Tim and I had a fantastic time at the Linda Eder concert at the historic Wilshire Theatre. (12/10/05)
Linda was performing at the 1,900-seat Wilshire Theatre on the corner of Wilshire and La Cienega, which was the perfect place to see a show like that. The first half of her set consisted of songs from her new album, By Myself: The Songs of Judy Garland. Then after an intermission, she stacked the second half with songs from her fantastic Christmas album. I was thrilled.
The phenomenal Linda Eder gave a thrilling performance. (12/10/05)
Incidentally, the Wilshire Theatre is also where I saw Sarah Brightman in Aspects of Love about 10 years ago. A few years later we saw the revival of Cabaret featuring Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher as Sally Bowles (and bumped into comedian/actor David Spade outside the men's room).
It's actually a pretty historic theatre, opening in 1930 under the original title the Fox Wilshire. It's also where Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall attended the opening of How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953, and where Ronald Reagan and Cesar Romero attended a special screening of the 1960 Elvis Presley film G.I. Blues. Presently it sits next to the Larry Flynt Building, in front of which strangely sits a large statue of John Wayne on horseback.
P.S. — Happy Birthday Dad!
