"How I discovered Michael
Ball"

I have Michael Crawford
to thank for that. Being an MC fan I just had to buy the video "Premier Collection Encore Andrew Lloyd Webber" hoping to
see many MC performances. I was disappointed that there was only one, when suddenly
there was this gorgeous young man, driving up in what looked like a Bentley (with
suicide doors.) He had a voice unlike any I had ever heard before.
He was absolutely brilliant!!! And to my amazement, he appeared twice in
this video! His rendition of "The First Man You Remember"
with Diana
Morrison blew me away. I was desperate to find out more about this incredibly
handsome, talented boy, but had no idea where to look.
Meanwhile
I had arranged to take my teenaged granddaughter, Rebecca, back to my homeland
to meet her British relatives. My niece, Jackie sent me a London newspaper
so that I could choose a West End show for the 3 of us. There in
large print was "Passion" starring MICHAEL BALL. I
couldn't believe my luck! Naturally, we booked. I will never forget
that now famous "bonking" scene, the golden voice and terrific body.
A dream come true for me, Rebecca and Jackie. At that moment Michael
gained 3 devoted fans, an old lady (me), a teenager (Rebecca) and a 30 yr old
beauty (Jackie) and we are still in love with him.
Guess
what!, the 3 of us will be seeing him again in October. It doesn't get
any better than that. Thanks for allowing me to tell my story.
Love
to all Michael fans,
Joan
