REVIEW: Garrison Keillor’s marathon show in St.Paul suggests he can perform for another decade
Garrison Keillor is 81, the same age as President Joe Biden. But anyone who watched him steering the "50th Anniversary of Prairie Home Companion" Friday at the Fitzgerald Theater would be hard-pressed to question his vitality.
In the first of three shows at the former home in St. Paul for his radio program, Minnesota's most famous storyteller gave his signature red sneakers a young man's workout, delivering a nearly three-hour performance in which he rarely resigned himself to a stool…
…There were plenty of familiar faces on hand, including longtime band leader Rich Dworsky and Grammy-winner Pat Donohue who led a number he wrote about St. Paul's Willies American Guitars. When Newman and voice actors Sue Scott and Tim Russell made their first appearance, the crowd responded with one of the loudest ovations of the evening… NEAL JUSTIN, Star Tribune 7/13/24
I am looking forward to seeing and hearing the gang back together! Break a leg and give 'em Hell, Y'all!!
I signed up, saw the show in Scranton, so I almost feel like this is my second “live show” this year!
