Deborah Henson-Connant at the Theater

When the harp starts the mind is transported. Deborah Henson-Conant begins a tour of her freshly written one woman, story telling, high octane, finger lickin’ good musical, “What The Hell Are You Doing In The Waiting Room For Heaven?”. I saw her at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge. Often funny, sometimes pensive. Sometimes its about the harp, sometimes about the song. Deborah commands the minimalist stage with her voice, her charm, and her white angel gown cum wedding cum first communion short skirted, fishneted, gold booted costume. Two white veils flow from her back up and up like cloudy wings suspended from on high. They are in sinc with the playful mood of the show, a mood that surfaces Deborah’s message – we don’t need to impress nobody but ourselves – no need to wait for an audition to get into heaven. Go Debby Go! Catch her anywhere you can at www.hipharp.com.
