I'm back! It's been a long 30 hours, but I guess I got a lot done!
Saturday's 9:30 was better than Fridays. The crowed was pretty diverse. There were some older women, the tweens, and some couples. When she took the stage she said something about enjoying the late show because there were actually people over 14...and she didn't have to cringe when using 4 letter words or worry about mom's getting pissed off...and it was up hill from there. She was so relaxed.
She brought her camera on stage and started taking random pictures. She also showed girls that have a "big schnoz" how to take a picture...then she walked around actually taking pictures with people.
A definite highlight was when she stepped away from the microphone to sing "Company." It was just her voice in purest form, with nothing but a piano backing her.
Like A Prayer is amazing. She sings the hell out of this song. The arrangement is amazing. She had the whole place singing with her.
Today I saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at 3. Norbert is still the man. I thought the new lottery seats were okay, nothing more, nothing less. We were in box BB, which is the second of three on the right...which I guess is the best box to be in. My friend and I won back to back so the 4 of us ended up sitting together so I guess that was a win.
Now, I'm headed to bed, but I promised an update when I got back from NYC!
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH!
