A few weeks ago we had the privledge to see the incredibly talented Eartha Kitt at Jazz Alley. You may know her as the Cat Woman paired with Adam West in the 60s (she was the one with the definitive meow) or perhaps her rendition of "Santa Baby" that gets played over the holidays. There's her role as Madame Zeroni in the hit movie Holes and her voice acting as Yzma in the Emperor's New Groove (both the movies and the television show). She just won a second emmy at age 81 for her voice work on the tv show.
But did you know about all the other work she's done? A dancer, a caberet singer, and a broadway star?
My husband and I first saw her as the fairy godmother in the touring musical Cinderella and we were amazed at this woman in her 70s dancing around and showing of these amazing legs! At 70!
Well, she is now 81 and she can still dance and her legs are just as lovely. Her show was amazing and we felt privledge to be there. She was so funny and honest and just wonderful. If you ever get the chance to see her live, don't miss it!
Jazz Alley is a great venue and while the food was pricey it was worth every tasty bite!
