After Midnight


I went with my friend Voon to see After Midnight, a revue of the 1930's in Harlem. We went specifically on this night because K.D. Lang was starting her 39 performance run and he's obsessed. The show was fun and hot, filled with great jazz songs, many of which I knew. Pat on the back! There was virtually no story line though a few characters came on and reprised their roles from previous skits. The dancing, specifically tap, was bomb! The lindy was a little "fake" and choreographed. All in all, a 90 minute show that was fun and family appropriate. 
 I loved many of the numbers including this one where all the men tried to stay in a line for the whole song.
 We were sitting in row E all the way off to the right and while we missed sight lines for entrances, we didn't miss anything else. Perfect! They were rush so I paid $37! Not bad! Also, Rosie O'Donnell was in the audience!
The show was electric and fun. My only issue would be is that there wasn't a story line and I prefer my shows to actually go somewhere, and to take me with them.
