SAN DIEGO GAY MEN’S CHORUS Who doesn’t love a reprieve, a revisit, a re-
vival? It’s hard to believe that the ‘90s were already 20-plus-years ago and high-energy music that had us pumpin’ up the jam across those dance floors is now considered way “old school.” I mean really, what was wrong acid-washed denim, clunky boots and all those neon accoutrements? Doesn’t everybody want to glow in the dark? And who could forget the megahit sounds of Mariah Carey, ‘N Sync, Seal, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Alanis Morrisette, or the fabulousness of the explosive hits from RuPaul, Ce Ce and Destiny’s Child? Well now’s your chance to relive the magic
atWow! The Chorus Sings the ‘90s taking place Saturday and Sunday, April 5 and 6 at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. And don’t forget to check out theRed Carpet Oscar Viewing Party fundraiser on Sunday, March 2 at Flicks—prizes, food, cocktails and fun! For more information on this or to purchase tickets to an upcoming concert, call 877.296.7664 or go
