On Saturday, Bombshell in tow, I did something I don't
usually do . . . go to the Casino de Montréal.
At the Cabaret du Casino we saw a new musical called
'Femmes - Toutes Les Femmes', which applauds and showcases
the various facets of women. This adventure takes you
around the world, giving you a closer look at the
diversity and beauty of female who have left their marks,
in all their glory. It stars that doyenne of the seventies
Nanette Workman, along with Julie Dassylva & Martin Lacasse,
and a dozen showgirls and male performers.
I've been a big fan of Nanette, since back in her glory
days. In fact, once upon a time, back in the 80s', when
I had the opening of my Bistro she and Boule Noire aka
George Thurston, were my special entertainment, celebrity
guests.
Thurston was one of the prominent figures in dance and
R&B music in Quebec during the 1970s and 1980s.
Nanette Workman can still belt it out and her co-stars
did music, without accents, in whichever country the song
took them. All the time, images constantly being projected
on a large screen.
Dinner and a show! Fabulous! I even won a couple of
dollars at the Blackjack table.
