I didn't see Kuhn as Fantine, unfortunately, but here she is singing I Dreamed a Dream at the White House in 1988:

I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

She has one of my favorite voices ever, I mean ever! And her range is huge, both as a singer and an actress.
Rosa Bud
Bella
Cosette
Florence
Maria/Futura
Amalia
Betty Schaeffer
Fantine
Bella and Cosette couldnt be more different in both character and vocal range...in one season.
Now, I need her to add another character to that list:
Mrs. Danvers!!!

Love, love, love her.
I made this video about it for Jeffery Self's web series:

This is Harvard, not a stripper bar...

I'm surprised that no one has posted this yet:

(The song is so cheezy that you could serve it in a fondue pot, but I loved it ever since a friend of mine in Scotland sent it to me on a cassette, back when the show came out. I'd love to hear two guys sing it.)
I remember that she was supposed to take over for Maria Friedman in "The Woman in White", when Maria got ill, but the show closed before that happened. I was no big fan of "Woman" but I was sorry that Judy never got to play it.

I adore her Jule Styne CD. Always lamented her absence on the She Loves Me recording. Her Laura Nyro CD is also fantastic. Her slow tempo "Stoney End" is heartbreaking.

Posted: 10/26/12 at 10:30pmI'm watching Elementary right now and loved seeing Kuhn, even though she needed a bigger role.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

I needed to bump this because I woke up today thinking about my favorite musical performer. This video is such a treasure that it belongs in this love thread.

Judy --we miss you! Please come back to Broadway. I just watched another two of my favorite JK performances. You always steal my heart.

I love her and her voice is like silk.
In projects like Chess and Pocahontas she sounds great, but I do think there were also roles were she was miscast, like Cosette.
She is not that kind of soprano to me. Her strength lies in a completely different place on the vocal spectrum.
I always compare her to Claire Moore, also one of the best singers in the world, but she was definitely not a Christine to me. But an outstanding Ellen. I'm always a bit surprised when people see Judy as a Cosette, vocally. Her performance in the Les Miserables 10th anniversary concert always bothered me a bit, especially her high notes.
So I think she's great but misunderstood at times, also by casting directors.

I love her gorgeous voice also. I believe she is appearing in Provincetown this summer with Seth Rudetsky.
July 15 and 16th. I would give anything to hear her again on Broadway also. Her concerts are pretty amazing, though.

Cannot wait to see Judy at Classic Stage in I Can Get it For You Wholesale. She never disappoints.
