Judy Kuhn Love Thread

[doodlenyc]

She has one of my favorite voices ever, I mean ever! And her range is huge, both as a singer and an actress.

Rosa Bud
Bella
Cosette
Florence
Maria/Futura
Amalia
Betty Schaeffer
Fantine

Bella and Cosette couldnt be more different in both character and vocal range...in one season.

Now, I need her to add another character to that list:

Mrs. Danvers!!!

[Reginald Tresilian]

Oooooooh!

Love, love, love her.

I made this video about it for Jeffery Self's web series:

Did anyone see her as a board member on ELEMENTARY last night?

[WithoutATrace]

Yes, I noticed her immediately!

I'm surprised that no one has posted this yet:

(The song is so cheezy that you could serve it in a fondue pot, but I loved it ever since a friend of mine in Scotland sent it to me on a cassette, back when the show came out. I'd love to hear two guys sing it.)

I remember that she was supposed to take over for Maria Friedman in "The Woman in White", when Maria got ill, but the show closed before that happened. I was no big fan of "Woman" but I was sorry that Judy never got to play it.

Judy Kuhn is cool. I met her in 1969.

I adore her Jule Styne CD. Always lamented her absence on the She Loves Me recording. Her Laura Nyro CD is also fantastic. Her slow tempo "Stoney End" is heartbreaking.

I'm watching Elementary right now and loved seeing Kuhn, even though she needed a bigger role.
