SARAH BRIGHTMAN

Sarah was in the leading TV dance group Paus People, and then was recruited to lead Arlene Phillips' troupe Hot Gossip. "Starship Trooper," Sarah’s first single, was a solo project she undertook while still signed to the sultry dance group, Hot Gossip. Sarah’s performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Song and Dance was staged and recorded before a live audience at the Palace Theatre in London on April 28, 1984. It was re-released on July 16th, 2007. The Songs that Got Away is the long-overdue showcase for songs that got derailed for reasons other than their inherent merit. Sarah ably breathes new life into these numbers…songs from short-lived productions, songs that were dropped on tour, songs that were cut at rehearsals and songs that, for one sundry reason or another, got away. “Meadowlark” is from the musical The Baker’s Wife by Stephen Schwartz and closed after it’s pre-Broadway tour, never making it to Broadway. “Mr. Monotony” by Irving Berlin was cut from the movie Easter Parade (1948), cut again from Miss Liberty (1949), and cut yet again from Call Me Madam (1950). “Lud’s Wedding” by Leonard Berstein from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ran for only seven performances, while Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Half a Moment” from Jeeves, closed after 48 performances. One Night In Eden was a worldwide covering concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman. The singer embarked on the tour after the success of the multi-platinum release of the 1998' album "Eden". It started in South Africa and continued through Europe, ending in North America. Over 250,000 people ultimately saw Brightman's successful 101-city worldwide tour. Sarah Brightman and Jackie Evancho perform "Time to Say Goodbye" on the America's Got Talent Finale The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) appointed Sarah as a "UNESCO Artist for Peace" in February of 2012. She received this distinction at a ceremony at UNESCO headquarters on February 8th.
