Sandra Bernhard walked onto the stage electrified, and remained that way - in myriad incarnations - for two consecutive hours - no intermission. SHE WAS/IS AMAZING. I've admired her, her ability, for a long time, and wanted to see her LIVE. This was my first opportunity, and i was overjoyed. I invited two friends; one was acquainted with her "work". While I was the only one to recognize all the references, they were both very impressed; laughing, applauding. Sandra's talent, from her voice to her humour to her movements and timing, is rare and unique. AND she's a great story maker/teller!
It was wonderful to hear a baby grand, and the rest of her gifted band during the show, and when she rocked out to Led Zepplin and Prince. I also liked the way she tied moments together or introduced a piece. E.g., she thanked all the "Prince" womyn first (such as Sheila E., Lisa, Wendy), then sang "Little Red Corvette". Near the end of the show, after she had sung a Dolly Parton parody earlier, she said "I will always love you."
