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.
That's awesome you are doing things your father would've enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky he was an arts and music kind of guy. ( no wrestling, thank God! Ha).
Deletethecontemplativecat here. thanks, Dad, indeed. Love that organ!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a gorgeous concert hall with very rich sound.
DeleteThat's just great you are doing things that your father would have liked. Thanks Dad - I can so relate. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteVery 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.
