The Song That Goes Like This . . .

Curt and I co-produced and co-hosted a fundraiser event for the Ann Arbor Civic Theater last week. We had a ton of fun putting it together and even more fun at the event itself. I was walking on a cloud for days afterwards.

The event was a singing competition between 10 men and 10 women called the Civic Open -- there were two top winners in each category -- so four winners in total. We had some fantastic judges (who became even more fantastic over their manhattens and martinis). Actually, the entire crowd was fired up all over the place. A bunch of us closed the club and continued the festivities at a friend's house.

SO much fun! Too bad it was a Wednesday night.

In addition to the competitors, Curt and I sang a duet - "The Song That Goes Like This" from Spamalot.

The girls watched us practice the number a few times (well, perhaps more than a few times) and somehow during our final dress (which literally took place in our dining room the night before the event) they decided to get into the act themselves.

Here are two versions of the song. The first one shows Audrey stepping in for my part of the duet. You'll see at the end of the video that Viv wants a turn. So she got one in the second video. Although Audrey couldn't stop correcting her in the background.

Too cute!
