Hi ya Connie

Its Cuz Debs from Yorkshire here (its the only way to distinguish me from all the other Debs as there seem to be quite a few of us!! ha ha) Thanks for confirming the last date for me. Am trying to get something organised to come to the last show. hopefully will get to see you again??

The future souds VERY bright for you Connie, and boy you do deserve it!! What will you do with all those evenings back eh?

I have to say for the Tshirt I like the sound of your signature large and sparkling accross the front in black or white for reall impact but also in a choice of other colours for those days where you NEED something colourful, maybe red khaki pink navy (would look fab with denims with a white glittery signature!) cream lilac etc etc (I'm rambling now!!). I think you get the drift of what I am saying?? as for a little logo, what is your favourite thing that would reflect you that would look good on a tshirt under your glittering signature?? a flower or ladybird???? anything that relates to you as its you that we are supporting!!

Food for thought maybe??

Take care Cuz

lots of Love

Debs and the boysxxxxx

Hi Connie,

Thanks for the newsletter update, sounds fantastic for you, well done you deserve it.
Hope that you are feeling better soon & back on full form.
Re the Big Apple what an amazing city; Ground Zero is well worth a visit just to see the enormity of the area concerned, The Empire State Building, Times Square, Rockefeller Centre for ice skating & of course a show on Broadway oh & Central Park, enjoy I'm sure that you will.
Best Wishes
Lara.

I feel so priveliged to be mentioned!
Thanx Connie!!

Connie,
It's awesome that you may be going to New York for your holiday! I've been there a few times, but the last time was about 8 years ago and I don't know the city well. One thing I can think of that you could do, though, is to go shopping on 5th Avenue--it will be crazy that time of year but it's a lot of fun. Also, you could try some authentic New York-style pizza, ride the subway (it's gritty but interesting), go to Central Park, and of course check out as many Broadway shows as you can. I hope you have a great time!
Michelle

hi connie,
the tv drama sounds fab and I also think that N.Y is a fanastic holiday choice! I've never been there but have always wanted to go!!!
Re: Broadway show - wow!!! great opportunity for you but it would be a shame to loose a welsh gem so soon!!!
Is there any chance of another west end musical?
I can't wait for the new album!!!
I'm coming on the 23rd so I really hope that I will see you there!
lots of love lauren xx

URGENT!!!!!!!
Hiya Connie, me, again, and in desperate need of help! I have asked you for advice on singing As Long As He Needs Me and Don't Rain on my parade but have had to change to Memory with less than two weeks left before the performance. I've never sung it before, I know the words etc but have no idea how to play it! Thoght you did amazingly at the concert for diana, could you please give me some advice???

Not so urgent...
I've posted my designs to the palladium so hop eyou like them!! Another one of my "quick questions"- are the audience supposed to join in with Edelweiss - would you like the audience to? Would love to know before I come up in February as absolutely sure that the audience that night will not be reluctant to join in!hehe

Hi, Connie
Here's another suggestion of what to do when in NYC: go the the Museum of Radio and Television on 52nd street. You can pick out all sorts of old material and watch it in a personal video booth.
While you might not be interested in our old American TV and radio programmes, you will be able to access all Julie Andrews' TV specials that were aired in the 60's and 70's. Fancy the coincidence, but I will be in NYC the last week of November doing exactly that and we hope to get to see a few shows as well. We are still looking for an affordable hotel, though. Prices have skyrocketed since my last trip. Whatever you do in NYC, have a great time and take care of your health, my dear! NYC can be quite cold and windy in November and next time I come to London to see SOM again I do prefer seeing you playing Maria :-)

Kindest regards, Renate

Hi Connie

I'm loving the fact you have a guinea pig - I used to have one and will be trying to convince my boyfriend that we need one when we move in together!

I also think it's fantastic that you will be involved in a TV drama - I do believe your acting skills are fantastic, just as fab as your voice. Well done - you are finally getting the recognition and offers you deserve :-) Helen x

hi connie,
just looking at your pictures while practising for a talent contest tomorrow
( I'm singing as long as he needs me) saw that you were weraing a t shirt from david and goliath! I have a few things from there and have been waiting for my next trip to london to get another one, so I guess that will be in february! I love their designs especially trendy wendy, so once again we have another thing in common!!
I have heard that you might be in a St Davids day cooncert in Cardiff, any truth in that?
cant wait to come and see you, really hoping to see you after/ before the show on the 23rd feb!
lots of love lauren xx

Dear Connie

Any chance someone can arrage for you to meet Julie Andrews?

Not sure just where she lives but I bet that address book of ALW will!!
I accept America is a big place but hey Dreams do come true - have a wonderful time and I hope you are feeling better.

with love
Kathryn

Thanks for the news letter, looking forward to your future projects. Just seen you on Songs of Praise, fab dress!!

Hi Connie,

I hope you are in good health.

I thought you were wonderful in 'Songs of Praise,' this evening, your voice was strong and clear.

I re-read your 2nd Newsletter and there is alot going on.

This 90 minute drama is very exciting. I really hope you get a major (lead) part in it. I'm so intrigued by it.

