I See Your True Colors Tour Sneak Peek Shining Through--And That's Why I Love You
True Dat! It's a Dresden Doll, and All-American Girl, a She-Bopper and a Nightbird all prepping for tonight's big finale of the True Colors tour. Debbie Harry, the Indigo Girls and Rosie O. will also be on hand.
One thing that happens in Vegas? Hotel room modem issues… Later than planned, here are a bunch of photos from last night’s final rehearsal for tonight’s massive True Colors tour launch at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Like I mentioned before, this show is gonna be fun (if the bits I saw last night are a healthy indicator)…
I’m gonna work backwards here. The image up top is four of the big headliners prepping one of the finale numbers. I won’t tell you what it is, but it will be Abba-eqsue. That’s Amanda of the Dresden Dolls (she’s really fab and fun) on the far left, then Margaret Cho, Cyndi Lauper (duh) and Erasure’s Andy Bell. Yo Andy! What’s with the lyric sheet? Didn’t you guys record an entire Abba album?
More backstage rock glitz after the jump!
Erasure's Andy Bell and his fierce back-up girls (right) tune up. Expect some classic 80s brilliance, and new jack gay tunes, too!
Margaret Cho and bud Diana Yanez lay down a "Puss"-powered rap in rehearsals. Word.
Ms. Lauper will serve up wardrobe madness, and a litany of some of her best songs that you love. Think "Money Changes Everything," "When You Were Mine," "Shine" and more, more, more. And she's gonna get help from a special guest drummer with a very specific point of "View." (Durrrrr....) And a Mega-Bonus? Cyn's gonna pull out a tune from a movie that rhymes with "loonies." YEEEESSSSSSSS!
And, of course, Cyndi just plain rocks. Even in rehearsal her voice sonic jet fuel. And all for the gays!
That's all for now. More this weekend from backstage at tonight's big True Colors launch. And the after-party! I'll tell Rosie ya said, "Hey!"
