Take That Look Off Your Face
- Take That Look Off Your Face
"Take That Look Off Your Face" is the title of a hit song by musical theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Collaborating with lyricist Don Black, it was written for the song cycle show "Tell Me on a Sunday" in 1978. It was sung and released by Marti Webb in 1980, and became a hit in the UK charts. Later, "Tell Me" was combined with another Lloyd Webber work, "Variations", to form an entire new show, "Song and Dance".
The song is about a woman being told of her boyfriend's infidelity. The woman denies this fact and sends her newsbearer (a girlfriend) off.This number is usually followed by the show's title song, "Tell me on a Sunday".
As of 2006, there have been several recordings of this song, along with the whole show:
*Marti Webb's version for the 1980 album "Tell Me on a Sunday".
*Another Marti Webb version in the first night recording of the original London production of "Song and Dance" in 1982.
*Bernadette Peters' rendition in the 1985 Broadway Cast Recording of "Song and Dance".
*The most recent version by Denise Van Outen for the reworked version of "Tell Me on a Sunday" in 2003.Also, Sarah Brightman performed the song when "Song and Dance" was broadcast in the UK in 1984.The lyrics where also used in the French & Saunders TV Show as part of a sketch were the words from the chorus where used between Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as the body of the script, deliberate and hilarious.
