So I don't forget, theater, movies, concerts and interesting people I've met. It's a good life, from now on. Damn I'm lucky.

Broadway Backwards

Concept: Sing a song your particular gender would never be able too.
Ok, Seth Rudetsky, he is "wet-your-pants" funny. The best MC out there.
And the performers:
Michael McElroy: We saw him in Big River last year. Big voice, sang One Night Only. If it were any slower, no one else would have had time to go on.
Andrea McArdel: I love her voice, but come on, learn the song. Lazy lazy lazy, and really unprofessional.
Julie Wilson: Same thing, I know you are in your 80's and you sang in the same circles as Billie Holiday, but learn the damn song.
Karen Mason: Gorgeous voice. Great performance of "I've grown accustomed.."
Steven Brinberg: Fun voice work on "I'm Still Here". That is what the audience wanted. Laugh or knock-your-socks-off singing.
Pamela Myers: I thought, the best of the evening, singing "Someone is Waiting". I couldn't' believe I met her. Goose bumps.
Alice Playten: Bad song, hard to follow PM
Charles Busch: I saw him do a one man show in Key West many years ago. It was his life story. I was mezmerized. It was a performance I will never forget. Last night He sang "Bill" and I was taken in all over again. He is a fantastic and versatle actor, and lovley in person.
Christine Pedi: She is so funny and has such a strong voice. She should play Phyllis Newman in a move one day. She looked just like her last night.
Andrea Burns: "Maria" Eh, pretty voice, whatever.
Matt Cavenaugh and Cheyenne Jackson: No one know what to do after they kissed. There was something a little porn about it. Sexy, but a little gimicky and weird. Great voices, and Cheyenne is a matinee idol waiting to happen.
Harvey Evans and Kurt Peterson: Silly and fun. The song was completely unrehearsed, but who cars, They were in Follies. They can do anything they want.
Two other performances, 3 girls, then another male duet. Forgettable.
Fun evening on awful chairs. Here's to the GL community Center. Good job.
Met Donna McKechnie, Harvey Evans, Kurt Peterson and Karen Mason after the show. Very cool.
