Hi Maureen! A few years ago, you came to Owings Mills and performed at the Gordon Center. You were fabulous! Unfortunately, I thought they did a poor job of advertising your show, and the turnout was not what it should have been- in my opinion. I hope this did not affect your wanting to return - either to the Gordon Center, or better yet- to the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall which is where you should have been! I'm a big fan, and hope you will come back and perform for us again. Your 50-something-year-old fan, Carol

I saw Little Women last nite and as other people have said they should add songs for you.Both Katie and I had emergency stomach surgery 3 weeks ago so this was great therapy. One question- when will the show official open and is it a limited run? We'll look for you at the next cabaret in NYC. Katie(wheelchair) and Steve Mandel

I never do things like this, BUT....Little Women is absolutely delightful. HOWEVER....your soaring Act 2 "Days of Plenty" needs to be moved DOWNSTAGE. The staging is robbing you and the composer of a truly brilliant moment. THANKS!

Hi Maureen. I wanted to tell you what a wonderful singer that you are. I first
became a Fan when i was a young boy Watching the Towering Inferno. when i lived
in San Francisco. I love all your songs but "WE MAY NEVER LOVE LIKE THIS AGAIN"
is my favorite song.When i was in college i did i dance ballet number with my
dance partner using that song ,and it was beautiful.I got so many complements
on the song that my teacher used it for the opening of our final show. That was
back 1992. anyway I would like to know when you will be here in Miami, florida?
I would come to all your concerts and tell everyone about you so that theyu would
join me as well. I hope to hear from you soon.and thanks for reading my letter.Love
your fan J.R. Navarro

I had the pleasure of seeing you tonight in "Little Women" I have been a fan
since your "movie theme" queen days and saw you in concert during Bethlehem's
Musicfest years ago. I am a local thesbian who had worked with an old friend of
yours, Don Horton, who is no longer with us! Anyway, loved your performance, but,
did not get enough of you! You need another song, loved the witch, by the way!
Great job on "Days of Plenty" half expected you to "bring it home" but, guess
ending works for show. Favorite song, "Can You Read My Mind." !MERDE!

Well I guess from my name, we have a little something in common. I remember
when you first came to the public eye. I can't tell you, how many times I was
asked if I was you. I would also get asked if I was George McGovern's daughter.
I really went through an identity crisis. I find it very funny that we have the
same name. I share a birthday with Cher; but I cannot sing at all. As you can
also see from my name, I added the name of Sibley, when I got married. I now have
a wonderful husband named Bob; and we have a terrific son named Daniel. I would
love to hear you sing "Danny Boy" sometime. Thanks for making it fun to have the
name Maureen McGovern. Take care. Maureen

Fav. song to listen to - "Little Jazz Bird"
Fav. song to sing along with - "I like you your nice" and "Right as
Rain" Maureen (Ms. McGovern is more PC I suppose..lol), I have become a
huge fan over the last 2 + years. I'm a former musical theatre major,
and now really have a love for the Cabaret scene. I was introduced to
you by Paul Renard (vocal coach/pianist - Chicago)who has worked with
you in the past in NYC I believe. Through you and Paul, I have a new
love for singing again - and a better tone and technique. In short, you
are THE best female singer out there -- period. Barbra who?? I look
forward to getting to know more about you personally going forward.
Congrats on your new role on Broadway! Come to Chicago!! All my best!

You will garner thousands of more fans ..... well deserved. Maryann

Dear Maureen, Happy New Year from Scotland. I've been a fan for many
years, since hearing an album track on BBC Radio 2 about 15 years ago,
but only have 3 of your CDs, ("Another Women In Love", "Baby I'm Yours"
and my favourite, "Naughty Baby"), which are hard to get in the shops
here. Thanks to the internet, I'll be able to track down some more.
Other favorite singers include Margaret Whiting and the sadly missed
Jeri Southern.
Would love to see you in concert if you ever get a tour which includes
Scotland. Well I can hope.
Best wishes

Happy Holidays, I'm so excited for you to be back on Broadway.
"Little Women" is my favorite story of my youth. I hope to come to New
York to see the play early March or late Feb. Jay and I would love to
see you if possible while we are there but I know you may be to busy
with the play. I'll let you know what night we are coming and if there
is any chance while we there it would be great. I've been hoping you
would come back to Portland as you did for the Christmas show. I have
the picture of us at dinner in my office. I wish you all the very best
on your opening night and do wish I could be there to see you in all
your fabulous glory. Break a leg. Chris
PS I'm so sorry for your loss this year and I truly understand as my

