She talked about it being РІР‚СљThe American Way to hunt right wing lunatics'РІР‚Сњ, how being in Planned Parenthood was a proud thing for her and that anyone who does not believe in a right to choose РІР‚СљIs A Fucking IdiotРІР‚Сњ. TurnerРІР‚в„ўs limited ability to sing was usurped by her effort to get the words to come out properly.Р’В Most disturbing about the evening, however, was her political statements. Many if not all of the songs in this act were horrific. She talked about her dream of being an actress and that she still canРІР‚в„ўt believe that she is famous.

When Turner came out in her oversized black slacks and shirt, she seemed uninspired with РІР‚СљBrother can You Spare a DimeРІР‚Сњ. TurnerРІР‚в„ўs voice as well as her stamina began to give way and with just average musicians behind her, here is where things unraveled.Р’В The act opened with guitarist Sean Harkness, pianist Mark Janas and bassist Ritt Henn warming the crowd back up. Even though TurnerРІР‚в„ўs range was limited, the first act was bearable because of the story telling and matching songs.Р”Р„ct two was a complete disaster. As she closed out the first act she talked about living on 10th Street in The West Village, making a promise to herself to play РІР‚СљWhoРІР‚в„ўs Afraid of Virgina WolfРІР‚Сњ by the age of 50 her playing The Metropolitan Opera and doing Dolly PartonРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚СљHeartstringsРІР‚Сњ. The songs here were somewhat in synch with as her life was going by: РІР‚Сњ Sweet Kentucky Ham on Your MindРІР‚Сњ went well with her telling of the years of travel and being on the road doing films, missing friends along the way. The lighting design by Ed McCarthy with the purple, steely blues and yellow whites made for a nightclub affect. Director Andy Gale made this an evening of cabaret with Kathleen TurnerРІР‚в„ўs little snippets about her life in between. In the first act of this two-hour show, the star would talk about her many different roles in her 43 years in the business of acting. Soon after, Ms.Turner would star on Broadway and would go on to be nominated for several Tony Awards. From there offers to star in movies kept coming, soon she would film РІР‚СљThe Man with Two BrainsРІР‚Сњ, РІР‚СљRomancing the StoneРІР‚Сњ and РІР‚СљWar of The RosesРІР‚Сњ. As a waitress in New York, she caught a break when she starred in РІР‚СљBody HeatРІР‚Сњ. To keep from culture shock, Kathleen studied theater and as she put it, РІР‚СљI never stopped actingРІР‚Сњ. When her father died, Turner was eighteen and she and her mother moved back home to Missouri. St.JohnРІР‚в„ўs Wood is where the TurnerРІР‚в„ўs would live for years and where Kathleen began going to the theater in LondonРІР‚в„ўs West End. Paired with our Ovation slim-line pickup, you wonРІР‚в„ўt believe your ears when you hear the incredible voice and clarity found within this guitar.Turner felt the love of theater when her father was transferred to England. To tie everything together, weРІР‚в„ўve also updated the electronics to the new CE304T preamp. An Ovangkol fingerboard/bridge and mid depth bowl allow for effortless and comfortable playing.
