The Boston Globe says "Maureen McGovern's voice remains powerful, supple, and expressive. She knows how to navigate a song's emotional peaks and valleys and how to woo and win an audience. When you hear her deliver these songs, it's a reminder of how much they deserve to live on." click here to read more.

I enjoyed it tremendously-Maureen is exactly 1 week older than me so I especially enjoyed the whole thing about turning 60-and the songs through the years- 50's, 60's,70's, 80's 90's- i would have liked to hear some jazz, however.
My husband and I literally traversed "A Long and Winding Road" to reach your theater to enjoy the show - which we did immensely, by the way. We don't get into Boston frequently, and the traffic and patterns of same are confusing to say the least. Armed with two different sets of directions, we amazingly actually found the theater and began searching for a parking spot. With many one-way streets, we went around in circles several times. Finally, apparently, we did not STOP, when we were supposed to as we were looking at signage, etc. and one of Boston's finest just happened to be right in front of us. He got out of his car and approached our vehicle, saying we did not STOP. My husband just started to relay our problem - that we were were lost looking for the Huntington Theatre, etc. I tried to intervene and tell him we were looking for a parking spot and had found the theater, but no one heard me. The policeman was so very helpful and said he would guide us and to follow him. We followed him in, around, and through Boston at a mighty clip - I might add - ending up at the OTHER Huntington Theater on Huntington Ave. OH my God - we were going to be late. I had to tell him it was the wrong theater. He then offered to guide us again - back to the Calderwood Pavilion and showed us where to park. We really had a grand tour of Boston - and did not get a traffic ticket. We made it to the show, very stressed - but just in time. As soon as Maureen McGovern started to sing, we relaxed, enjoyed her perfomance, laughed and reminisced. Well, we know where you are now and where to park. Hopefully, that will never occur again. Boston has great officers - maybe it was our gray hair that had an effect on him. He probably was cursing "senior citizens".
Dear abbygirl,
Thank you so much for sharing your story! And thanks to the BPD for being so helpful.
We continue to refine our venue information, and driving and parking directions but five years after opening the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA we still hear stories about people going to the wrong place.
If you have any ideas how we can help you find us better, please let us know.
