Idina!

I went to see Idina last night at the Greek Theater. AMAZING. Came out in a lovely magenta ballgown...barefoot. Since she wasn't promoting her album, it was lots of Broadway stuff. Rent, Wicked (I'm not that girl, a cappella For Good, and Defying Gravity, of course), Funny Face, and Don't Rain on My Parade (Lea's is still my favorite...). I was up pretty high (not nosebleeds, but close), so you could look down at the audience. The number of phones out recording DG was pretty funny. She also did Poker Face, which was hysterical. I saw Coach Bieste taking pictures with people and apparently Ryan Murphy was in the audience. She even lives close to the area, so her husband was in attendance as well. She closed the show with "The Way We Were" Since Marvin Hamlish was conducting. He was pretty funny as well. He did medley's from Chorus Line (naturally) and also My Fair Lady, which was beautiful.

She also sang a mash-up of Love for Sale (Cole Porter's) and Roxanne. While the subject matter matched up, it was better than I expected. Also, randomly, Look to the Rainbow (Finnian's Rainbow) and Tomorrow from Annie, thankfully not mashed up.

So it was a great time, and I can't believe I've seen her twice in concert in my life. LA gets major points today.
