Laurie Beechman - Memory (1990)

Dedicated to my Chief PleasureIsAllMines who loves this song. Made for no profit, for the memory of Laurie Beechman (1953-1998). No copyright infringement intended on photos and music. There is another version of this song by Laurie on her Andrew Lloyd Webber album. It's already been put up on YT. From Wikipedia: The role of Grizabella was originated by Elaine Paige in the West End production. She later reprised the role for the video. In the first Broadway production, Grizabella was played by Betty Buckley. Buckley won the Tony Award for outstanding achievement in the theater in 1983 for playing Grizabella. Laurie Beechman headed the First National Company of Cats and in 1984 she replaced Buckley. Beechman stayed with the show for more than four years and made occasional return engagements over the next decade. Dee Roscioli played the role in the US National Touring Company in 2003-2004. Dianne Pilkington (2006--2007) & Chrissie Hammond (2007--2008) played the role in the recent UK National Tour (2006--2008). Lea Salonga starred as Grizabella in the musical's Philippine run on July 24 - August 22, 2010.
