In tandem with a screening of Jobriath a.d. (a much-ballyhooed documentary about the failed pop star of yesteryear) fans were treated to a dazzling Glam Rock Concert by the lovely Ann Magnuson at the Redcat Theatre (Walt Disney Hall).
The audience was wowed by the live performance which was presented under the auspices of Outfest 2012.
Ms. Magnuson has been an enduring presence in film, turning in one fine performance after another, in such films as The Hunger (David Bowie), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (River Phoenix) - and – of course opposite Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan.
On stage, the talented star was also a formidable presence in the underground scene in the 80’s, dazzling audiences with her work as a performance artist, musician, and actress.
In the special live glam rock event on Friday Night Magnuson paid tribute to David Bowie and Jobriath (the first openly gay glam rocker).
Magnuson first-performed the Jobriath medley in 1996 to rave reviews.
In the lobby at the theatre, I was introduced to Ms. Magnuson for the first time, and was knocked out by her style and beauty.
The star has beautiful loving eyes which were accented by a row of sequins on each lid.
A new fashion trend this season?
And, the lady exuded such charisma and charm.
Next time there is a concert gig in your town, catch it if you can (you won’t regret it).
4 stars!
