It really has to be said, and it's going to make me sound like more of a gay man than I already am (but that's all right, because my roommate is a straight "gay man" too, so we make a fine pair), but Audra McDonald is a goddess.
That is all. I'm listening to her right now. "Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home." I literally danced in my kitchen to this song, all by myself. Yes I'm a big fat dork. But...man. MAN. Where did she COME from?
Okay, that's all from the gay man in me. Now the journalist is going to return to doing the story she's put off all week.
I bet Molly Weasley dances in her kitchen too.
My favorite track on that album is "When did I fall in love?" (Used to be "How Glory Goes", but then I decided I like the original version of that song better. I miss the echoes.)
What a knockout she is!
you KNOW I know it doesn't get any better than that. :-)
except maybe "I Won't Mind." Oooh, or "Somedays." You have to see the Live at the Donmar video if you haven't yet...
I *have* seen Live at the Donmar, with my preDavid resident gay man, Arjuna, a dear, dear, dear friend. All you gay men. :) Taking over my life!
"I Won't Mind..."...it has such a particular resonance these days. The first time I heard that song it was when I saw her sing it live...oh, shivers just thinking about it...
