Met-Lovin' Big Shots

[G-Fafif]

Mr. M played the Anthem at Shea before Game One of the NLDS.

Meanwhile, another Chenoweth sighting from broadwayworld.com:

]A most untraditional sound came out of the speakers of The Metropolitan Opera Friday night. Just as music director/conductor Andrew Lippa lifted his arms to cue the 11-piece orchestra to begin the evening�s program he was interrupted by the rhythmic chords of an organ playing the type of energizing vamp more typical for a ballpark than an opera house. After a hearty �da-da-da-dat-da-da� charge!� the evening�s soloist dashed out wearing a New York Mets jersey and cap, gleefully waving a pennant and asking if anyone knows where the hot dog stand is. After being tactfully corrected by Lippa (�It�s not the Mets. It�s The Met.), Kristin Chenoweth slipped backstage and, at the climax of a lively Lippa-composed overture, was revealed as the golden curtains parted looking, well, �gorgeous� in a red sparkly mini-dress as she regaled the crowd with the Bock and Harnick showstopper of the same name.

Like what she was wearing in the first place wasn't gorgeous?

Ms. Chenoweth hails from Broken Arrow, OK, which is where Joe Frazier calls home. But I believe it's got another Met connection which I can't put my finger on.
