Enjoyed having the chance to see and hear Spider Saloff in Chicago. She's a wonderful singer and actress. Her embodiments of several characters was impressive. The show itself could use some work. The focus seemed divided: sometimes it was presented as a memorial service to a past friend attended by a cast of characters, sometimes it was about Spider's own past life and challenges. Trying to accommodate all of this required too much verbal scaffolding!Written on Jun 10 2009

This was great. The lady, Luba Mason, is an extremely talented woman with perfect breath control and pitch, beautiful clear quality. I was very impressed with her voice and style, and was disappointed that more people do not know about her.Written on Jun 08 2009

Melissa Young put on a very entertaining tribute to Madonna. My favorite part was the 4 minute 30 second version of the Erotica album. Melissa is very funny but she shined brightest doing some of Madonna's slower songs like "Promise to Try" and "Drowned World/Substitute for Love".Written on Jun 05 2009
