LOS
ANGELES, CA This one-woman show breaks your heart, and moments
later you're giggling along with her. Shirley Anderson's
internationally acclaimed adaptation and performance of Dorothy
Parker's Big Blonde is nothing short of captivating. It's a
view from the bottom of an empty whiskey bottle, complete with piles
of blonde hair, long red fingernails, lots of make-up and ambition
that only goes as far as the next glass of booze and men in the
wings. Anderson smoothly shifts between the various characters
and leaves you feeling you've watched a full ensemble play. Lots
of laughs, but equally as many moments that make you swallow
hard.

Concert Reviews
Gay
Men's Chorus of
Los
Angeles
GLENDALE,
CA - At
the top of the show, Artistic Director Dr. Bruce Mayhall told the
audience that when the chorus first started putting together their
spring concert line-up, they had no idea just how timely and relevant
its theme would be. Red White & Blues, an American Music
Celebration gave the audience an overview of the challenges, victories
and defeats the people of the United States have faced throughout the
last century.
By
interweaving key songs from several time periods with audio-visual
images, the evening was a history lesson while simultaneously
commemorating some of our country's most beloved accomplishments in
music.
One highlight was the show stopping(!) performance of chorus
member John DesLauriers singing "Ol' Man River" accompanied
by the chorus.
You can always count on an excellent show from the Gay Men's
Chorus of Los Angeles and they hit this one out of the park. -
