Just so you guys can see how lovely the venue is. (The cabaret space is in that gorgeous restaurant/loft area.)

Oh man, Bets Malone is doing this?

I just saw her play Annie in Annie Get Your Gun in San Diego and she was fierce. She is a wonderful performer.

I shave me Xanadu every morning!

What?

No Michael Arden singing PIPPIN, Dang.

Sounds like a fun night,
Eden's MEADOWLARK should be a highlight.

Wow. This concert looks amazing. The lineup of performers in unreal. Erika, very exciting that you get to take part in such a cool event. Congrats! Godspell is one of my favorites. I would so be there if I lived on that coast. Hope everyone going has fun. Report back!

I can report that the evening was, to quote the night's honoree, 'Wonderful!'

First and foremost, Erika killed with a sultry, sexy "Turn Back O Man", complete with a jazzy, New Orleans-flavored trumpet joining the 3 piece band. I had the good fortune of sitting at a table right behind SS and he seemed very taken with Erika, as were we all.

The night had other standout performances, including Kevin Earley's powerful "Out There" and Eden Espinoza's stunning version of "Meadowlark". There were a couple of hiccups, including a few performers stumbling over their words, but could you blame them? How unnerving it must be to stand mere feet from a musical theater legend and sing his songs!

Bruce Vilanch was way underprepared and was a bit of an embarrasment, and frankly it was an insult to all the wonderfully talented performers who took the time and care to know their stuff. This was my first time at this venue, and the efforts to recreate a NYC supper club for the most part payed off. But WHY oh why must the staff wait until an intimate moment in a performance to start shuffling plates and making cocktails. Here's a thought: Stop for 3 minutes and enjoy something amazing. The hootch can wait! But I digress.

A great night with Erika as a standout (when has she NOT been first rate!)

Wow! Thank you so much, singingbackup! *blush*

A few people have sent me some cool pics from the show. I still don't know how to post multiple pics in one post, though, so here we go, one at a time. This first one's me.

Well gosh darn it, Erika, you didn't mention that there were going to be boas!

Thanks, Popular! How was the reading you went to?

And yes, of course I simply had to have a boa... Isn't that a requirement to sing the song?
