The palace of fine arts is a hidden gem tucked in behind the Palace of Fine Arts and it is a great place for an intimate concert.We used Gold Star to get tickets to see Linda Eder. This is actually the second time I've seen her, though the first time I had a group of McAteer students in tow, a tired co-chaperone and a partial view of the show, Jekyl and Hyde.
As it turns out, Ms. Eder was a Star Search success story and got her role in the Broadway show based on largely on her success on the show. Of course, and I do not give her delivery justice, she went from playing Mother Superior to playing a prostitute for three years!
Her voice is gorgeous and aside from a little rude interaction with the audience, some guy did not feel that her rendition of Judy Garland's Over the Rainbow was up to snuff.
"Judy did it better!"
"You are absolutely rude ..."
"It's true ..."
Linda Eder: "I am simply stunned."
She then went on to sing the song. If you get the opportunity to see her live, do so.
