Last night, we took our now annual pilgrimage to Symphony Hall in Birmingham to See Katherine Jenkins. This year was however a little different, she was starring with Darcey Bussell in an original song and dance show called Viva La Diva.
To quote from the shows website:
Tonight we will take you on a journey about inspirations and pay tribute to all the divas who have inspired us to do what we do today. So Judy, Maria, Doris, Marilyn, Shirley, Barbara, Grace, Edith... I salute you! You transfixed and transported me. You captured my heart and gave me my dreams. Viva La Diva!
Amanda really enjoyed it, my reaction was a little more mixed: Katherine was as fantastic as ever, and it was a joy to hear her singing in different styles. The 'Song and Dance' routines were fun and well staged, but the Solo Dancing routines were - quite frankly a bore. Don't get me wrong, technically superb, but not what I enjoy.
Ah well, here's to next years show ;-)
