Tell Me On A Sunday
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tell Me On A Sunday is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Don Black.
A one-woman tour-de-force about a young British woman's romantic misadventures in New York City and Hollywood, it was written specifically for Marti Webb. It was presented at the Sydmonton Festival in the summer of 1979, subsequently recorded for an album release, and was aired as a one-hour television special by the BBC the following January.
Combined with a ballet choreographed to Lloyd Webber's Variations, a classical piece based on the A Minor Caprice No. 24 by Paganini, it became Act I of Song and Dance, first mounted in London in 1982, then Americanized for a Broadway production in 1985.
Reverted to its one-act format, the show was substantially updated and rewritten with additional material by Jackie Clune for a 2003 London production starring Denise Van Outen. Marti Webb succeeded her and subsequently toured the UK with the show.
The song "Take That Look Off Your Face" proved to be a major UK charts hit for Webb.
