Elaine Paige at Cork Opera House

Elaine Paige, as an actress & recording artist, has made a major contribution to the modern musical that ensures and justifies the title “The First Lady of Musical Theatre”. She swept to fame with her award winning performance as Eva Peron in Evita in both the West End & on Broadway and followed that up with the role of Grizabella in Cats. She then appeared in a string of smash hit shows…Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, Chess (with her global smash hit “I Know Him so Well”), Sunset Boulevard, The King & I and many more.

Ahead of the tour announcement Elaine confirmed this would be her ‘farewell’ tour.

“I’ve thought long and hard about this decision, but feel this landmark event, my 50th Anniversary, is a good time to bid adieu. I’m really look forward to seeing everyone – it’ll be As If We Never Said Goodbye!”
