Elaine Paige, the star of West End and Broadway musicals for more than 40 years, will make her long awaited North American concert debut on Saturday, September 25, at 9 PM at The Music Box at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. A top recording artist, stage performer and radio host, Elaine will display her electrifying talents in a night of iconic musical theatre that is sure to delight audience members and prove why she holds the title "The First Lady of Musical Theatre."

Elaine has starred in numerous musical productions on the West End and Broadway and in concerts across the globe, first sweeping to fame when she created her award winning performance as 'Eva Peron' in Evita in 1968. Shortly afterwards she created the role of 'Grizabella' in the original production of Cats and the classic song "Memory" became the first of Elaine's many hit records.  Elaine has performed in concert worldwide from The White House to The Great Hall of the People in Beijing, from the Bolshoi to Sydney Opera House. She has appeared in many television roles including her own TV specials and Royal Variety Shows. She has recorded 20 solo albums (4 multi Platinum and 8 consecutive Gold) and 6 cast albums and has been honored with a number of awards, including the HMV Lifetime Achievement Award (1996) and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (1999).

This year marks the 6th anniversary of her hugely successful weekly BBC Radio 2 program Elaine Paige on Sunday. The program, devoted to musical theatre and film music, continues to delight audiences of over 2-million listeners each week in the UK alone with its mix of music, competitions and interviews.  In 2009, a live DVD recording from Elaine's 40th Anniversary Tour, titled Elaine Paige Live - Celebrating A Life On Stage, was released including the songs "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Tomorrow," "Memory," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," "As If We Never Said Goodbye," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Broadway Baby."

Elaine is currently in the US recording an exciting new duets album for Warner Bros Records, produced by the legendary record producer Phil Ramone, which is tentatively titled Elaine Paige and Friends.  The album is scheduled to be released in the UK in November of this year and in the US early in 2011.
