Jackie ButtonsLen already posted about the Jackie buttons being such a big hit - allow me to 2nd that motion.. Nebraska Stephen's buttons were a HUGE hit in Miami..! HUGE..! we could have easily handed out 100's more if we had them.. stood around Jackie's merchandise table a bit upon our arrival, most of us displaying a button or 2 on our person.. were asked about and treated as though we were the organizers of Jackie's fan club -
.. Len offered the merchandise lady a button.. we handed out a few buttons to a couple of little girls, and then the avalanche of requests started, slowly at first, but became ongoing throughout the evening right to the end when we were leaving the theatre – ushers, and concert-goers alike coming up and asking for themselves or a friend.. such happy faces – buttons just adding to the special evening for so many people (and we were treated like special Jackie ambassadors –
.. BIG shout-out to Stephen – your marvelous work was much in demand and appreciated..!

Song Thoughtsfamiliar comfortable start to concert with When You Wish Upon A Star..
could hardly believe it when we started to hear Some Enchanted Evening – what a treat – I have repeatedly posted of the importance of this song as I see it symbolizing the enchanted evening when Jackie's family saw Phantom of the Opera and Jackie discovered her true love – singing.. partial standing O..
Jackie again urged us to think of our favourite tree or a tree we saw today as her intro to Ombra Mai Fu.. standings O..
another special new song for this tour – What A Wonderful World – during which the stage drapery walls and Jackie were awash in deep royal blue light from the overhead stage lighting..
oh my – thank you Jackie – another new tour song offering – Angel – for me very special as it was the first song that I listened to over and over and over again at times, nearly 2 years ago, not really knowing the meaning to the lyrics, so instead thinking of the ability of this angel's singing to help cure a person's ills..
Jackie offered The Lord's Prayer as a great song that she frequently uses to end her 1st set.. Jackie got her power going, ending with standing O..
Jackie got audience gasps as she entered in her black sequined dress to sing Lovers.. standing O..
Jackie dedicated My Heart Will Go On to all her fans whom she loves very much and very respectfully gave attention to lead violinist at start of song..
Jackie advised us that the next song was in French, then sang Imaginer, while bathed in lovely green overhead lighting – the greenish goldish softening hue was my personal favourite as it seemed to really highlight her lovely facial features.. standing O..
and the new tour songs kept coming.. with memories of wowing them at the Capitol Fourth, Jackie sang Can You Feel The Love Tonight with an exquisite mix of rich red, deep blue, and goldish green lighting..
Jackie gratefully acknowledged her wonderful maestro John Mario and the evening's orchestra.. then, dedicating her final set song to her mom without whom she felt she would not be where she is today, she sang The Impossible Dream.. standing O..
acknowledging the standing O and calls for encore with an “I love you guys”, Jackie treated us to her encore of Music Of The Night and exited the stage to another Standing O..
Jackie ventured back on stage for a final curtain call – lots of waves, smiles and curtsies.. bravo..!
