“Liza’s at the Palace...!”
December 12th show review!
The question that must be asked first is this, “Was it worth waiting at the Air Port for a delayed plane for four hours just to see this show? The answer: HELL YES!!!
It was a rough trip getting to NY from Fla. but it was all worth it!
Thursday, I arrived at Newark air port four hours later then I was suppose to and was so anxious for the next day. I woke up extremely early on Friday morning, the day of the show was soooooo anxiously awaiting 8 PM!
Around six I came into the city and met up with my two friends and then headed over to The Palace... I purchased the souvenir program, t-shirt, sweater, and the new album that I have been waiting two years for J I think they gave me something for free without realizing it.... Oh well, anyway...
The C.D. Is amazing! I am really happy that there are new songs and our favorite old songs rerecorded on the C.D. I am very please with the recordings of the Kay act above all! It was done so beautifully .
So we took our seats, people behind us wouldn’t shut the heck up... The show opened with the New York, New York overture which I love! Then Liza went right into singing one of my new favorite songs, “Teach me tonight”. The first act was great! I got emotional when Liza song “Maybe this time” as I often do and then, finally the second act came and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I’ve seen pieces of it while Liza and the boys were on tour, and they have really done a great job at creating a Broadway masterpiece that will definitely win a Tony!
The best thing that happened that whole night was what happened at the stage door...
I got to meet my new friend, Cortes Alexander who plays Don Williams in Liza’s act and he recognized me right away! He even seemed so happy to see me! He is such a great guy. He signed my copy of his solo album “Swell” and took a photo with me. The rest of the night I couldn’t stop saying, “Oh wow I met Cortes.” It was so great!
On Monday night I was going to meet my friends some where on 42nd when my attention was caught by Birdland. I was like, “oh wow I’ve always wanted to go there.” So I made my way over to the place which at first looked closed, then I saw that there was a show that evening in just twenty min! I text messaged my friend and told him he should meet me there. Then all of a sudden, Cortes walks up to me from out of know where and I was like in complete shock! Of course he recognized me right away and shook my hand. He is such a great guy! He told me that Liza had called him and told him to meet him there that evening. He went inside and my friend finally got in touch with me and told me that he was going to be a while but to go ahead and get a table anyway. So I went inside and sat down by myself and as I’m sitting drinking my diet coke, Liza walks in and sits with Cortes right across from me. I nearly died! It was such a funny coincidence!
I was hoping to say hello to Liza after the show, but unfortunately she had already gone. Then I went out side to call my uncle to tell him where I was and that I’m okay, then some weirdo came up to me and tried to sell me pot which I thought was really funny and said, “No thank you” and said, “Get me the heck outta here” I went back inside to Birdland and bumped into Jim Caruso who remembered me from talking to him before online. He was so nice and I told him what a wonderful thing he has going on here. “Jim Caruso’s cast party.” For those who don’t know already.
So overall it was a pretty “Swell” trip and I was so glad to meet Cortes!
