Magster Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 This sounds like it will be absolutely terrific! I was lucky enough to see Lucie perform live about two-and-a-half years ago and she was absolutely FANTASTIC! She is actually performing in Norwalk, CT on October 29, which isn't too far from me. I'm trying really hard to save money, though, so I don't think I'll be able to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see her show, she is incredibly youthful looking and gorgeous for her age and sings like she dances, like a dream. You're lucky to have seen her perform. In that kind of setting i mean.
