You could hear a pin drop at the theatre last night when Antony began singing. Boy George said it best (he came on mid-way through to sing 'You Are My Sister' with Antony) - "you break my heart when you sing". There were posters all over the theatre asking for silence and no smoking during the show (and all of the bars were closed during his performance). His wishes were granted so the only issue he could come up with after his first song was something to do with the sound (sounded fine to me but then I'm not a diva). After his first number he stormed backstage to bitchslap a soundman then returned and asked us to forgive him for his Mariah Carey behaviour. Oh how we laughed. By the time he got to 'Hope There's Someone' grown men were weeping and straight boys were holding hands with each other. The Velvet Underground classic 'Candy Says' closed the evening and Antony left us with Lou's perceptive words:
"What do you think I'd see, If I walked away from me?".