I love the extraordinarily beautiful, soothing silvery sound of your
voice, delivery, sensitivity, expression, choice of music. In short, I
love YOU! I am listening to you on my computer at this moment. I live
in the Washington, DC area (Maryland suburbs) and was hoping you would
be performing in the "neighborhood" sometime soon. Don't see that on
your schedule. Is there any possibility you will be in the vicinity in
2005? In any event, Happy and Healthy New Year...and the best of luck
to you. You are a treasure!

I heard one of your Christmas songs on the television a few minutes
ago and immediately had to look you up. Your voice is amazing! I'm only
17 but i know a gift from God when i hear one. I read about the charity
work you do and I think you are an awesome person. I would love to do
what you do. I have a list of things i want to do before i die and now
i have to add "see Maureen McGovern on Broadway" to it.

Maureen, I loved "Little Women." You are wonderful as Marmee. What a

out and used them. Sutton Foster is marvelous as Jo. The rest of the cast
is delightful too. Merry Christmas to you all.

I was not familiar with you, but now that I have read about you on this beautiful
site, I will make it my business to find your CD's. You are not only a wonderful
actress but you singing is awe inspiring.

Maureen, I saw "Little Women" on Saturday and was blown away! I feared
that my long awaited anticipation might have diminished my enjoyment. I could
not have been more wrong. Your lavish and generous praise of Sutton Foster's
"Jo" is well deserved. She truly is the embodiment of what Louisa May Alcott
intended Jo to be. Your portrayal of "Marmee", so subtly complex, is the thread
that binds the weave of this timeless story. Brava, Diva!

I have loved Maureen and her talent since I found her Christmas CD years
ago... Her voice is breathtaking! I agree with the late great Mel Torme...
hot since Yma Sumac (yeah, I am old enough to remember her) Last Night I saw
the first preview of "Little Women" and it was wonderful. the vocals are so
powerful, actors really make the story come alive and of course Loved Maureen
(Though she needs more solos!) It's has a lot of humor interwoven in the classic
Louisa May Alcott story.. I spoke with Maureen after the show ( she came out
holding a big box, saw us waiting, went back in, put the box down and came
to sign autographs. I told her the her rendition of Peter Allen's "I Could
Have Been A Sailor" is incredible. Why doesn't she do a "Peter Allen Lives"
Album.. what a combination.. Peter and Maureen. There IS a peter allen website
and I can guarantee lots of sales. Stay well Maureen and thank so much for
sharing your gifter voice and sweetness with all of us. My favorite song:
Geez.... the first song that hit my heart and soul was/is I Wouldn't Change
a Thing That Happened On My Way To you. May the peace of this season continue
through the year for you and those you hold dear. Lucille Lucille P.Loiselle

enjoyed listening to them. Take care and I hope to hear from you. Chris PS

Dear Ms. McG, Just in case you really do see these things -- 25 years ago,
I worked as a bartender in a bar/restaurant in Studio City, CA, called "Keith's
Cafe" (a gay establishment). We had a jukebox, and one of the selections was
your recording of "Can You Read My Mind?" But, I was elementally and essentially
taken with the "flip" side -- "You Love Me Too Late." I believe you wrote
the lyrics for this song. It has never appeared on any of your albums, yet
I have been captivated by this song since the first time I heard it. I have
periodically searched for it since -- in second-hand stores and on the Internet
(not continuously, mind you, but whenever memory has struck me -- 25 years!).
"Okay, Rex Dana, get to the point!" Two evenings ago, I had my e-bay "virgin"
experience, and I querried for this item (it took a while and some finagling,
I assure you), and I did find a 45 rpm copy of "Can You Read My Mind?" with
"You Love Me Too Late" on the "B" side. (Caveat Emptor! A reissue or concurrent
issue of the 45 rpm recording of "Can You Read My Mind?" has "Different Worlds"
as the "B" side!) I purchased the recording for $.99, can you believe it?
-- with a shipping/handling fee of $3.24! Those fools, this "lost" recording
is a bargain at any price! However, now it is, at long last, mine! I am hopeful
of attending your March 18, 2005, performance in the Paramount Theatre in
Rutland, Vermont. "Break a leg" with "Little Women."

