since the early 1980s, her credits including Barnum, Dreamgirls,

hear her magnificent voice in an intimate club setting. -

LILLIAS WHITE
"She's alive" despite
her success, Lillias White remains generous and level-headed.
A queen of Broadway wants the
young to know that dreams come true, writes Bryce Hallett.
Even off stage Lillias White
has that special, indefinable something. Ebullience and ease
are part of the equation, so too her curiosity and laughter.
The award-winning music-theatre
performer from New York is neatly summed up by the French waiter
in the cafe where we meet for this interview. "She's just
great. I like her - she's alive!" - The Sydney Morning

MICHELINE VAN HAUTEM
A year on from her memorable
first Sydney visit, Belgian singer Micheline Van Hautem returned
with her muse, Jacques Brel, and her miraculous musical partner,
Frederik Caelen. What ensued may have been less intense than
it was in the more intimate Sound Lounge, but she still lit a
slow blue flame under Brel, and made his songs writhe a little.

IT AINT A GAMBLE.
IT'S A SURE BETTE
"Tradition" was the first song Bette Midler sang
on Broadway in 1966 in the ensemble of "Fiddler On The Roof"
and last night thirty nine years later she once again gave us
a huge serve of tradition. The kind of tradition that one could
think has been forgotten in our crazy fast paced modern world,
I am talking of the good old fashioned tradition called SHOWBIZ.
To see a woman in her 60th year rip up a packed arena of over
20,000 people using every trick in the trade is really an experience
no living human should miss. - David Hawkins

WAINWRIGHT - FOLK IN THE FAMILY
RUFUS Wainwright is not your
conventional pop or folk star. He is both, yet much more: a purveyor
of everything from opera to punk. He also believes the family
that plays together stays together.
The openly gay singer-songwriter
son of Loudon Wainwright III of Dead Skunk fame tours
Australia this week with his mother and aunt, acclaimed 1970s
folk duo Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and his sister Martha Wainwright,
who is about to release her debut album. - The Adelaide Advertiser

WAINWRIGHT - KABARETT VOLTAIRE
It is so easy to hate Rufus
Wainwright. And surely Wainwright, who confessed to once briefly
having an irrational hatred of Jeff Buckley born of artistic
jealousy, would understand. After all, there's just too much
to complain about with this Canadian singer/songwriter.
