My wife and I went out to dinner with friends tonight, and then, afterwards, attended a BYU concert with them by Kelli O’Hara.

 

She arrived here in Utah yesterday, taking a break from her current role in the Broadway revival of The King and I, and she spent much of today in a master class with BYU music theater students.  I was impressed:  It’s obvious that she really gave them her attention, and that she enjoyed it.  She had them come up on stage with her to sing with her in one of her numbers.  She’s a tremendous performer, very warm and unpretentious, and she spoke feelingly of her parents, grandparents, husband, and children.  Her accompanist, Dan Lipton, was also exceptional.
