Betty Buckley—Broadway By Request

Betty Buckley made her Broadway debut in 1969 and has been called "The Voice of Broadway" by New York Magazine.

Her rendition of "Memory" in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats established her reputation and she has recorded 13 solo albums and now tours extensively across the U.S. each year. She is also composed most of the songs on her first recording and has been featured on many Broadway compilation recordings. She earned a Tony Award for her performance as Grizabella, the Glamour Cat in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, a second Tony nomination for her performance in Triumph of Love and an Olivier Award for the London performance as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

Her most recent albums, Quintessence and 1967, were released by Playbill Records in February 2008. Quintessence features jazz arrangements of standards by her long time collaborator, jazz pianist Kenny Werner. 1967 is a recording made when Miss Buckley was just 19, produced by T-Bone Burnett. On television, Ms. Buckley is perhaps best known for the 1977–81 TV dramedy Eight is Enough where she was cast as "Abby", who went on to become stepmother to the eight children to which the series' title refers. Her other television credits include Evergreen, Without a Trace, OZ, The Pacific, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Melrose Place, Ride-Along and Monk . Patchogue Theatre presents "Betty Buckley; Broadway On request", where Ms. Buckley will take requests from the theatre patrons.
