ROVING PITTSBURGHER REPORT
“Wicked” at Benedum, Better than Broadway, treat yourself to this first class musical at the Benedum, it is lights, sound, magic and wonderful smoke and mirrors to escape into fantasy and fun. Favorite character: Glenda, the ditzy good witch. Favorite number “Defying Gravity.” Wicked plays at Benedum through October 2nd.

Labor Day Weekend, Mahalia Jackson: Standing On Holy Ground
Even if you were not a gospel fan, it was a great edifying , soul satisfying, toe tapping way to spend Sunday on Labor Day week end in the Kelly Strayhorn Theater. Don’t think Broadway could have done it better.
Cast for Mahaila Jackson
Mahalia Jackson—Twyla Glasgow and Lorraine Berry
Young Mahalia Jackson (Halie)—Imani Wilkerson and Melanie Yellowday
Reverend Clark/Martin Luther King, Jr.— Benjamin Blakey, sounded just like Dr. King
Johnson Singers - Michael Rue, Terri Smith, Richard Hutchins
Clara Ward Singers - Katy Cotton, Bernice Wilkerson, Delana Flowers (PPL Mag’s own Good News Reporter)
Deryck Tines Director and pianist

| Family house polo match! |
Watch for interviews next week on front page of PPL Mag on PositivelyPittsburghTV
Family House Executive director Kristi Knot, David Allen, Voice of Family House Polo for 28 years. Match between the Virginia Polo Club and the Potomac Polo Club. Dante Totadini from the Potomac Team, my personal favorite being that he is Italian but the most valuable player was Mary Muldoon and the most valuable scenery to my videographer were the wonderful cocktail and afternoon summer frocks and I especially love the big hats. Everyone enjoyed the stomping of the divets as seen in Pretty Woman.
