Kristin Chenoweth Wows Em at the Winspear » actwinspeardoor

Last night was the first time they rolled up the glass walls of the Winspear. While some of the women in slinky dresses were a little taken aback by the chill in the air as they entered the lobby from the performance hall, I thought it was magical.

This was the first time I got to see the Winspear's retractable chandelier in full effect. Very cool. After the show, someone who was involved with its construction showed me pics on his iPhone of what the chandelier can REALLY do. Apparently this is top secret. But the thing can assume all sorts of shapes, and it can produce every color imaginable.
Veletta Forsythe Lill and I were chatting just outside the Winspear when we spotted Spencer de Grey wandering around with a big smile on his face and a camera tethered to his wrist. He, of course, is Sir Norman Foster's design partner. He said he was thrilled with the way the Winspear has turned out. He also said that he found everyone in Dallas to be quite friendly and that he looks forward to returning.
