We went to see the Gay Mens Chorus of Los Angeles Christmas show last night. The guest performer was Melissa Manchester. The weird thing was that none of the numbers she performed were Christmas/holiday songs! She would come out on stage, sit down at the piano, and do one of her standard pieces without any interaction with the chorus (they just silently stood there on the risers until she was done) and then she would disappear until her next number.
One of the friends we went with commented that it was like they had a GMCLA show and a Melissa Manchester concert broke out. Bizarre...
The chorus did their usual spectacular job, though.
