last night i took my papa to see Paradise Redux at Real Art Ways. i was pleasantly surprised and amazed at how truly talented this John Kelly was at playing as miss Joni Mitchell. i went, not really knowing what to expect, but from beginning to end i was completely enamored with his performance and ability to capture her true identity. we were sitting in the second row, with the rest of the die hard fans in the front. i think, to be perfectly honest, you need to be a true true Joni fan to really appreciate a show like this. it was absolutely amazing how well he played her songs and the instruments and still managed to capture her essence and mannerisms to a tee. my papa was impressed that he even got the Canadian accent right. I was in love with this man as Joni, and would have been flattered if i were Joni herself, but i was even more in love with him when he took off his wig and dress and sang Joni as himself.
my one and only complaint was that he was wearing leopard print shoes which i felt were something that Joni would never wear.....but still it was worth every penny!
Here are some pictures:
