Beatles Night!

I know I say this often but.................

Oh, what a night!

I love doin' benefit type things !

Most anyway...but this was just all too awesome!

The cast of people was dreamy....

Steve Gallagher, EJ Scott, Patricia Zentilli, Thom Allison.....MY HUSBAND!!!!.....Jennifer Stewart, Kyle Blair, Dean Armstrong, and Joe Matheson...

And we sang Beatles tunes....it was a great night put together by Mitchell Marcus, who's youth just frightens my ass...I have shoes older than that boy....but he has his shit together and is producing some of the most interesting and comtemporary music theatre in Toronto!

And the MD of the evening?

Look out people...for a man named Reza Jacobs....he was quite thrilling to work with. His ideas were new and his enthusiasm was infectious....I think this man is on his way to some place......and a good place @ that!

Everyone was wonderful but I would like to point out some of my favourite moments of the evening....

Steve G starting the show screaming ( in a awesome rock and roll way) 'ST. Pepper'...that boy is in a club that I think I belong to ....

( someone else said this joke...I cannot take credit)

the ' I-really-deep-inside-think-I-am-black' club.

That man has got some pipes!

My honey singing the pop tune ' Day in the Life'....I love it when Georgie sings pop.....it makes me giggle-ie.

He so handsome.

Patricia Zentilli sang a version of 'Strawberry Fields' that just blew me away....it was so honest and pure.....I went from 'wow' to' Wowie' to 'Jealous' to ' I am past jealous and just impressed'.....that was alot of emotions to got through in one song, let me tell you!

I cannot wait to see her in 'Little Shop' @ Canstage.

EJ....she is just the bomb.....both of her songs ( 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' and 'Something') were so original and dynamic...gotta buy her albums!!

My fave of the whole night was Thom singing 'Lady Madonna'.....it was...it was...just luminous.

What a night we had!

The audience was sold out and I had a drum solo in my tune!!!

What more could you ask for?

My Friend Thom.....

Now....this wasn't what he was wearing at Statlers tonight....this is what he wore when we went to the zoo.....doesn't he look cute?

Tonight, Thom did a cabaret at the new Statlers...nice room by the by.....

It was packed my friends....PACKED!

Thom did 3 sets.....yup.....3....that is 36 songs....full-the-fuck-out!

He rocked....

he sang 'Gorgeous', 'Miss Celie's Blues' and ' I Am Changing' to name but a few.

He told stories and had an awesome theme 'Past, Present and Future'....he was just stellar!

Can anyone sing like him?

I was sitting with my friend Ed Sahely, the funniest guy in showbiz and Jonathon Wilson, who is so creative.... and I turned to them at one point and I told them that I felt like I was in New York.....oh I hope the days of cabaret are here to stay.

It was AWESOME!!!!

Otto + Chicken = Trouble

Oh yesssss.....

Daddy please.....

Just one little bit....

Just the skin part......

Oh I am sooooo tired but...

There is chicken.......

I am so cute, aren't I.....I know I am a bit stinky, but hey, I am 14 fricken years old.....

Why must you keep it from me .....the special meat?

Mommy....

Wait! My ass smells heavenly......

CHICKEN~!

That Otto has quite a vocabulary.

2 things....

ANTM Cycle 9......looks just so promising......there is a girl named....

are you ready?.....

Spontanoiuse.....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It just looks like it will be delicious.

And the next thing....Survivor.....

AWESOME!

Speaking of Chicken.....

GONE!!!!!!

The Party's Over.......

How tiny is this picture....I am still too tired to make it any bigger....I tried some others...but god bless you all who took them......the angle was bad for my ego or they were, believe it or not....smaller.

Oh my.......I cannot believe that we are done at he Gladstone....I say that with sadness and a bit of creative relief.

I look forward to utilizing all of the material that I have written and songs that were arranged for the version that will be on the road and that we will bring back to Toronto to a bigger theatre.....Yes my friends....that is the plan.....I am gonna use the road to finesse and then the Party will re-emerge when you least expect it....

Woo hoo.

But back to the night of September 17th....

What a NIGHT!

We were so worried about everyone fitting but, of course, in the back of my head 'what if no one came'?

Well, Sean from LKTYP was in line reading the Now mag at 6:00pm.....new record and I love him for it.....it was very soon after that the line started to grow and by 7:00pm it was around the corner... 'Sharron's Bitch' t-shirts were everywhere!

At 8:00pm they came and told me....well 'they' was George....that I couldn't come down yet because they were still letting people in....2 at a time....and it was too many people for me to go down and say 'hi' to at this late time.....I always love that.....

But it was 230 people.

Yup....you read that right!

And we decided that this night would have not guests and be all Me.

Patrick and I would celebrate the two years and then show the audience and ourselves what it would be like on the road.

It was cool.....I did three songologues.

One was the first I wrote ....called 'My Name is Sharron Matthews and I love Britney Spears' and another was called 'Highschool Dancing' and it has me ending with 'I Will Survive'....

Ending with a disco tune never fails....

It was an amazing night....so many faces that I love and so many that have been such wonderful supporters.....

I felt very blessed and proud.

The CD Party Girl was released and we sold almos 100 copies!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!

I am really proud of it.....Patrick produced it and did a wonderful job.

And now.....on to the new life of 'Sharron's Party' and whatever is next.....I am very excited and have a whole bunch of new ideas rolling around my head...who knows what I will do next...but one thing is for sure.....the Party will keep on going.

On Monday September 24th I am doing a show called

' A Little Help From My Friends'

for Mitchell Marcus.....

Too Long....

Holy crap you guys!

It has been toooo long ...are you still there?

I am so excited and this has been such and awesome time.....and of course I feel that it was important enough to tell the whole interweb!

We spent long days and nights working on the Cd with Patrick as the producer......oh my, but I am really happy with the whole thing......it is fun and funny and I don't sound too bad.....if I do say so myselF....

Sharron...

that does not sell CD's.....

It sounds AWESOME!

We will release it @ the last Sharron's Party on

Monday September 17th......

ahhh the last party....

sigh....

sad and happy...

we have bookings all over Ontario over the next 4 months and have already done two.....

We were in Brampton...where the audience was 17 years old to 80....not lying....I asked right away if I could say cocksucker.....

that seems to be the barometer for the evening for me....isn't my mother proud?

Last night we hauled our cookies up to Waterloo for their subscriber night...

the Waterloo Entertainment Centre just bought 8 months of Sharron's Party with extra shows @ Christmas and New Years....once a month just like here......

It is super exciting that the AD up there wants to build an audience!

The lovely Barb Barsky was there....she is doing Master Class...and her husband Marek....who I love....was playing piano for her when she sang "Infinite Joy"....ah that song is nice.

Jean Stillwell was there....singing pretty and lookin' fierce...as was her accompanist Patti Loach....she cool.....

Young Ari Weinberg was singing from Bunnicula....which they are also doing there.....

then I brought up the rear with some Britney Spears and Pussy Cat Dolls....I am nothing if not fancy.....

You guys....I am so excited about the 17th....
