Elaine on X

48 yrs ago tonight I was about to step on stage as the first Eva Peron in @OfficialALW & @SirTimRice’s @EvitaMusical directed by Hal Prince with it’s worldwide premiere at the Prince Edward Theatre in London. A moment that changed my life. Forever grateful.

Get out the popcorn, pour yourself a cold drink, maybe a hotdog (?) & most importantly turn off your mobile phone!! Sit back as the lights go down because it's my Musical Movies special at 1pm on @BBCRadio2 & @BBCSounds … and no talking until the credits end & the lights go up!

With the lawns looking pristine, the grass court season is now in full swing at @TheQueensClub & soon to be in all its glory at @Wimbledon Plus there's a reason to celebrate with the return of tennis royalty - @Venuseswilliams & @Serenawilliams … back together again! Can't wait!
