It will probably be the Next Big Thing at both indoor & outdoor theaters around the world, as well as on PBS pledge drive programs.

There's a classical violinist popular today -- I can't remember her name but I think she's Asian -- who dresses like this in concert & on her CD covers. Her star is rising, rising, rising.

Thanks for sharing it, tui!

ooo...thanks for your input David (I can't say I understand everything you said but it's always interesting!! ) Glad you enjoyed it, they sure are different aren't they.
