheim, the challenge of remembering the lyrics of her signature song ‘Memory’, 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’s really like to be ‘The First Lady of British Musical Theatre’.
