I look forward to the Pasadena Pops summer concert series at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia each year. Last evening’s performance featured four of Broadway’s Leading Ladies, Susan Egan, Valerie Perri, Christina Saffran, Lisa Vroman, as well as David Burnham, also of Broadway fame. It was fabulous! I listed the songs below the gallery for those interested.
Three more concerts are coming this summer: Micheal Feinstein Sings Gershwin on July 19, Hooray for Hollywood on August 16, and New York, New York on September 6. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend going! ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)
