      Absolutely. We got last-minute standing room tickets when Porgy & Bess was in trials at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge and she was mesmerizing from the second she stepped on the stage.

      @@ThomasDawkins88 We saw her in concert with the Seattle Symphony in November last year--probably pretty much the London show. We also saw her on Broadway in 2019 in a dramatic role--no singing. Don't miss Audra--she's worth every penny no matter what she's performing.
