    It was nice to see them both in one stage, singing together... nostalgia to Miss saigon days where Lea as Kim and Ruthie in the ensemble. I wish to see them in person.

      I didn't even know the lyric changes had been made until I was singing along like the old queen I am, as I usually do, reading the lyrics and they didn't match. I wish people would stop f*cking about with stuff. It's one thing being woke and accepting, but erasing stuff and rewriting is beginning to verge on farcical

    Last night I watched him sleeping,
    My body pressed to him.
    And then he started speaking.
    The name I heard him speak was Kim...
    Yes, I know that this was years ago,
    But when moonlight fills my room I know
    You are here, still.
    I still-
    I still believe
    You will return.
    I know you will.
    My heart against all odds
    Holds still.
    Yes, still,
    I still believe.
    I know as long as I can keep believing,
    I'll live.
    I'll live,
    Love cannot die.
    You will return, you will return,
    And I alone know why...
    Last night I watched you sleeping.
    Once more the nightmare came.
    I heard you cry out something,
    A word that sounded like a name.
    And it hurts me more than I can bear
    Knowing part of you I'll never share,
    Never know.
    But still-
    I still believe
    The time will come
    When nothing keeps us apart.
    My heart forever more holds still.
    It's all over I'm here,
    There is nothing to fear!
    Chris, what's haunting you?
    Won't you let me inside
    What you so want to hide.
    I need you too!
    Ellen: Kim:
    I will Hold you all night for still
    I will make it all right
    You are safe with me I still believe
    And I wish you could tell As long as I
    What you don't want to tell Can keep believing
    You can sleep now I'll Live... I'll live
    You can cry now You will return
    I'm your wife now And I know why
    For life I'm yours
    Until we die

      Age-related vocal fatigue. Broadway singers are vocal athletes that train to perform. There are individual variations, but like any other athlete, a Broadway singer experiences changes as he or she ages.

    • @daveyg34

      I read online it is damage from poor technique. It is very intense vocally on the West End Stage and if you don’t take good care it can destroy your voice. She sang other songs in that concert and sounded awful. Alice Ripley has lost her voice too.

    Sounds like Ruthie's vocal cords were shot! Vocal nodes perhaps? She was flatting and had a hard time producing a decent sound. Ruined the duet with Lea. Too bad, I liked Ruthie's Fantine during the Les Mis 10th anniversary. Time for some vocal rest for her.

  • @fionascott6493

    I love Ruthie, and idolise Lea, but Ruthie sounded so out of tune and her demeanor wooden here, which is a shame. Think her hair was bothering her a bit. Lea gives 100% to every performance. Her voice hasn't changed at all. My daughter's ex boyfriend's brother Jordan was in "I'm a celebrity" with Ruthie though and she was his favourite campmate and the nicest apparently apart from Beverly Callard.

      Not Ruthie at her best, but so well said about Lea. She has been so lionized over the years that it clearly has gone to her head. She was brilliant and likely has been unequalled as Kim. Yet her Eponine has long been overrated (lacking in feeling and character), and her Fantine, while I saw her just twice in the role, was nowhere near the best I've seen.
