The "farewell" concert will be rescheduled to Nov. 13. "Elaine and her band are deeply disappointed with this news but hope everyone can join them on the 13th November," according to press notes. All tickets remain valid, but if necessary refunds are available from the point of sale.
Entitled Page by Page by Paige, the tour, celebrating the acclaimed singing actress' 50th anniversary in show business, began Oct. 9 in Cardiff and will conclude Dec. 6 in Melbourne, Australia.
Paige offered an evening at London’s Royal Albert Hall Oct. 20 with special guests and the BBC Concert Orchestra. The London evening was filmed. Details of a broadcast or DVD release have yet to be announced.
The tour, according to press notes, encompasses "Elaine Paige’s monumental career, with songs from the world of musical theatre and her hugely successful recording catalogue."
“I’ve thought long and hard about this decision, but feel this landmark event, my 50th Anniversary, is a good time to bid adieu," Paige said in a statement. "I’m really look forward to seeing everyone – it’ll be As If We Never Said Goodbye!”
The tour does not mark the Olivier winner's retirement, only her decision not to embark on further tours.
Remaining tour dates follow:
Oct. 28-29 in Dublin, Ireland
Oct. 31 in Cork, Ireland
Dec. 5 in Sydney, Australia
Dec. 6 in Melbourne, Australia
Paige's numerous London theatrical credits include Evita, Cats, Chess, Sunset Boulevard, Piaf, The King and I, Anything Goes, The Drowsy Chaperone and more.
