I saw her live in 1983, at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York, playing Grizabella. Since then I have been a big fan. Nobody sings “Memory” like she does and nobody could ever play that part as well as she did, in my opinion. It is a shame that we only have the 1983 Tony Awards’ performance video (Also Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade video) to look back on her in that role. What a voice!
Don't you understand this was a treat to see her sing before the performance who cares about her hair she's an artist and she's lovely and it was a beautiful moment in art don't underestimate it today everybody's fake looking and there's beauty on the stage. This is the real deal.
Then check out her performance of Memory on The Tonight Show. I believe the video is titled: Betty Buckley Memory on Carson from Cats. In that performance of Memory, she sings "Touche me. It's so easy to leave me all alone with the memory of my day in the sun" all in ONE breath. It's huge and effortless. Look it up. It's thrilling to hear.
The very pretty and extremely talented singer, actress, dancer and performer Betty Buckley is the best and one and Grizabella ever! I was born in 1978. There is nothing wrong with Betty Buckley's hair and dress! Bett Buckley was portraying Grizabella in CATS at the time! Most actors and actresses of Broadway dress down outside of the Théâtre! Grizabella the cat has long hair and is scorned and unaccepted by the other cats! The fashion and hair police need to retract their claws!
Betty Buckley is an incredibly diverse and powerful performer, but to me, she will always be the gym teacher who slapped the shit out of Chris Hargensen in "Carrie".😆🤣
Могу ошибаться ,но именно Бэтти должна была исполнить роль Гризабэлы ,но ,толи перелом ноги ,толи вывих . В итоге первой исполнительницей партии Гризабэллы стала Илайн Пэйдж . И это стало удачей мюзикла . Никто из исполнительниц так и не смог превзойти Пэйдж .Это ,как ,если какую то партию исполняет Паваротти ,а потом слушаешь в другом исполнении , хорошо ,но ,увы , не то.
This is fabulously horrible! Has either of them ever been to a hair stylist? Sorry, Betty, but you should have stayed at Casa Manana along with Ruta Lee.
For this song, to my mind, there is Betty Buckley and there is everyone else.

Arguably, the greatest singer out of Broadway!
Theatre art at is finest,,,, andy and betty nailed that sucker to the wall and owned it,,,,, oh yeah💪

Love this with Sir Andrew playing! She is so amazing in the climax.
Seeing her in last couple of seasons of Law and Order: SVU and I had to look at her videos again. Powerful!
I was just born in this year.
It's nice to see her sing the whole song; I just wish it was at the same tempo as the Tony Award performance.
BRAVO!
Do we remember her as the gym teacher in”Carrie”?
Wow !

It was the 1980s. I loved Betty's hairstyle when she was Ms. Collins in Carrie.
Horrible, just because of the hair??
What a dumbass comment
Imagine hearing her sing like this and thinking about anything else. Couldn't be me.
@@lumariadp Exactly!! Absolutely bitter. She is AMAZING.
