I went on Friday (Nov. 23) night and she was in great voice throughout most of the evening. I could hear her voice start to give out here and there towards the end, but she still sang her heart out through every number and we didn't get out until 10:25.

How was the audience reaction at the matinee? Did she still give out the Christmas ball. I understand that she dropped some numbers for both Saturday shows and Sunday has been canceled.

Here's the numbers she did on Friday:
ACT I - No Business Like Show Business / Can't Get a Man with a Gun / No One is Alone / Sooner or Later / Second Letter Home / Unexpected Song / I'm Flying / Time Heals Everything / You Could Drive a Person Crazy / Raining in My Heart / Some People

ACT II - Nothin' Like a Dame / Mr. Snow / It Might as Well be Spring / I Left My Heart in SF / Moonshine Lullaby / Not A Day Goes By / With So Little to Be Sure Of / Childern Will Listen / Being Alive / Move On / Some Other Time / Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

HI!
Did anyone go to B.P.'s concert at the Orpheum? I went today (Now 24th) to the matinee. I realized right away that she had a cold and was having trouble with hoarseness I felt so bad for her because I could see she was trying so hard. As a singer, I could relate and could see that she had all kinds of things she would have liked to do with her voice and her songs with dynamics and licks and such but didn't really know what was even going to come out. By the end of the concert she couldn't sing anymore and had to finish off "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by speaking it when I am sure she ussually must finish it with a beautiful belt as she does with so many other songs. I was so amazed at how she handled it. It was inspiring to see that even big celebrities can have struggles in their arts. The woman is amazing. Her personality came right through and compensated. She's beautiful. I see now that I can always make a song beautiful if it comes from the heart. Does anyone have an adress I can write to her??????
