Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending For the Record: Tarantino in Concert at Barre in Los Angeles. Though I admit I'm not a die hard fan of Quentin Tarantino, I do love musical shows. This show combined eating and drinking with a show -> Score. The show was sold out that night and Barre is a pretty cramped place with small tables and unstable seats. I ordered the Blueberry Lemondrop which was very sweet with the Hot & Spicy Fries and the Kobe Sliders which were both okay.
The cast for that night's show included: Lisa Datz, Rogelio Douglas Jr., Ben Goldberg, RaShonda Johnson, Ginifer King, Tinuke Oyefule, Darryl Semira, and Von Smith. The entire cast was absolutely amazing! All were very charismatic and had great voices. Don't get me started on Von Smith, his voice was completely insane! His voice range can easily go from low to high, and when I say high, I mean SUPER HIGH.

Even though the size of Barre is pretty small, what makes it unique is that there is no bad seat in the house. Wherever you may be sitting at, you are able to see and enjoy every minute of the show because it takes place throughout the place, not just at the front stage. Overall this experience was amazing, I know this show is destined to become a huge success.
