Anyone from the board going? I just snagged tix for the 9 pm show. Should be fun!

Seth claimed he was scrambling up the song book to keep Audra on her toes. She seemed genuinely surprised by the song cues so I'll be curious to hear how they mix it up for the second show. The 6:30pm song list included:

When Did I Fall In Love 
Craig's List Lieder  
Stars and the Moon 
The Glamorous Life 
The Rose
I Could Have Danced All Night
I'll Be Here ~ Adam Gwon
Climb Every Mountain
Summertime
 

Will Swenson gave her a water break midway through to sing "The Pirate King." She returned for a comic duet of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers Any More."

Additions to the 9pm show included Moments In The Woods and Maybe This Time. She was delightful.

She also sang Baltimore at the 9pm show. Really fantastic performance, I was blown away.

it's exactly the same tracklist of her concert in London last month...
