plenty of room for improvement
by Lauriss on 10/23/15DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamFor the cost of these tickets, I expected a lot better. Susan forgot the lyrics of one song & had to start over; for another song, she tried multiple times to accompany herself on the piano and finally gave up. Sheer vanity! A 10-year-old could have done better.The opening act, and the two backup singers, had fine voices but were so cheesy in their dress and presentation. Susan has a lovely voice but was frequently way ahead of the music. Her attempts at choreography were (unintentionally) hilarious; on the other hand, her 'jokes' were stilted & cringy. And what's with the emcee introducing her by telling the audience to stand and applaud - before she'd sung even a single note??!? I give this two stars despite all this because it was entertaining enough that my husband didn't fall asleep.