Dearest Maureen, Just saw this on the website and it brought back such
memories. Sounds as if you're doing very well. I was trying to explain to
these young kids around here how we used to go see you sing all over the area.
We certainly miss seeing and hearing you. All is well here. Two of my children
are married and I have two beautiful grandchildren. The other two are home,
one is teaching and going for her master's degree and my other son lives at
home. Jean is fine and the grandmother of five. We're all still working and
taking care of mom. John is still teaching (I don't think he'll ever retire).
He would probably drive me crazy if he did. We'd love to hear from you so
if you're ever in town give us a call. I thought your sister, Patty, was still
in the area, but I could be wrong.

Dear Maureen - I saw you on Nov. 7th in Wilton, CT. Throughout the years
I've seen you perform many times at the Algonquin as well as other venues.
As one of many, I feel your voice is ethereal. We met at the end of your concert
and at the very end of your signing CD's where I had you sign your Arlen album.
My favorite singer singing my favorite songwriter. It doesn't get any better.
Your version of 'A Sleepin' Bee is just otherwordly! Thank you for recording
this little known gem. Finally, I was the person who told you of my then 5
year old daughter recognizing the song and your recording of 'Little Bluebird'
when she heard John Pizzarelli sing it back in 1999. I can't wait to introduce
her to your version of 'A Sleepin' Bee.'

Well, Mis Diva you outdone yourself this time ! I went to your Dallas concert
at the Myerson on Saturday night, was on the left hand side of the front row
and saw you being your usual magnificent self, you didn't sell yourself short
at all and the acapella version of My Funny Valentine was so haunting and
eerie like, I loved it as well as your comedic talents as well esp. your pre-menopausal
joke :) Would had stayed to have you sign a CD but I didn't bring any mine
with me, especially since I have almost every CD, album and 45 you put out
:) hehe .. I still can't wait to see you come again and then, hopefully I
will get to meet you at long last after being one of your truest fans since
1972. Good luck with Little Women, maybe you and Sutton will get nominated
for Tonys. Take care Diva Tim Culbertson

I just wanted to tell you how much my daughter and I enjoyed "Little Women."
We were at last night's performance. It is so encouraging to see a show that
both parent and child can appreciate. Your singing moved my heart. There is
a richness in your voice that cannot be imitated. The cast was outstanding,
and the show had just the right touch of humor. I only wish we would have
been able to thank you in person after the performance. I only wish you great
success throughout the performances at Duke and on Broadway. It looks like
you have a hit on your hands. Please let Sutton Foster and the rest of the

Hi Maureen, I was in the audience last night at the opening night of "Little
Women". What a wonderful experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
It is a first class Broadway production with fabulous sets, costumes, and
music. I am an employee of Duke University and was very proud that we sponsored
something so wonderful. Maureen, I'm originally from Boardman, Ohio and went
to BHS with you (one year behind you). Also your Aunt Helen worked with my
parents at Superior Beverage. I've enjoyed following your career throughout
the years and was thrilled to finally (!) see you in person last night. Your
acting and singing were flawless. Everyone in the cast had beautiful voices-
I especially loved Sutton Foster. I hope you enjoy the rest of your run here
in Durham and later on Broadway. Best of luck to you. Regards, Joy Fleming

I keep coming back to "Out of this World." I bought the CD after seeing
you in concert at Rainbow & Stars (before it closed!!). I was living in NYC
and went with a friend. Many times that evening, the audience just looked
at one another with expressions indicating that what they were experiencing
was simply unbelievable. You have such a unique way with these Carmichael/Arlen/Gershwin/you
name it songs! Now I'm living in Hell--Southern West Virginia, where my mother
needs my support. At least I have exquisite memories of your performance,
and many of your CDs. "Out of this World" is definitely the finest (in my
opinion). Lush in some places and quite sparing in others--but always just
perfect. I'm so very happy that you continue to perform and record and thrill
your many fans. Chuck P.S. So this should be a query? Okay, so of all your
albums, which is the most critically acclaimed? Which is your personal favorite?

The Music Never Ends. "I'll Never Say Goodbye". We hit the repeat
button on this one. Without exaggeration it has played on and on for a least
a dozen times. Neither of us wants to be the one to end it. The Bergmans along
with the talented Mike Renzi make this CD an absolute classic for all time.
I'll bet I have been responsible for the sale of at least a dozen of this
CD. Good health and God Bless.

