Interesting that she mentioned the upcoming show in OC; she didn't mention it at all on Saturday. She was a little scratchy in some spots still but overall was in fine voice. Upper register was great. She did a run up the scale at one point with no break or rough spots at all, very impressive. Took most songs under tempo (very Doris Day of her) and the show was great. But the slow tempo did not work with "Ladies Who Lunch"--it worked for the first half of the song but prevented the song from building the way it has to. Patti and Seth were great. Lots of interesting chat (Patti doesn't like theater producers and she think people in Hollywood are nicer because there's more money flowing...) but the songs were powerhouse. Her performance of "Trouble" was a total delight but her performance of "Meadowlark" didn't resonate as much as I thought it would. Still, a great evening!!
