RESPECT!

We had a lovely time this past weekend catching up with a dear friend from Nashville - Dorothy Marcic. She's down under to promote her musical "Respect: the Musical Journey of Women",
starring Rhonda Burchmore. We've been blessed to see it grow from a one-woman presentation to a four-woman show (starring our nieces Emily & Rachael), and now to a fabulous stage musical with live music, the whole works. You rock Dorothy! You must go and see the show if you have the chance. It is so inspiring. Here's a short description:

From "Someone to Watch Over Me" to "I will Survive." It's the journey of women, told through Top-40 music in the new musical production RESPECT: A Musical Journey of Women. From the codependence of "I will follow him" to the anger of "These Boots are Made for Walking," to the cynicism of "What's Love Got to Do with it," and finally to the strength of "Hero." Combining excerpts of 60 songs with women's own stories about finding dreams, lost love, relationship issues, entering the workforce, gaining independence, and more, this show is "exhilarating!" It's more than just a story worth telling, it's a must-see and must-hear.
