RE:Let Her Entertain You
She will make you smile. The same Bonnie Langford I saw in the 1974 production of "Gypsy" when she played Baby June opposite Angela Lansburys Mama Rose is all grown up, and still an engaging, entertaining performer. Her Fosse number toward the end of her 80 minute performance makes me hope shell appear as Roxie once again in "Chicago." Ill be first on line for tickets. Meanwhile, treat yourself to a delightful cabaret experience of songs and stories.
