The Who's Tommy Reunion Concert

Tommy Reunion concert was the perfect way to end my college semester and the year 2008. Billy Elliot is one of the most beautiful events I have ever witnessed. Pal Joey I would of passed up after seeing it. All About Eve, Angela Lansbury brought down the house when she could not read a line correctly (CLASSIC). Mamma Mia Movie premiere was nice cause I got some of the blue carpet from the ceramony and met Bjorn (ABBA) and Meryl Streep. Gypsy I sat in second row orchestra, i was in awe as patti stared at me while performing Rose's Turn.
