LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN, THE MUSICAL From the April 8, 2010 issue of "The Northern Echo" (UK), – in a review of the "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" musical, Neil is quoted as saying: "... Meanwhile, Sedaka is busying himself preparing to cut his next album this summer. 'The working title is "Sedaka Sings Doo-Wop" (Forties vocal-based rhythm and blues) which will be a new-old style of songs and, like all the songs I've done in later years, the lyrics will come from me because I like to put my own words to projects,' he says." And, GOLDMINE Magazine (USA), Issue 777 from May 7, 2010, has this 5-star review of "The Music of My Life" by Todd Baptista: At a time when many creative artists have relegated themselves to recording albums filled with standards or songs made famous by others, Neil Sedaka has delivered an original pop album for adults that draws on seven decades of composing and performing. Yet he still brings s Betty Chrisman

LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN, THE MUSICAL Went to see the first night of the new Neil Sedaka musical Laughter In The Rain at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, Kent.

LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN – THE MUSICAL Pat and Sue have sent the link to the upcoming UK musical to open in March. It is – as thay call it – "the Neil Sedaka story". Here.
SEDAKA ROCKS VEGAS Just back from Vegas and glad to say it was one of the best shows I have ever seen Sedaka do. riday night was just amazing, out of all the concerts I have attended this has to be up there with the best. Neil was on top form, boucing and dancing around, joking with the crowd. Do You Remember is better live than on CD, 100% show, 100% entertainment and I went there thinking this would be my last concert, but with Sedaka in form like that, I'm not sure it will be the last. I can see him going for many many more years. It was like a Sedaka from ten years ago. Bravo Neil, don't stop. Gus
REPLY: STAR-CROSSED LOVERS You can find this song on YouTube. I love it. Bill
REPLY: STAR-CROSSED LOVERS Star-Crossed Lovers is also on "Let The Good Times In" CD. I have a spare copy if you are interested, Sue. Regards, Graham
STAR-CROSSED LOVERS Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of Star-Crossed Lovers. I think its on "Anthology" but I can't find a copy anywhere. Sue Brazendale
DO YOU REMEMBER LYRICS The lyrics to the new song are here. Thanks, Helen! Marcelo
LYRICS Can anyone send me lyrics of new song Do You Remember? Phil Cosgrove
THE MUSIC OF MY LIFE I received my copy of the album a few days ago. I had heard the tracks already through a friend of mine, but I was waiting for the CD to arrive to hear it from start to finish before I posted my notes. I think this is a GREAT album indeed, very well produced. I do miss the production credits though. We know David Foster produced the first track, but they don't mention it anywhere. Musically, this album reminds me a lot of the "Emergence" album, which is one of my very favorites. The strings arrangements in songs like I Keep Searching and the powerful beat in I Got To Believe In Me Again reminds me of Neil at his best!

CONCERT PROGRAMME I have been a big fan of Neil Sedaka for years and saw him at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on 18th June. I was thrilled at the concert but disappointed not to get a programme.
