Today the city came alive on a long awaited picture perfect spring day. Summer: The Donna Summer Musical was amazing. Zsia, her husband, Jon and I sat in Row A - dancing and singing with the very talented cast. Donna's disco songs at the end featured huge disco balls - both on and off stage - with shiny confetti that fell from the top of the theatre covering everyone. It took me back to my disco days when John Travolta filmed "Saturday Night Fever" here in Bay Ridge. The show was about the life of Disco Queen Donna Summer. Along the way the show touched on lower wages for women verses men (applause from the audience) and one or two other social issues of the day. As with most performances "Summer" was about someone overcoming their issues and achieving greatness in their lives.
