Merle was fantastic tonight at her ArsNova show!

Beautiful voice, beautiful woman, it was so nice to see her sing some of her favorite songs. And not in a gorilla costume, though she did sing her showtunes barefoot because that's how she likes it now. :)

I loved her Elaborate Lives from Aida and Midnight Train to Georgia.


Anyone else go?

Oh my God, she sang Elaborate Lives? I was thisclose to going. That makes me sad that I didn't.

What else did she sing? She has such an incredible voice.

A work of art is an invitation to love.

There were lots of special guests as well- her backup singers were Rachel Stern, Stacy McClesky, Natalie Silverlieb, Horace Rogers, and then special guests were Chester Gregory, Destan Owens, and Manoel Felciano.

All fantastic!

aww i wish i could've gone!

A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it, but all she really dreams is to make someone else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer. And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

I was there. Merle was FANTASTIC!! Sara Brown Eyes, Midnight Train to Georgia, Elaborate Lives, I am a Woman (showstopper!), and a personal favorite of mine, The Hidden Sky.

Wonderful set. Merle is an engaging, beautiful performer.

It was a great show--her Elaborate Lives was beautiful. Some cute stories, particularly the one with the Korean Christmas carols. =)

I found it especially nice that Merle literally hugged every single person on the way out the door--she's an incredibly talented, beautiful woman.

Merle was UNBELIEVABLE tonight. She never fails to amaze me with her talent. My favorites were The Hidden Sky, I am a Woman and Elaborate Lives (which by the way TOTALLY made me shed a tear or 2...)

Oh, and that Korean Christmas carols part was awesome also!
