I posted this last night, well down in another thread, and by light of day realized that it would get lost in the shuffle. So here it is again, in its own thread:

Okay, so I couldn't wait and went to tonight's show with another BWW friend. I had seen Robbie last week at SO3 and knew he was good, but tonight he ran circles around anything I could have imagined. He's got the requisite big voice and stage presence, but he's also got that extra something that great performers seem to have been born with...watching him, you know you're seeing something special. He crafted a show that is funny and entertaining, but also personal and touching. His song selection showcased an impressive range of musical styles. Robbie breathed new life into songs I never knew could be sung a different way. I don't want to give anything away, but seriously, if you don't have reservations for one of the remaining two shows, do whatever you can to get your name on the list. Robbie's gonna be a star.

Robbie's performance was nothing short of wonderful. The man has talent, personality and a great stage presence. You're right about the song selection and the fact that he brings a fresh, new feel to the songs he performs. I feel honored to have been there to see the start of what will be a quickly rising star. Congratulations Robbie.

I wish I had known you were there, Iflit. I would have tried to stop and say hello. As it was, I had to leave quickly just as the show ended and didn't even have the opportunity to say hello to Robbie. I'm sure he was extremely busy with well wishers and newly aquired fans.

Get OUT!! Nina! Where were you sitting? We were way up in front. I can't believe you were there and I didn't get to meet you. Any chance you'll be there next week, too?

I was SOOOO tempted to go on Saturday night also! Especially when my original plans for the weekend were changed. DARN! I wish I had!

Thanks for posting iflit... I just can't wait for the 30th!

Bump.

Nope, not a shill...just an enthusiastic appreciator of Robbie's talent...

Anyone who knows you (and everyone should!) would know you're not a shill, Iflit.
I think we should all wear t-shirts that says something like, "BWW loves RobbieJ!" this weekend.

Being the self appointed President of the shill police, we know you're no shill. I'm thrilled for Robbie and sad that I was not able to join you, as I sometimes do Iffliti. And am not the least bit surprised at the raves.

I'd also like to thank a special surprise audience member who may wish to remain nameless...

Oh, who was it? Marc Shaiman? Stephanie D'Abruzzo? VoiceAnth? Would we know this person's name? Did He/She attend the after party?

Alas, no...they did not attend the after party!
