How were all your holidays? Christmas loot was decent this year. The bulk of it was kitchen supplies, which I needed, along with some clothes and a set of wireless land line telephones. Let's just say it was a holiday to fix up my apartment ever so slightly. Didn't get much frivolous and/or fun gifts (i.e. DVDs, Electronics, Theatre Tickets, Gift Cards). With my mom, practical gifts get top priority, which I understand since I am 27 after all. Nevertheless, my dad and I went shopping post-Christmas for an external hard drive (750 GIGS BABY!) and I did get some ca$h which eventually helped to sate the inner child...
...which brings me to news about this weekend. One of my purchases was tickets to see none other than Kristin Chenoweth at the Fox Theatre. The St. Louis Symphony will be backing up the diminutive coloratura-soprano-turned-broadway-belter/diva this Saturday evening. I have no idea what she's singing, but I hope that whatever she does, she includes the song featured in the video below.
(BTW, don't you think she should return to her abandoned opera aspirations at least to explore Despina in Cosi or Adele in Fledermaus? The MET had her tapped for Ghosts of Versailles next year, but the economy snuffed that out. Even if a Despina or Adele were a crashing failure, at least they would have tried. I'm sure they'd want to do something about her fast vibrato pulse, tho.)
Oh, I'm so excited!!! To my knowledge, the last time Kristin was ever in St. Louis was with the pre-Broadway tryout of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown--for which she later won a Tony! Could it be that she views the Fox as a good luck charm?!? Probably not, but I would like to think so. Expect a review on Sunday or later!
