I'm pretty sure in these concert series she has been doing the usual songs from her repertoire: "No One Is Alone," "Time Heals Everything," "Not a Day Goes By," etc and added some new ones "Let Me Entertain You" (opening the show), "Rose's Turn" (in place of "Some People" I believe), "Fever," and "There Is Nothing Like a Dame." I'm sure someone can give you an actual song list though.

Song list (from her concert in Raleigh, May 12: I was there but did not write down what she sang, so this may be incomplete, and the list is not entirely in order):

Opening overture
Let Me Entertain You
No One Is Alone
Nothing Like a Dame
Fever
Gentleman Is a Dope
Unexpected Song
Some Enchanted Evening
Shenandoah
When I Marry Mr. Snow
With So Little To Be Sure Of
Not a Day Goes By
You Could Drive a Person Crazy
Being Alive
[Break for a minute-walks off stage]
Rose's Turn
Count Your Blessings (her usual ending, not sung at this concert)

This concert (Raleigh) was about 10 minutes shorter than her usual 90 minutes, so you will probably also hear:

Children Will Listen
Move On
Time Heals Everything

"How is she"...in Raleigh she looked spectacular, as good as I've ever seen her (11 concerts, too many Gypsys, AGYG). Her voice was quite good, none of the hoarseness or "crackling" that occasionally appears. Good energy level, very relaxed.

I'd love to hear about the Nashville concert.

I am so jealous of you guys in the US. She tours extensively in your country. I saw her beck in 1998 at the Royal Albert Hall, with Cameron Mackintosh sat behind me. In fact, it was the night they filmed it for the DVD. It was one of the best nights of my life, she was amazing. I'd love to see her again.

Ooh cool! I'll definitely tell my parents to request inside if they're ushering.

Oh wait...it's probably at the Schermerhorn, right? They don't usher there. Only at TPAC.

Yes, it's at the Schermerhorn Symhony Center, Nashville.

SAT - JUN 23 - 8 PM

Yeah. I forget that's just been opened. Hmm... I wonder if they have anniversary plans...?

She will be in Cincy on Aug. 18th. I can't wait. Already have my tickets. It's a BCEFA benefit, so I splurged on VIP tix's that include a meet & greet w/Bernadette post show.

The theme will be as follows:

She comes on stage, butchers some great songs, butchers some awful songs, butchers some Sondheim, and goes home with a big fat paycheck.

Go figure.

Which are the awful songs?

I agree with Fenchurch.

No, No, No...
she would never be a butcher ...

But would she consider scaling and gutting?
