AQUA IDOL UPDATE….
Last night at Aqua Idol Waterfront Playhouse, there was a double elimination…..the lovely Linda Greenberg had to drop out of the contest as she had to return to NYC…..We also had to say goodbye to Vincent Lopez, whom I heard presented a perfect “Farewell” song! My sources tell me that Aqua was packed to the gills with adoring fans….and that our contestants were outstanding! I heard glowing reports about EVERY single contestant….Key West is taking this marvelous group of singers to its heart and loving every minute of the great entertainment they are receiving! I want to congratulate those still in the Contest…..Traci Reynolds, Gayla Morgan, Michael McCabe, Denis Hyland, Bobby Lundy, Valerie Carr, Bill Heller, Yoa Adams, Amy Pesola, and James Warren!!!! You are the BEST, and the Waterfront Playhouse appreciates all you are doing for our Theater! A great big thank you to Linda Greenberg and Victor Lopez for helping us out as you did. Don’t forget NEXT Tuesday at 6:30 PM at Aqua Idol….the place to be in Key West! If all goes as planned, Bob and I will be back in town, and I will be back in the judge’s seat!
