Whatever Wednesday - Sing Ladies, Sing

Well  -Thanks Dad!   I treated myself to a fabulous  afternoon at the Meyerson  Symphony Hall in Dallas on Sunday March 30th.  Pretty much any entertainment these days, I say "Thanks Dad".  I  got  a  nice  inheritance  and I'm doing  stuff my dad  would  have liked.  This particular afternoon  was amazing, fabulous, and right up his alley - Show  tunes

the picture above is the  amazing Lay organ.  It was  not  used in  this production,  but still  dramatically pretty. 

So, yes I had an orchestra seat to hear Kelli  O'Hara AND Sutton Foster  sing  Broadway tunes and  more on a Sunday afternoon.  Does  life  get any better?  This was  a show they did  at Carnegie Hall.  Then they decided more of America  deserved  to  hear this and Dallas was their first touring booking. Wow!!!!!!

Voices soared. Kelli's soprano is angelic. "If  I loved you"  from Carousel was ethereal.   It  was so gorgeous in  this music hall. I got verklempt - truly a bit  teary.  My dad  would  have loved this. 

And  Sutton  singing  "Anything Goes"  and  doing  the original tap dance routine. OMG. Divine. 

It was an absolutely perfect  two hours.  I had goosebumps. 




 Here's the song list.  Divine unity of voices.  

thanks, Dad.  Love ya and miss you SO much.

    1. Very sweet of you. It’s tough, but I’m enjoying some special moments that I know we’d have enjoyed together. He used to visit 1-2 times a year.
