Lost in the Stars was an evening of songs and stories that she will perform again at 5 p.m. tonight (Sunday, April 12). Ashford revisited the disco of Donna Summer, Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall, and even emceed an Alanis Morissette singalong. She also performed a medley from her Broadway and off-Broadway shows. It was all woven together by Ashford’s heartfelt stories, many of which covered the Wheat Ridge High School alum’s days growing up in Denver.

Saturday’s performance brought dozens of friends and influences from Ashford’s days growing up in Denver. There was a meet-and-greet after the show, and we were there for pictures. (There is not a similar reception after tonight’s show because Ashford has a plane to catch.) Photos by John Moore.