Saturday 23rd of February, your last performance I'm sure will be an emotional one for you. Singing those songs that you've sang every night for the last time must be difficult. I'm trying to imagine what it must be like for you to do scenes for the very last time. Can't be easy. Still I booked my ticket for the 23rd way back in July. (I partly guessed and took a chance).

This Broadway musical sounds very exciting. I hope it all works out for you.

I know alot of the offers depend on other factors but I'm sure you'll make the right choice.


Take care

Hi Connie, Looking forward to your new album any news on the t-shirt design yet? Just wanted to wish you a happy holiday. Wouldn't it be great if you could sent us fans a virtual postcard from New York! Maybe you will have a spare few minutes to log on. Have finally got tickets for your last show, but couldn't wait that long so we are coming to London on 1st Dec to see the matinee, hope we get to met you at the stage door too!!
Luv Rach & Jane xx

Hi Connie,

My Name is Peter and me and my boyfriend came to see you in TSOM last January. It was my birthday and we managed to catch tickets just hours before the show. After the show he asked you for a kiss by the way. Didn't wash his face for days...
When we saw you the first time on tv we new instantly that you would be a supburb Maria. (sorry for my poor English by the way). We have got some suggestions for your new cd. Wistle down the wind, Meadowlark, Send in the clowns, something from Jeckyll and Hyde or Into the woods are some of my favorites. We're looking forwad seeing you again in a new show! Any plans in that direction?
Anyway kind regards an thank you for a wonderful birthday present! You were stunning!

Peter

having travelled 200 miles from pembrokeshire and waited 10 months, i was disappointed to find that connie had a sudden illness and couldn't play the day i was there at the theatre. i have now found out that she was on a hen party that day. very disappointed with the lies, i could have booked another date. we all really enjoyed the show however and had a good weekend. i wouldn't see connie now if you paid me. aoife should have won anyway

so connie was off (you know like taking a holiday) and the theatre told you she was ill, and thats connie's fault? Should she not have a social life then? Or should all her mates have to revolve around her? How did you find out she was on this hen party? And as for Aoife should have won anyway you seem very bitter and if you truly believed this then you could have booked to see the show on the days aoife was on couldnt you? Well you saw her when you went on this website so you have fallen down on your own promise. Oh wait, your just disapointed and wanted to moan and decided to come on here and have a go. My mistake.

Poor Connie does not deserve comments like this may be you should have asked the right people and not just listened to gossip. You obviously do not realise how hard these people work and YES they do all get some time off sometimes.
Yes I would have been disapointed not to have seen Connie waiting 10 months but don't blame her.
Just think by your bitterness you will never have the chance of seeing such a wonderful performer as our Connie. We do not need people like you on this website becasue sorry we are not perfect like you.
Only 200 miles some of us come a lot farther than that and back again.

Blame the company you booked your tickets with maybe? Connie's holiday dates have been published on ticket webb sites for months now! They sell you tickets for the show not for a particular artist! Stop moaning! Presumably Aoefa was standing in for Connie anyway so you shouldn't have been disappointed!

Hi,

If I travelled 200 miles to see Connie and she wasn't there, to be honest, I'd be upset too. It's always a good idea to phone The Palladium to make sure Connie is performing, if you're unsure.
All I can say is, give Connie another chance.

Cheers

I realise that your entitled to you opinion of Connie, but I think you are taking this a bit far, did you find out from a reliable source about the whole hen party thing? I mean I would be dissapointed too, but that doesn't mean that I would start to doubt Connie in any way, she deserved to win that show, and although Aoife didn't win, she still got the part for 2 shows a week. If anything, not seeing Connie in the show wold make me more eager to see her in other things, she is a great performer, and even if the hen party issue is true, then I would admire her even more, for being able to juggle her career and social life.
lauren

how can you make a comment like that when you havent even seen connie perform!! well i have and she was absolutely magnificent! so just be quiet and stop complaining were all entitled to a day off occassionally ok you were disappointed but you dont have to sound so bitter.

if you want to see lots of connie vids then check out www.youtube.com/iggyfishtank

Hi, Josh
Thanks so much for putting on the new videos - it's the only way I get to see those productions here in Germany! I must admit that I had counted on you doing it :-)

Kindest regards, Renate

Great news about the TV role Connie! Can't wait for it! You must be so chuffed! It was all over the freebie London papers last week but I have been sooo busy, this is my first opportunity to congratulate you.
Hope you can ignore the nasty comment on here - remember that you have so many real fans, and we love you and think you are fab!
Can't wait for SoM next week.....
Love Sarah x

Hi Connie,
I hope that you are having a fabulous holiday, did you go to NY?
Fantastic news about "How do you solve a problem like Maria" winning the International Emmy Award last night, well deserved by all, congratulations.
Great news about the Tv drama, can't wait. Have heard you are making a fim in the US about an Elvis fan? Have also heard that the Maria/Joseph reunion that you mentioned previously is on tv over Xmas, again can't wait.
Thanks to Josh for the heads up re all the new Connie videos, some great footage of the Faenol festival and the documentary "when Connie met Bryn" keep them coming!
Look forward to seeing you in SOM in Jan.
