Rufus Wainwright (6/22/14)

Rufus Wainwright is now doing a “Hits” tour, and stopped down at the Kent Stage last night.  As Matt put it - this is the first time we were ever surprised by getting front row seats!  What a surprise treat it was.  What was also a treat, but no surprise, was Rufus’ sister Lucy Wainwright Roche opening.  She was as beautiful and charming as ever.  A true delight.

Rufus was a bit saucy as expected (and maybe a little sauced), but he was upbeat and sounded amazing.  He definitely covered his catalog and even played an Aria from his recently crowd-funded Opera that he’s working on.  He even evoked an appearance of Liza Minnelli on stage (actually Lucy).  Campy, fun and gay.  Everything you can hope for from a Rufus Wainwright show.  Just don’t take pictures.  :-/
