On August 8th we saw Dolly Parton. Now, even though I had a nasty case of bronchitis, the show was amazing! It's really difficult to not sing or cheer at a show!Just like Eartha Kitt, Dolly knew how to connect with an audience. The show was at the WaMu Theater (where we last saw Daft Punk) so it was much smaller than say a show at Key Arena. She started right on time at 8pm and there was no opening band. She played for about an hour and then we had an intermission! Then Dolly changed outfits and came out again for another hour. I was so please because she sang one of my favorite songs - I Will Always Love You - which she does SO much better than Whitney Houston.
During her vamping section she made some great jokes about her buxomness and how hard it is to look that good and how all her instruments where white with sparkles, even the piano!
She played a new song Backwoods Barbie which is the title of her new album. The back story of how she always admired the town hooker and wanted to be pretty just like her was hilarious!
All in all, a great show and we would definitely see her again!
