	CONCERT REVIEW: Audra McDonald -- Natural Talent, Consummate Skill
		McDonald is touring the nation to support her upcoming album, a celebration of generally optimistic music dedicated to her new daughter.
		McDonald herself demonstrated her strong artistic integrity, her conscious dedication to exploring new territory, and, via her light-hearted stage banter, her easygoing, approachable personality.
		Additionally, McDonald’s bluesier voice tends to be accompanied by vocal idiosyncrasies which take some getting used to, but in general they do not detract from McDonald’s rare combination of artistry and intelligence, natural talent and consummate skill.

	Audra McDonald
		After Audra McDonald's audacious recording debut with Way Back to Paradise, a collection of newly composed, highly sophisticated theater music, this new disc dominated by Harold Arlen standards would seem to be a retrenchment.
		Audra McDonald comes out fine, though, not because she's better than her elders, but because she is different.
		For those who liked Audra's first cd, "Way Back to Paradise", (and even those who didn't) or have heard her on the soundtracks of "Ragtime" or "Carousel", Audra's voice reigns supreme on this cd.

		McDonald is justly associated with these legends because she sensitively and effortlessly combines drama, intelligence, emotion, and impressive skill (her background boasts an operatic training at Juilliard), with a strong drive and work ethic.
		McDonald sings these often times sugary songs with a sweet simplicity and a natural ease that is utterly beguiling.
		As indicated by her work thus far, Audra McDonald is sure to dazzle and impress whatever path she chooses to explore next.

	McDonald's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McDonald's also flattens the social strata during dining -- there is no problem of losing face for certain customers (who might be embarrassed when someone else ordered a more expensive item in a restaurant); the food at McDonald's is all similarly priced.
		McDonald’s is also required to spend up to $1.5 million on publishing notices to ensure that the public knows the status of its trans fat initiative.
		McDonalds has also been referenced twice while talking about Krusty burger, once as Police Chief Wiggum is saying that he went to some unheard-of restaurant called McDonalds, and another time as Fat Tony is collecting money from Krusty for keeping McDonalds out of Springfield.

		She broke barriers when she was still "Audra Ann McDonald" by being cast as the second lead in the 1994 revival of "Carousel"; it amused critics to no end that a character named Carrie Snow was being played by a fl woman.

		As Frank Rich put it, "The musical was dreamed up by artists eager to break free, to honor [the] old-world cultural past and yet transcend it, to create a new form as varied and exciting and of-the-moment as their new, melting pot country.
