You get an intimate evening of music
with the Trust Cabaret Series which brings top notch recording and Broadway
talent to the Greer Cabaret Theater. Hollywoodland: Songs of the Silver
Screen recently brought together three powerhouse vocalists, Jane
Monheit, Jim Caruso (originally from Pittsburgh) and singer-pianist Billy
Stritch. The lighthearted classic Hollywood musical movies of the 1930's, 1940’s and 1950’s where
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Judy Garland and others sang and danced were the focus
of the night.
The musical Cats is the fourth longest running show on Broadway. This show with colorful
costumes, non-stop energized dancing and a beautiful musical score by Andrew
Loyd Webber, was all the rage in the 80’s when I first saw it with my parents. The show revolves around the annual Jellicle
Ball where cats gather to choose the one among them that will be reborn to a
new life. This show now seemed more applicable to my human life because this blog
is all about trying new things and new beings after a life change. Cats
was a “purrfect” night to celebrate the chosen Jellicle cat’s rebirth and to embellish
the idea of a life “do over” -a new beginning.
