For fans of Song & Dance / Tell Me On A Sunday, the live performance of it that was televised is finally being reissued on CD. (It was previously available on cassette, not sure about LP.)

No word on whether they'll issue a DVD of the performance yet. Amusingly, it's not even mentioned on the RUG website.

Maybe I should get it - S&D is my favourite non TR ALW show.

Which one would you get? I prefer Marti Webb's singing etc because she has huge amounts of talent. Sarah Brightman's voice grates on me but I still like her version because I like some of the lyrics better.

I really must write my own (gay) version

The Sarah Brightmman one. I already have the double Marti Webb one.

Same here. Although it's been reissued as a remastered recording, I can't be bothered spending out on it. I doubt it's much better.

I bought it in the end. It's good. Nice booklets with it, a libretto and a photo booklet.

Interestingly enough, I believe there was a gay production of Tell Me on a Sunday (with a man performing the show) a few years back and I'm sure there must have been others at some point in time. I remember reading reviews and it seemed to have quite a good reception. At the time, I wanted to have a look at the show and consider whether or not it was a feasible reading of the show but I never got around to it. What do people here think of the concept of a gay production of Tell Me on a Sunday? Would it work? And would the principle work for each of the updated version too?

This is great news. I've honestly never heard the Sarah Brightman version, but I love the Bernadette Peters recording.

Anything has to be better than the godawful revival recording with Denise Van Outen.
