As part of Honors Week before the event, the Kennedy Center is hosting a series of performances to pay tribute to the awardees. Last night, we attended the Millennium Stage performance honoring awardees Reba McEntire and Cher. The Capital Hearings, a D.C. a cappella group, performed a set of Reba's songs.
Then, Chad Michaels, the "nation's #1 Cher impersonator and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season one winner," performed a set of Cher's songs. Chad's performance was spectacular. The audience enjoyed it immensely. You can see it by clicking here. (Chad/Cher appears at 24:10.)

Seeing last night's performance was a wonderful finale to the many wonderful Millennium Stage performances during Year 3. Thank you, Kennedy Center.
