Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Some performers, like Madonna, are shrewd enough to continually reinvent themselves in order to remain culturally relevant. And other performers, like Vanessa Williams, are talented enough to maintain their cultural relevance simply through sheer awesomeness. A Grammy-winning recording artist, Tony-nominated stage actress, and Emmy-winning actress, the dethroned Miss America knows how to make a comeback.

But we do remember dedicating Williams’s hit single “Save the Best for Last” to our high school girlfriend and laughing our ass off at the diva’s delightfully devilish portrayal of Wilhelmina Slater on ABC’s Ugly Betty. This Saturday, Williams will bring her baby-blues to the Arsht Center. For $200 plus tax and tip, you get a three-course meal at Prelude by Barton G, preferred seating for the show, plus the experience of watching Ms. Williams seduce a microphone.
