Anyone else see this? It was FABULOUS! Kelli was amazing as always, the songs were perfect, Michael Bolton randomly appeared, the NY Pops are beautiful, and her dresses were fantastic!

Go Kelli!

Brian was a special guest! It was fantastic to see them sing together.

Okay a moderate review, but because I was like in a daze for the whole show it will be what I remember...lol.

The Pops played an opening number from Funny Girl. Afterwards Kelli came bounding onstage wearing a fabulous dark blue strapless gown. Simply elegant. She laughed and talked about the music and her love of broadway. Rob Fisher (conductor) and her are great friends and it was nice to see them together. She sang some beautiful music (which I will list below) and was amazing as always! Her duets with Brian blew me away. It was too cute:P

Before the second act Michael Bolton...haha yes...came out and presented some high school music teachers awards. It was random, but kewl.

The second act was brief, but once again fantastic. Kelli changed into a simple strapless black dress with some white designs and it was marvelous. The Pops put on a great show with Kelli. She even did an encore of what else?? "I Could Have Danced All Night!"

Okay if that makes sense...that's the show!

Songs:
Orchestral - Funny Girl Overture, Symphonic Dances (West Side Story), Chicago Suite, Show Boat Overture, No, No, Nanette Overture.
Kelli and sometimes Brian - Wonderful Guy (South Pacific), Make Someone Happy (Do Re Mi), Is It Too Late? (My Life With Albertine), The Light In The Piazza, I Have Dreamed (The King And I), What More Do I Need? (Saturday Night), and I Could Have Danced.

I think that was it from what I can remember and what my Playbill says:P
