Okay, so I was given a pair of tickets to see the Donny and Marie Christmas Show at the Oriental theatre in Chicago. So, I took my mother knowing this was going to be a tough Christmas for us and thought it would bring a little fun and cheer. The seats were second row center and during one of those predictable audience participation moments, Marie chose a man to join her on stage to sing and dance in a good-natured moment of silliness. Well, that man was ME! And being a long-time admirer of this good-natured brother/sister performing act as well as embracing my inner dork, I had SO MUCH FUN! More importantly, my mom was overjoyed. The audience was encouraged to give me a standing ovation (that's going on my resume) and we were invited to meet Donny backstage after the show. And yes, even up close, he looks AMAZING for his age.
Even without the surprise command performance, the show itself really is highly entertaining and they still know how to work the audience with charisma, talent and charm. And the extra bonus turned this year around for us by giving us a jubilant and unforgettable experience for which I'll always be grateful.
Thanks to both Donny and Marie!
