This has been a busy and eventful year with so much happening in the world and in politics. Like so many of us I have been caught up in day to day events which means I have neglected my blog! But no more so as a start ...
yesterday we got caught up in town in the deluge!! We had no choice as we were going to see LadyDay.... it was worth getting drenched - this was a truly memorable occasion -
Audra McDonald was superb acting her way through the rise and fall of Billie Holiday in a nightclub setting which spilled over into the audience. A truly talented lady who can act but more importantly can sing like Holiday - we were transfixed by her emotional and authentic performance - exhausted by the end as we got caught up in the raw deal she had in life. Tickets expensive...but worth every penny - you get what you pay for....
If we had one minor criticism it would have been preferable to have had a brief interval which would not have interfered with the story ...
