Renee Elise Goldsberry in concert was the grand finale event for my previous Sunday. This was after my DMA and Nasher art strolls. At 3 pm at the Myerson Symphony Hall, she appeared with a small band (piano, drums, guitar, bass, and backup singers) to sing. Oh my, this Tony Award winner gave quite a performance. Just lovely.
She opened with "On a Clear Day" and that transitioned to "I Can See Clearly Now (The Rain is Gone)". From there, she spoke briefly about the past two years - pandemic, protests, war - and declared "Let's enjoy music and have some joy in this world." She is doing her part!
From soul to pop to Broadway, her voice covers the gamut. She did appear as Nala on Broadway in The Lion King, as Mimi in Rent, and best of all as the original Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton. Her numbers from that show brought down the house.
Renee Elise Goldsberry shared her voice and energy with us for two hours. Joyous!
Sounds like a great time was had, how I long to get to a concert again.
