Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Today (actually, as soon as my friend Margo comes to pick me up), I am going down to Portland to see Margo's daughter Alexis in her own cabaret show!  We're going to have dinner and then watch Alexis perform the show that she put together on her own.  Here's her description:

Quote
Alexis Moore Eytinge Performs Cabaret Marital Status: Not Married a.k.a. Single. Alexis has put together a variety of songs and quip to chronicle the heart and mind's relationship with love. With Yvette Starkey accompanying her on the piano and the delicious restaurant and bar it will be a delightful evening!

Tonight, I saw Alexis' show, "Not Married a.k.a. Single" about her experiences in the dating pool...the good, the bad and the just okay (there were no horrible experiences...she's only 27 years old).  BK, you've always said that a one-person show like this has to have a point.  Well, she talks about having taken a class on how to put together one-person shows and needing a through-line, and she had it.  She talked about her dating experiences, and all the songs (for the most part) really worked with the stories she told.  It had a beginning, middle, an unnecessary break (if you ask me) and an end.

She has a lot of experience performing in shows and choir concerts and talent shows, so she was very confident and comfortable on stage.  It does need an outside eye to hone and focus it, but I think it could work really well with some help.  The crowd was definitely friends and family, but fortunately there was no hootin' and hollerin'...just some well deserved applause.  Also, no automatic standing ovation.  The audience showed appropriate appreciation.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable show.

I wish I had a song list.  There were only four or five songs that I didn't recognize (and I liked all the songs), but Marsha (Margo's friend who came with us) said that she didn't know many songs at all and probably would've enjoyed it more if she did know more of them.  Oh, well.  You can't please everyone.
