Award-winning musicals theatre star, multi-platinum recording artist, and broadcaster – the ‘First Lady’ of British Musical theatre will be the guest performer in this year’s 50th anniversary edition of the Miss Gibraltar pageant. Ms Paige says she is thrilled to be performing in the show which will be held in St Michael’s Cave on Saturday April 14. Speaking from London, she said: “It’s such an exciting event and the venue looks absolutely beautiful, I can’t wait to see it! And, as I’ve never sung in a cave before, this is another first for me!” She has just finished a hugely successful run on Broadway as Carlotta in Stephen Sondheim’s musical ‘Follies’ which was followed by two sold-out concerts in New York. Her musical career spans more than four decades. James Neish, Stage One producer, said they were extremely pleased and excited that they had been able to secure an artist of the calibre of Elaine Paige for the 2012 Show. “Ms Paige has a very busy schedule and we are delighted that she will be flying to Gibraltar before re-joining the cast of Follies in L.A. A special crowning show deserved a special star to celebrate with us,” he emphasised. Minister for Culture Steven Linares meanwhile added that The Ministry of Culture was delighted to be supporting the participation of Elaine Paige, and that the team was working closely with Stage One to ensure a spectacular show. “We are sure that Elaine Paige’s performance in our very impressive St Michael’s Cave Theatre will be truly memorable,” he said. Tickets, go on sale on Wednesday at 9am at MH Bland.
