Boyle recorded a version of "Cry Me a River" for a charity CD produced in 1999 at a school in
Whitburn, West Lothian.This recording has now been released on the web, and has gathered immediate acclaim, with the New York Post writing that this shows that Boyle is not a "one-trick pony" and that the rarity of this CD imprint, with only 1,000 produced, will make them valuable collector's items.Other media reaction was similarly positive, with Hello! magazine stating that the recording is a further illustration of the level of Boyle's talent, going on to write that the song "cements her status" as a singing star.
The Susan Boyle YouTube phenomenon has sent ticket sales soaring for Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre's production of Les Misérables.
The company says the British phenomenon's rendition of I Dreamed a Dream has warmed Vancouver-area theatre-goers' hearts, resulting in a doubling of ticket sales in the three days since Boyle's performance went viral on the Internet.
The Arts Club said in a press release that it would like to give Boyle "her first kiss." She famously confessed on the popular U.K. talent show Britain's Got Talent that she had "never been kissed."
In the Vancouver show, the Les Miz hit will be sung by actress Sara-Jeanne Hosie, who paid tribute to her British counterpart: "I'm excited that, with her spirit and incredible voice, SusanBoyle has connected people to the beauty and power of this song. But mostly it's a relief that if I get hit by a bus, the Arts Club knows exactly who to ask to replace me!"
The ticket boost has accelerated the production's already-successful momentum. The Arts Club says there are several sold-out performances already,with many more nearing capacity.
The hit musical runs fromMay 14 to July 19 at the Arts Club's historic Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage.