I first heard "Nice To Be Around" I was hooked. Could you possibly
release a double CD of that album and your "Morning After album?

I have been looking for a copy of your song "This I Find Is Beautiful"
for over 20 years. I thought for a while I was going crazy because nobody
seemed to know what song I was talking about. It finally came up in one place
during an internet search tonight, and I found out that it was from your Morning
After album, which apparently is unavailable anywhere. Do you know of any
place where I can buy a copy of the recorded song?

Dear Maureen, This maybe kindda late but I still would like to thank you
for such a memorable experience, finally seeing and hearing you live on stage
at LE JAZZ AU BAR concert. Its a memory that we would all keep in our hearts.
Especially to my Mom along with my Aunt and Uncle who came here from Manila
and Australia. We were all planning this family gathering together to celebrate
Moms recovery from cancer. And how grateful she was after that evening most
especially for allowing yourself to have pixs with them and singing ARAW ARAW
GABI GABI to our amazement. Too bad I was the photographer that night. But
I'll do everything to cheer my Moms condition at this point. I'll have mine
next time hopefully. We Filipinos love and adore you so much. You are our
musical Icon. And hearing you live for the first time makes indeed such a
difference. We were all familiar with those standard pieces that you've included
in your repertoire but its like hearing it for the first time. What makes
it different, is you dont just sing your heart out, but you give your soul
along with it. And conveys the pain, the sorrow, the joy that goes along with
every each song. What a way of storytelling few great performers can only
deliver.I can still remember the Bacharach song which you have turn ito a
ballad. I surely wont miss the next oppurtunity to witness you again here
in NY area or maybe in New Hope. I have been your fan since AND THE ENVELOPE
PLEASE album for more than 30 yrs ago. You have the best rendition of FOR
ALL WE KNOW. I hope they would release again your first 4 albums in CD form.
That would be such a treat. And my favorite song is your national anthem-
THE MORNING AFTER especially the new arrangement in your WORK OF HEART cd.
And as for your Broadways LITTLE WOMEN, what a bday treat and Christmas gift
for me this December. We wish you all the success for your Broadway return.We're
already planning to buy early tickets for that show.All the best for you and
the entire cast. You are so gifted and such a warmth person. Again for everything,
thank you.... Sincerely, Raoul

Hi Maureen, Always knew you would go far. I love to tell friends that we
were in the choir at St. Dominic's with my sister Jeannette. We have been
so proud of you for years. I wish you would come back to the Cleveland area
for a performance. I missed you when you were at Willoughy Performing Arts
and Sr. Celine came out for your show. Come back please, Cleveland needs you.

Hi Maureen, I was walking down 52nd Street this morning and what to my
wandering eyes did appear, MAUREEN McGOVERN on the Marquee at the Virginia
Theater. What a surprise. I have enjoyed your Broadway performances in the
past. You have been gone much toooo long. So happy to see you are going to
be appearing in "Little Woman". Looking forward to seeing you on stage again.
Good Luck and God Bless you.

Hi Maureen, I have been a fan of yours for many years and I would
like to thank you for sharing your talents with all of us. I have a growing
collection of your work, however, I found out recently that you did a PBS
special in Janurary 1987 called Sentimental Swing: The music of Tommy Dorsey.
I think Mel Torme hosted the show. I have looked for this tape or video but
have had no luck. I even asked the UCLA film archives and they don't have
it. Yet when I type it in Google search engine your name is associated with
it via "Maureen McGovern Television." Sooo, I was wondering if you know how
and where I can get a copy of this special. Thanks again Maureen for your
giving all of us wonderful music and memories. Your loyal fan, Gary Freeman

Hi Maureen - I have long admired your wonderful voice and have listened
so many times to one of my favourite albums - "Naughty Baby" - no-one sings
Gershwin like you. I plan to be in New York City from November 3rd until November
17th and was hoping to catch one of your concerts. Can you advise if you're
in New York at that time. Warmest good wishes, Joan Hardy

Hi Maureen, I was one of the lucky ones to see your show last night. Amazing!
"I'd Rather Be Sailing" was so beautiful..."A House is Not a Home", on and
on. I can't pick a favorite . Your choice of songs and the way you changed
moods was outstanding. I only wish you had recorded that show LIVE so I could
listen to you sing each and every song again. You're a wonderful story teller.
Glad to hear you are coming back to Broadway this winter. You've been gone
way too long. God bless you and that amazing voice of yours.

