Trivia

 * "... her rendition of "Memory" is worth a trip to the Neil Simon Theatre. Unlike many stars who have tackled the song (Elaine Paige, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Heather Headley, Lea Salonga, Susan Boyle, and more), Parris belts the climactic 16 bars — 'Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me, all alone with the memory of my days in the sun' — without taking a breath. Most singers take three."
