The Granada was a pop music paradise on Tuesday evening, as two exciting dance acts brought queer and femme joy to the stage.
Betty Who, hot off an electrifying performance at World Pride in DC, stopped by Lawrence on her “Out of the Darkness” tour. Paired with two extremely good looking backup dancers, the athletic trio treated the excitable (and mostly queer) crowd to joyful choreography. It’s hard enough to sing perfectly with powerhouse vocals like Betty Who’s, but adding in nonstop movement and cardio was an impressive feat that can very well take your breath away (think Sporty Spice). There was no live instrumentation on this night, but there didn’t need to be. Betty Who and her dancers used every inch of the stage and paired the thrilling performance with an exciting light show.
Molly Grace opened with major 90’s girl group vibes. The sultry R&B/pop artist channeled Mariah Carey with a cheeky attitude, debuted new singles, and (like Betty Who) was paired with two backup dancers who also provided backup vocals (she called them her “lover girls”). She delivered Jessica Rabbit moves in matching fluffy pink cotton candy costumes with her dancers, and her vocals were so sweet she gave everyone an instant cavity that night.
