It gave me great satisfaction to see someone that young and that talented.<br>And that Professional!!<br>That was the key to the evening. It connected to the audience and kept us enthralled and engaged.<br>When Raissa told me it was thrown together I was stunned. BRAVA Raissa and all involved.<br>The evening was balanced with great humor, syle and sensational singing.<br>The evening was a grand success; From the Zany antics , amazing vocals and humorous original songs written by SUNSET BLVD colleague Rosemary Loar, the twisted fun of ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE delivered flawlessly tongue in cheek by Kristin Huffman to the poignant and heartfelt renditions by Tanya Walker Davidson, Candy Benge and Maureen Hamill along with a grand fun sparring turn of GLITTER AND BE GAY by Raissa and Candy that left us in hysterical laughter; we couldn't have asked for more!<br>All that was topped off by some wonderful and talented gents who did comedy, sang and took us to some terrific stories of hearing impaired problems and pet perfect purrings.<br>This is a show that should be preformed more and should be shared with a wider audience.<br>I certrainly will be there again!!<br>Break the Leg and ALL THE BEST to Raissa and her wonderful dedication to this charity and to DAMN GOOD PERFOMRING!!<br><br>Much Love and High Notes<br><br>Sal Mistretta<br><br>Alumni of<br> SWEENEY TODD/EVITA/CATS/SUNSET BLVD/ CABARET and a few LAW &ORDERS =0-)<br><br>www.salmistretta.comKEYBOREDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08962811205186904190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685487159623971167.post-49223980415491240522009-04-15T09:49:33.833-07:002009-04-15T09:49:33.833-07:00ps: In my enthusiasm I neglected the superb Pianis...ps: In my enthusiasm I neglected the superb Pianist and Musical Direction of MARK JANAS.<br>OOPS Sorry Mark.<br><br>AND RAISSA..<br>CONGRATULATIONS ON THE MAC AWARD NOMINATION!!<br><br>And forgive some misspellings!KEYBOREDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08962811205186904190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685487159623971167.post-35596915593177937812009-04-16T15:51:53.370-07:002009-04-16T15:51:53.370-07:00Who sang and which songs did they sing?Who sang and which songs did they sing?Larry & Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06633298131268514167noreply@blogger.com
