The Lady of Song

If you have never heard of Ella Fitzgerald you are missing out on an amazing jazz singer!! Talk about scat! Dave and I had the privilege of going to see Ella at Arena Stage. Unfortunately, tomorrow is the last show and they are sold out, so if you hadn't seen it you've missed out :(

But, we had a wonderful time. The woman who played Ella is extremely talented. I had goosebumps during most of the show.
I am so grateful for all the opportunities we get to experience art in this area: museums, theaters, free events... DC (well, Virginia in this case since Arena's temporary home is in Crytal City) has a lot to offer and you can make some cool memories! So, go ahead go to DC and have fun!








El viernes, Dave y yo fuimos a ver el espectaculo Ella en un teatro en DC. Ella es un show basado en la cantante de jazz Ella Fitzgerald, que es increible! La actriz/cantante que interpretaba a Ella es impresionante, se me ponia la piel de gallina cuando cantaba!
Vivir tan cerquita de DC es buenisimo porque siempre hay shows para ver y sin tener que gastar mucha plata. Por empezar los museos son gratis, despues siempre hay eventos a bajos precios o gratis. Como Dave trabaja en el verano en la colonia de vacaciones artisticas en Arena Stage, nos dieron dos entradas gratarola!! Bueno, si nunca escucharon a Ella Fitzgerald, no pierdan mas tiempo y bajense una cancion o comprense todo un CD! Vale la pena!
