| Michael Winner |
This is a terrific show. I mean it's
my favourite Andrew Lloyd Webber. It's a wonderful ??? story, it worked
terrificly. The understudies are a triumph. I was really delighted. |
| Michael Parkinson |
Superb. The first act was wonderful.
The second one probably not as good, but I love it. |
| Desmond Wilcox |
Wonderful. I cried. |
| Clive Hirschhorn |
Well I think it's much ado about very
little, actually. It has one good tune in the first half, a half a good
tune in the second half and there is no stars. What the show really needs
is a big star. |
| Cathy is asking Mary and
Jeffrey Archer |
| Cathy |
What do you think of Michael Ball? |
| Mary |
He is the young chap? |
| Cathy |
Yes! |
| Mary |
What an actor. Wonderful. |
| Jeffrey |
Brilliant. |
| Mary |
Excellent, wonderful. |
| Jeffrey |
He'll go far. I mean he may not have
been yesterday, but he is today. |
| Cathy |
For your next production, maybe? |
| Jeffrey |
Well, he is fantastic. |
| |
|
| Sarah Brightman |
I had a great time. I mean it's hard
for me, because, you know usually I'm performing on the stage and being
that part of thing, but actually I'm sitting in the audience. I had a wonderful
time. |
Cathy visits Michael in
his dressing room after the show, to congratulate him. Both smiling all
over their faces. The dressing roomis full of guests (family, friends a.
s. o.) and Michael is still in his bathrobe. |
| Cathy |
Oh, wonderful. Was fabulous. |
| They are hugging and
kissing and he holds her in his arms all the time. |
| Michael |
This is nice, isn't it? My...What a thing! What is this? I'm gong to have to show the world this
(laughing) |
| He looks down, but Cathy interrupts before he shows whatever it is |
| Cathy |
What was it like? |
| Michael |
I can't think, my brain's gone. It was wonderful,terrific. The most terrifying moment when I did the opening chorus of Love Changes Everything. |
| Cathy |
No. |
| Michael |
It was wonderful, terrific. The most
terrifying moment, when I was the only one during Love Changes Everything |
| Cathy |
Why. |
| Michael |
(singing) Love, love changes
everything. Terrifying |
| Michael welcomes and
introduces Trevor Nunn, his sister and brother. |
| Michael |
My little sister. |
| Kathryn |
Watch it. |
| Michael |
My sister, my friend
Aileen, my brother |
Transition. Michael and
Cathy together are driven in a limousine to the premiere party. |
| Michael (talking to people outside) |
Bye, thank you all for coming. See ya. |
| Cathy |
What a great night. |
| Michael |
To all. (turning to Cathy beside him)
First of all Cathy.. |
| Cathy |
Yes. |
| Michael |
It's for the bet. (Handing her a coin). Well, someone's got to pay for this.
(Gesturing at the driver) |
| Cathy |
Oh my bet! He's a true gentleman, he
pays a debt. |
| Michael |
That's the bet. |
| Cathy |
This is the bet, that everyone as you
remember, that I bet him and I gave him the bet that the record was going
to the Top Thir ... |
| Michael |
... Top Ten. |
| Cathy |
... Top Ten. And it did. |
| Michael |
And I didn't believe it. |
| Cathy |
?? that you faced it. It's a long time since we first met |
| Michael |
Isn't it just? |
| Cathy |
Yes it is. Yeah. |
| Michael |
(overlapping) yes! Gotta be ... years
ago. |
| Cathy |
????? |
| Michael |
God, it seems years ago, so much has
happened. So much has ha.. |
| Cathy |
Come on, sing it: (singing) Lifetime (Both
start to laugh) |
| Michael |
So much has happend. A bit life
altering. |
| Cathy |
Yeah. |
| Michael |
It really has. I would love to go out
on the beach and have a little walk on the beach. It would be wonderful. |
| Cathy |
Hear that everyone. |
| Michael |
Oh my. Get back to some sort of
normalita. (running his fingers through his hair). This is really weird Cathy
(grabbing
her arm and hiding his head on her shoulder), really weird. |
| Cathy |
Well I think we're nearly arrived at
your party. |
| Michael |
Can't wait to see my fans. (laughing)
And I've forgotten my invitation. I hope they will let me in. |
| Cathy |
I know. I see if I can get you in,
shall I? |
| Michael |
I couldn't. Could you use your
influence? |
| Cathy |
I'm trying to get you in. |
They arrive at the party
and Cathy is talking to Andrew Lloyd Webber and later on to his little son. |
| ALW |
The show came through tonight. |
| Cathy |
Wonderful. It's absolutely brilliant. |
| ALW |
I think we're coming to this. I think
we kinda did it here. |
| Cathy |
(addressing his son) What did you
think? What did you think about it? |
| Son |
I think it's great! |
| Cathy |
You do? What did you prefer? |
| Son |
I'm not quite sure really. |
| Cathy |
The singing? |
| ALW |
Come on. What's the singing. Come on,
the music. |
| Son |
The music was best, Daddy, of course! |
| ALW |
Absolutely |
| Cathy |
Did you stand up and cheer? |
| Son |
Yes, yes.´course I did |
| Cathy |
Did you? He's great, isn't he? |
| Son |
Yeah! |
| Cathy |
What other show do you like that he
has done? |
| Son |
Hm, everything really! |
| Cathy |
Yeah? |
| Son |
Yeah. |
| ALW |
Go on: Oklahoma, Carousel, The King
and I, the other show that I have written. |
The end of the video clip
of "Love Changes Everything". Afterwards we are back in the
studio and Cathy is talking with the co-presenter about the show. Finally
Cathy is back at the studio to talk a bit with Guy Michelmore about the
opening.
|
| Guy Michelmore |
Very nice. A spectacular night out that
looked. |
| Cathy |
It was fabulous, Guy. Absolutely wonderful. He's got such a great family, spending the day with them and the excitement of the build up, and he's so nice and natural. |
| Guy |
It has to be said, though, the papers gave it what could only be called mixed reviews. |
| Cathy |
Well, I don't understand that. I saw some of those reviews and I don't think they were in the same show that I was in. I thought it was absolutely splendid. I saw the preview and I saw this. It's just amazing. it's a beautiful show. |
| Guy |
It's going to Broadway, I understand? |
| Cathy |
Yes, it is, so we're going to lose Michael |
