Overheard in the Theatre

Overheard at the GMCW concert And I Am Telling You, Lisner Auditorium, Washington DC 6/05/11
Featuring the world premiere of Alexander’s House in the first half, special appearance by Jennifer Holliday in the second half.
Orchestra center aisle, from the two sitting right behind us.

Before the concert:

At intermission, after Alexander’s House:
