A lovely lady. I am a flight attendant for Air New Zealand and I just brought her from LA to Auckland. She was charming and friendly and totally normal. Class act!

I was in a production of 'Billy' back in 2012. I played the part of Mr. Shadrack. I love how this, almost forgotten musical has so many good songs. Not only 'Any Minute Now', but also 'I Missed the Last Rainbow' and 'My Heart is Ready When You Are'.

I had the pleasure of playing the role of Billy a couple of years ago. such a brilliant show. wish they would revive it xx

This was the first time i saw elaine on stage . a star ready to tread to board to super stardom . happy 50th years on the stage elaine

I was lucky enough to see Billy Liar on the London stage with Elaine Paige and Michael Crawford in the 1970's. Being a great fan of John Barry's film music, I snapped up a copy of the cast album and played this particular song to death.

@thediggle i saw the show at the drury lane theatre way back in about 1975..loved it!...they should rveive it i think :)

Thankfully got to see the show twice...once with a bomb scare half-way through...and have the Lp and CD to prove. Like another poster said, this was the first time I had seen music and acting apart from panto. Great memories, great cast, great show. They were talking about a revival years ago when the Aussie soaps were big...about the time they brought back Joesph and the coat...I guess it never happened. Love you Elaine.

Thanks for your upload. It is very rare for me to see Elaine Page before "EVITA(1976)". I remember that this song is outstanding one in the original cast album B side . John Barry wrote some superb musical such as " Lolita My love " or "Alice's adventures in wonder land" in this period(1971 to 1974) . But unfortunately it does not get commercial success. Billy is only one musical for Barry to get audience success. The music in this show is very pretty and give me the feeling of "comming home "

This royal variety performance of 1975.got me back here again 6 years on

The first time I ever went to a theater I was 12, the musical BILLY was the show in 1975 at Dury Lane London, I LOVED the show so much after my time I begged to go again, and my nanny took me, I would have watched every performance if it had been affordable but it was not so I saw it twice, got the vinyl LP of the show the next xmas, and played it over and over, and yes I still have it, still remember all the songs the set on stage, meeting Michael and the cast at the stage door after, I wish it had been filmed so that version could be on video to buy, such a shame no one did that, if only video was around in the UK a bit sooner.

I had the pleasure of seeing "Billy" in London, and buying the CD before it became next to impossible to find. Still one of my all time favorite shows.

I wish the cast recording was available!

Billy was written by Don Black, who wrote "Memory" from Cats....

The lyrics are fantastic x

Thank you for posting this. I saw "Billy" with Michael Crawford and Elaine Paige on stage in London many moons ago and I thought it was fabulous......I've always remembered this song. I still listen to her on BBC2 on Sundays.

I adore Elaine Paige, not only a marvelous voice and beautiful as well, but from her interviews and manner in general, a beautiful person. I never saw "Billy" not sure it came to the New York , where I used to live, but loved the Elaine's duel performance. Thank you for having on your web site. I"m a recent convert to the Elaine Paige fan club,which she so richley deserves.

Great post, pity this version is'nt on cd? Lovely thank you.

great to see Elaine doing both parts on here, shame theres not more from the show, you can now get a re release of the shows cast album on CD.....i was a great show my parents took me first musical except for panto that i went to and i was hooked!

@briahn16 They should. I guess Crawford is too old, eh? :)

This s****! It is so difficult to find this music anywhere, and then both the beginning and the end is snipped off in this clip!
