I saw a reference to I Could Go On Singing on the "Shepard Smith Crashes and Burns at CNBC" thread. Lorna and Joey were, according to Wikipedia, respectively, "Girl on boat" and "Boy on boat" in this motion picture. Were these performances their best work?

Take my poll please.

Other = the Judy Xmas special, where they feigned joy while being terrified Mama was going to drop dead onstage.

Lorna had a great belt in Grease 2. Sad she only got to sing a few lines in one song (I believe.)
(or did she have a solo? I don't remember much of her singing except in the bowling song.)

Lorna's book has a sort of unbelievable story about her almost being cast in Cats. She claims they liked her and hired a vocal coach or orchestrator or someone like that to work with her on Memory for four months. Then one day she read in the papers that Betty Buckley had been cast in the role.
Broadway people seem to think it is doubtful they'd pay to rehearse an actress that long by herself.
Plus it is odd that if she was that close to getting the role she didn't get the LA company or replace Buckley.
She has said that once she saw the show she didn't want to be in it because it would mean sitting backstage for most of the show and she wouldn't have like that. Kind of doubt that story too.
In the Broadway production Buckley was directed to always be watching the action from someplace. There were little perches and platforms all over the theater that she the outcast would appear on and sit for a while watching the action. Trevor Nunn wanted her to be a part of the whole thing.
