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:

The second half can only be better than the first… 11 songs in the first half? Hopefully it will go fast.

At intermission, after Alexander’s House:

Well, I don’t know how Jennifer Holliday will top that.

Well, they ought to be ashamed of themselves! That is no way to end a season… I think their voices have to be shrill to do what the music was composed to do… Well they did it cuz it’s his 80th birthday.
