Ok, so I really don't review things, but I just felt the need to explain how much fun I had as well as an incident that happened tonight.
I went to Patti's Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda concert tonight at the WIlliamsburg Lodge. Now, she did two concerts today, one at 5:30 and one at 7:30, each an hour and I went to the 7:30. They made it VERY clear you weren't supposed to take ANY pictures of ANY kind. This was expected.
So, she came out and explained how the night would work and she sang English Teacher from Bye Bye Birdie... I love this woman. Seriously, that's one of my favorite songs from BBB and she rocked it.
Basically, I am sure she did songs she usually does but tonight, there were two little flubs.
First, something was in the piano, so when the pianist played down low it rattled, and I am pretty sure it wasn't there when she had the first concert because they were really surprised when it first happened but he (the pianist) adapted and did well with it.
Second, during Meadowlark, she was halfway through the song when she had some sort of hiccup and it threw her off guard and then a few seconds later she stopped the song and got really confused and lost her place. It was kinda funny lol so then she asked where a good place to pick back up would be and the pianist told her and then she continued... that was one of the highlights of the evening.
I found that the songs from roles she had played were more emotional and she connected more than the ones from roles she wishes she could have played. They were all good still.
Oh, and when she sang Being Alive, I seriously got goosebumps. Amazing. Perfection. This concert was so much fun but I am sad that she was only given an hour to perform
She gave an A cappella encore at the very end. SO good.
Ok I am done. This concert was amazing. End of story.

I hope to get to see her perform as Patti someday
