Good Evening!
The Bernstein concert was quite good as expected. The first half consisted of the "Classical" Bernstein, while the second half consisted of the "Musical Theatre" Bernstein. Alas, I think a little bit of "mixing" would have been a good thing, since most of the first half consisted of some "heavy" material, and was basically "ballad" heavy. But still some wonderful music-making and singing.
The highlight of the second half for me was Cheyenne Jackson singing "Lucky To Be Me". I swear, just when I don't think he could sound any better - or look any better - he just manages to surprise me again! One of the other highlights was "We Are Women" from the London version of Candide performed by Vicki Clark and Kelli O'Hara. Oh, and the double finale of "Some Other Time" with Cheyenne Jackson, Christine Ebersole, Michael Cerveris and Donna Murphy, followed by the full company singing "Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide - which, as always, made me cry.
