Porgy and Bess

Check! Finally say Audra McDonald perform! She's one of the greats! What I worried about most in this production is that whomever she was set against, they wouldn't measure up! But Norm Lewis did a great job. So good that Aaron said he's going to win the Tony for best male in a lead role! We'll see how that goes. We don't really see a lot of opera, so this was a change of pace!
 The vocals were very powerful, like a baptist church! Everyone on stage was hard at work. The dance scenes (though not many) were very entertaining.
 We sat row E in the mezzanine and while we could've been closer to see Audra better, we still had excellent seats. The last shows I saw here were Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo and In the Heights!
