What an amazing show! They are playing again at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on November 10. For anyone who is a fan of either of these ladies please do yourself a favor and make a reservation! Andre Ward apparently thought he could show up without a reservation and he was left out on the street! BTW Jackie Hoffman was in the audience tonight as well.

I am SOOO jealous of everyone who got to see this show!! "In Trousers" is in my top 5 faves of all time, so to see the two of them toegther would be a DREAM!

TheRyanOconnerShow, "Set Those Sails" is one of my favorite Mary Testa performances. Also, I forgot to mention Annie Golden last night. She was also fabulous! I would love to see the show again, but I don't think I will be able to make it.

Both are very talented performers. On Alison Fraiser's first cd, she does a great version of "The Blonde Song" from Gunmetal Blues.

I have seen Alison Fraser in Gypsy, other than that I hadn't heard her sing before, but she was fantastic last night. I'm a huge fan of Mary Testa as you probably have surmised by now so, I tend to go on and on about her performance and forget about everyone else. But really I can't say enough about the whole show- just amazing.

It's a wonderful, wonderful show--a tribute to the music of Alison's late and talented husband, Rusty McGee, and also a tribute to the enduring friendship of these tqo incredibly talented women.

The night I saw it, Annie Golden got up and did one of Rusty's songs, with Alison and Mary doing backup!

Go, go, go, go, go!
