MONDAY, JANUARY 10th, 2011, IN KEY WEST WITH LYNDA!!!
BOBBY IN THE LOBBY SHOW ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, JAN. 10….
Along with the fabulous Bobby Nesbitt, also starring is the beautiful former Miss America, Susan Powell and popular, multi-talented, Randy Roberts! A very few Tix are still available for tonight’s show. The show, called “Doin’ What Comes Naturally,” pays tribute to Irving Berlin. Showtime is 8:00 PM…At Tennessee Williams Cabaret Theatre….For tix. Call 295-7676 or go to www.keystix.com. We saw this show last night, and loved every minute. Bobby Nesbitt is a genius. He is so knowledgeable of his subject matter, and he makes Irving Berlin come alive. The high light for me was, Bruce Moore coming on the stage and singing only one song…and getting me up on the stage to dance with him! Need I say MOORE? Susan Powell grabbed Brian Savitch, and we were a gleesome twosome…or should I say foursome! Swoon! Congrats to Bobby on another wonderful Bobby in the Lobby Show and to Susan and Randy!
