Evita LIVE!

This post is going to sound totally gay, but I do not care!

I just got home from an evening at Orchestra Hall. My friend Alison, who works at the Chicago Tribune and is the gate keeper to many a great event scored tickets to the 2006 Benefit Concert for the JCC (Jewish Community Center) of Chicago. Patti Lupone performed her new concert, Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda which were parts she could have played, would have played, should have played or one day will play.

The event took place at Orchestra Hall and featured Patti Lupone and Members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. I had really hoped she would not sing Evita, how cliche would that be?! Well, she did. And it sent goose bumps though me, and a chill down my spine! It was amazing, chilling and more than I had imagined it would be. It was a true Broadway moment right from 1979 hearing her sing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina."