(My favorite Maureen rendition is "Right as the Rain") Is there any chance
of Maureen's returning to the Garrison Keillor show for one or more guest
spots? Whenever she did appear, she turned a good show into a great one.

Dear Maureen: I just came home from seeing and hearing you at Au Bar in
NYC. You were wonderful! I have been to several of your shows with my wife,
and this time took my brother since she could not make this one. We just wanted
to tell you that you are such an inspiration to us since we are also musicians/singers.
If you are ever in the Queens/Nassau Long Island area, we would love for you
to come over to our house for a short visit and perhaps a cup of tea/coffee.
May God continue to bless you with many more years of good health and beautiful
singing. All my best, Tim Brown

Ms. McGovern, Your show is just fabulous. I am so lucky to have been there
last night. Didn't know you were also such a wonderful comedian. I had tears
in my eyes laughing as you sang "Lime Jello". "Sailing" is such a beautiful
song. You must record it. Can't wait to see you in "Little Women". Never saw
you in an acting role but know you must be awsome if last night was any indication
of what you can do. Good luck to you. Nicole

What a beautiful night! Last night's opening of the new show was the most
incredible evening I spent. What a better way to spend a warm summer night,
(though there was rain, which seems to be evident in many of her opening nights).
With a vast variety of songs from a vast variety of composers both living
and deceased, plus some new stuff, it was an evening to remember. Having seen
all hers shows since 1982, she always manages to thrill, each one having a
little extra special. The audience didn't stop cheering and never wanting
it to end. She took each song, many that you have many times, and makes them
sound as if they were written onlly for her. This beaufiful but quaint room,
has everything to offer, and a great menu to boot. Run, don't walk, to not
miss this latest presentation. Maryann PS HOW LUCKY WE ARE!!!!!

My husband and I have been a fan for many years and throughly enjoyed your
Aug. 8 concert on Cape Cod. LOVED the song "Lime Green Jello". What is the
actual title? Have you recorded it somewhere? How can I get the lyrics? I
don't/can't sing...would just enjoy reading them over again...they were soooo
funny!

Please come back soon to Odette's. I am an avid follower of yours for many
years. Have introduced you to many friends all of who marvel at your crystal
clear dulcet tones. I heard you had a bit of sore throat Saturday night, but
none of us could tell. Loved the show. Your song selection, arrangements and
delivery are always the best.You make it look easy. Too many great songs are
never heard today. Thanks for making listening a joy again.

Run, don't walk to get tickets to see Ms. McGovern's new Cabaret Show.
She is definitely THE consummate performer! What range, what versatility,
what a wonderful instrument she has. It is hard to pick a favorite from the
show. The show is sultry and fun. If you missed Ms. McGovern at "Odettes"
and want to spend a fabulous evening with a great talent, get to Au Bar in
New York City, and see Maureen's new Cabaret show. It is fabulous.

I have been a long time fan and I play your CD's over and over. I gues
my favorite song is the theme song from "Superman Movie". Such a beautiful
song. I saw you in concert in 1992 with Mel Torme. I took my mother for her
birthday. She had been ill for a long time, she passed away 4 months later.
But I have such wonderful memories of your concert and how my mom loved it
so much! I am so happy that I took her that night and how it gave her so much
happiness. Would love you see you again in concert soon. Sincerely, Becky

After being a fan for thirty years, I finally had the opportunity to see
Maureen live last night at the Cabaret at Odette's. Her performance exceeded
all expectations. What a voice, and what a consummate performer! I was staggered
by her range and versatility, as well as her gift for scat singing! She made
each song into a moving three-act play. While the highlights were too many
to name, I was blown away by her rendition of "Anyone Who Had a Heart". The
ferocity and intensity with which she delivered this Bacharach song made me
feel as if I were hearing it for the first time. Thank you, Maureen, for a
memorable evening!

about your "pets/children" on the site. Do you have any new babies?? I would
love to see pictures!! If you need to slow down from your busy schedule, drop
on down to St. Pete and we'll put you up in our cottage! Hope to see you in
