ldyjocelyn Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gives a preview of the event starting tonight. https://www.post-gazette.com/ae/theater-dance/2021/07/21/CLO-celebrates-75-years-with-star-studded-show-at-Heinz-Field/stories/202107200162 Full text in the news thread. Pictures with Clay. Gotta love the pants. Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Also, I guess you can buy cheap seats through TicketMaster and then get a link to watch the show virtually. (Cheap seats are $15 a ticket, but by the time TM adds all their fees, it's almost double the price). Still, that might be something to consider. I'm unfortunately too busy the rest of the week. Did I post here that the Saturday show is cancelled? Link to comment
FearofH2O Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Sure looks like Clay is singing. Hopefully someone will capture it. I hope they sell a lot of tickets. Should be a fun event. Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 There are plenty of reports at CV from people who bought "tickets" for tonight. Clay has sung one song so far, a specially written piece about the CLO. Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 He's now singing "Copacabana" from the Barry Manilow musical (which I understand premiered with the CLO). I need to see this! 1 Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 "What Kind of Fool Am I?" is his song now. Many people are now trying to get tickets for the streaming! Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hey Ldyj, you feeling a bit lonely in here ?? So busy and I’m missing it . Whoa the pants.. are those zubaz? Remember when those were the rage? 😂. Oops look, a coat to match! Can I just say he looks extremely handsome tonite!? Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 It's a little lonely, but I consider it my job here, you know? The first suit is from one of Clay's favorites, Mr. Turk. I was able to find the slacks -- on sale for $140! As much as I've debated about it in my mind, I'm not going to spring for a streaming ticket for this. Many at CV are at this point, but I'd have to try to get for tomorrow night at this point (if I had bought tickets for tonight, it would have had to have been yesterday in order to get the streaming link today). Plus, I'm reading that the cheapest "seats" are now $35, which means almost $60 for a ticket. 15 years ago, I probably would have gone for it in a heartbeat. But now....heck, with a husband who has only a part-time job and trying to pay off a new roof for our house....every little bit of savings helps. I do feel like a bad fan though. More pictures from last night. Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 And two screenshots from one of the cast member's Instagram Stories. This was Clay's gift to all the cast. Link to comment
RIFAN Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Wow for all of the pictures! It’s been an exciting week for Clay fans for sure. The event in the Hamptons looked so intimate—almost like a private concert. If I still lived in RI, I could have taken the ferry to that one. Last night also looked like a real treat. Love that people were able to stream it. I’m guessing Clay has picked up more than a few new fans during this past week. 2 Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 wha..? Nice toast. Well if they get hungry... hee, he is so cute. Ldy, if you’re a bad fan- that makes me the worst. Sometimes all you can do is love him❤️ No video for us non streamers, right? Link to comment

ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Here's the scrumptious pictures. The suit? Gah. Love the purple accents. Up close, it's gorgeous. Link to comment
merrieeee Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 He has the best suits to perform in! Oh and his insurance is now good for another year Hee Hee! Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 A review of the show (full text in the news section): https://www.post-gazette.com/ae/theater-dance/2021/07/22/Review-Pittsburgh-CLO-Broadway-Musical-Celebration-Heinz-Field-2021/stories/202107220146 Gotta love this description of the suit: Quote Clay Aiken of “American Idol” fame came onto the stage in a suit resembling the thin, horizontal tiles of a kitchen backsplash, and carried the show with self-deprecating humor and breezy ad libs. They also liked the opening number he did. Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 That suit looks totally like a backsplash! 😂 I love how merrieeee proclaims every year how he has insurance coverage ..every dang year- so funny BAD FANS UNITE !?! Probably not the best new thread title 😝 Link to comment
RIFAN Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I love the “backsplash” jacket—not so much the pants. They looked too much like PJ bottoms. But, as far as I’m concerned, Clay can pretty much carry off anything he wears. He had so many “costume” changes—made it fun to see him with so many different looks. I’m sure he did “carry the show”—such a natural and still has “IT”!! Link to comment

FearofH2O Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks ldyj for the pictures at al. Sounds like a fun show. Clay doesnt seem to change. I hope he is as happy as he appears. It was a tough year for everyone. So glad to see some normalcy return. Link to comment
