Bacharach is indeed good.  Last time he came to Raleigh (six years
ago), I went to the afternoon rehearsal that was open to the public.
The cost of the ticket was way way lower (I didn't see that he was
doing the open rehearsal this time) and he told lots of jokes.  I kind
of want to be him...Whoever it was singing the Dionne Warwick and Karen
Carpenter parts was kind of non-descript.
