“Karen” Megan Mullaly and the Supreme Music Program

When I heard that Megan Mullally was coming to London I had to get tickets. Now I know in my mind that Megan Mullally is not Karen but I will forever remember her and love in that role. I’ve subsequently seen Megan appear in numerous shows including The New Adventures of Old Christine, Parks and Recreation, and Fame even and I have stilled loved her. To be honest I didn’t even know what I was expecting tonight as I hadn’t looked at any of the promotion material. I was surprised that actually she was here to sing with her band the Supreme Music Program.

I don’t even know how to describe her style – she mainly did covers of jazz, country and western, blues, and rock songs and all seemingly related to death or loss or sadness! How odd! In between pieces however she was amusingly charming and self-depracating. I hardly knew any of the songs but that didn’t stop me enjoying the show.

What was strange was that she constantly referred to a music stand with her sheet music on it. I would have thought she’d have known the stuff off by heart by now having performed with her band for over ten years!
