"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
surprised there's no Miss Saigon songs considering that she was the original Broadway Ellen
The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.

Inside her liner notes, she writes: " WHAT IS ESSENTIAL? Well, in the case of these recordings, they are essential to me as they all represent hugely meaningful experiences in my career, either onstage or in the recording studio. Opportunities that were particularly exciting, challenging or just plain fun! Some of these songs I've been singing since I was 18, others I met along the way and a few are more recent discoveries. It was a daunting task narrowing down over 30 years of music to just 18 songs. I think I'm going to need a volume 2. I hope you enjoy it! xoxo Liz "
