An Ars Nova Night...
....house packed, a cool rain drenching the City...people still showed up....because of the feature attraction, a man they all obviously love: Glenn Seven Allen, a man I am now extremely fond of, an old friend of Peter's from U. of M, they werein the same class....and Glenn and I are in A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE together...so all these individual strands drew us to join the rest of the delighted audience at Ars Nova last night and be deliciously entertained by Glenn's one-man show: TOO LEGIT....boy, was he marvelous! Deeply, legitimately wonderful. A voice from Heaven, the breadth and depth of which i got to hear more of last night and i was...well..it's gorgeous....and his sensitive willingness to go deep where the songs asked him to go? Perfect...enthralling and satisfying. Also, he was extremely funny...he sang a love song aria to a Magnolia Bakery cupcake, and it was one of the sweetest ,sexiest, funniest thing I have seen in a while...Christianne Noll joined him in the final duet from A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE...gorgeous. Directed terrifically and cleverly by Kate Guyton...afterwards, a real Michigan mafia gathering at Vintages on 8th Avenue...I sat and listened a lot! What a great and gifted crew of artists....singers, actors, writers....wonderful! I felt a trifle old, but you now what? I AM!!!!
