Aimee, Mike and I had dinner tonight at a bar he works at on the weekend (security). We started by walking a small part of the mall. It is huge: I saw the ice rink, water park and area with a pirate ship where they have seal shows, and of course there are lots of stores too.
The Red Piano is in an area called Bourbon St, full of restaurants. We ate appetizers for dinner as we wanted to try a variety of what they had to offer. We had bison satay, calamari, alligator popcorn, home made chips and dips, fish tacos... all delicious.
At about 9 a man and a woman came out and settled at the 2 red pianos in the centre of the room. They were very entertaining and we only left, at about 11, as Aimee was feeling tired. The show was entirely request driven and interactive with the audience, some of whom sat or stood around the pianos. The performers (we saw 4 in total) sang, played piano, joked, interacted with the audience and one played guitar too. Their repetoire was amazing as requests included the expected (Billy Joel, Elton John), country (Johnny Cash, Keith Urban), heavy rock (Ac/dc, Queen, Meatloaf) and everything in between (Tina Turner, Heart). it was amazing and as we left more people were coming in and more people were singing along and dancing.
