Andrew Sands at Casa Karma

A full and very happy house listened to Andrew Sands sing his fave tunes in his first solo show at Casa Karma last night. Accompanied beautifully on piano by David Duvall, Andy took us through a range of musicals with a couple of standards from Sound of Music and Les Mis and lesser known Jekyll & Hyde and a terrific Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror. Andy, who currently plays Riff Raff with a vengeance in that uber-campy musical returning to Act2PV this season, really wants to be Doctor Frank-N-Furter! Fellow entertainers turned out to support Andy, including Jordon Carnegie (star of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, returning to The Palm Cabaret, December 01), Kimberly Grandi (Happy Hour Rico Indian), and Montse, whose solo show at Act2 will be announced soon.

Andy’s mother was there, and his partner and we, his audience who have become his extended family, enjoyed a couple of hours of song, good food, and wine in that gloriously acoustical heaven, the Living Room at Casa Karma.

It’s a gorgeous day for Scrabble; I’m not sure anyone is left in Vallarta to play with—complete report on what could be a non-event first thing in the morning.
