What I expected to be an evening of upbeat music and fun-filled choreography did deliver, but not in a way that left me completely satisfied.

Les Michaels' Cabaret On Sundays Series welcomes the return of award-winning performer, Dean Regan in "Broadway On A Clear Day" on Sunday, March 25, 2018 at 2 PM at the Arthur Newman Theatre in Palm Desert. Staged as a live cabaret style music concert, Dean's show is a sequel to his previous show, "Give My Regards To Broadway", that was a hit during the series 2016 season and features all new stories and songs from Broadway classics and some currently playing on New York City stages.

There have been many great singers who left an indelible mark on the music industry and who created music that has stood the test of time long after their voices fell silent. Among them is an undeniable country music legend who changed the game in many ways and blazed a trail for numerous female country artists to follow, the incomparable Patsy Cline. Although her life and career were cut tragically short in 1963, Cline's music and voice are still instantly recognizable and her impact is still felt in the country music world even today. To open their season, CityRep is currently presenting a show that provides a window into the life of the legendary singer and a chance to hear many of her most beloved songs, sung live on stage. While A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline does succeed in bringing to life those songs in quite spectacular fashion, the show as a whole is a mixed bag, an odd combination of disparate and at times frustrating elements that never really gel into a cohesive whole.

Considered by many to be one of the top country artists of all time, Patsy Cline was a pioneer for women in country music and as a crossover artist. Her story is one of personal struggle and determination, overcoming obstacles from poverty to a devastating car accident; but none of that comes to mind when thinking of this country music legend. What does is her tough as nails resolve, smiling face, and emotionally charged voice that has sold millions of records and is one of the reasons most country artists count her as a major influence.
