The show was truely amazing.
It was a bit shaky at first. Wally Harper Ms. Cooks long time friend and collaborator past away on Oct. 8th and this was the first time she has done the show since. So on a few songs (What Will I Do?) she broke down into tears. Somehow she dug down and found the courage and strength to finish that set.
"Glitter and be Gay" was the high point of the evening.
Dave and I were laughing at the fact that Ms Cooks resume looks like (not to mention the facial structure!) another perky blode that just sang the role of Cunegonde.
All in all a great evening. Some wonderful stories of working with Robert Preston, and meeting Gary Cooper, and NOT Maria Callas.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
