We are in Las Vegas again celebrating Thanksgiving with my parents. This has been annual thing. This time we were able to get tickets to see "Donny & Marie" at The Flamingo. Wow what a show! 90 minutes of putting it all out. It was fun, like when they were doing their own show, years ago in their 20s, except without those skits. For being around 50, they look fantastic.
It was a self-effacing homage to themselves, but that's what their fans wants to see and it was done tastefully.
Each had their own individual segment, presenting each stage of their lives, she's a little bit country, he's a little bit rocknroll. Both have been Broadway, both are exploring new stuff...and Marie is even into Opera!
They ended with their "country and rock" segment, still tease each other, and sang their hits, including ending the program with "It Takes Two." Actually they ended the show with, of course, their signature closer ...
May tomorrow be the perfect day,
may you find love and laughter along the way.
May God keep you in His tender care,
'til He brings us together again.
Good night, everybody!
They were renewed for two years .... so it would be worth coming back. Both are excellent at improv, so there will be something fresh and new each time you see their show.
