Petula played Norma Desmond in "Sunset Blvd" at the Adelphi Theatre in London on April 5, 1997 for the final time before a packed house of enthusiastic Theatre-goers. What will Petula do next? Too soon to say, but the latest speculation is a "one-woman-show" based in Canada. In the meantime, see if you can find Petula in a collection of celebrity snapshots taken at "Bash" in Miami, FL. If that is too tough, then try this recent photo for an easier challenge.

"To a teen-age audience whose social-sexual awareness dovetailed with [her 60's songs] release dates, Petula ... would provide gratifying reassurance of postadolescent survival.� Everything about her onstage, on-mike manner belies the aggressive proclamations of the lyrics.� Face, figure, discreet gyrations, but, above all, that voice, fiercely loyal to its one great octave,� indulging none but the most circumspect slides and filigree, vibrato so tight and fast as to be nonexistent ... Petula panders to the wishful thinking of the older
set that, style be hanged, modesty prevails."� �
from The Search For Petula Clark by Glenn Gould,� 1967
