We saw Mary Wilson, the normal Supreme, last time she was here. She's not the mean diva, she's not the cheated one and she's not the replacement: She's the original, and what a lady. She delivered all the soignée celebrity, all the gown-clad class, and most importantly, all the mad talent we could have wanted. Consider the woman who not only gave us one-third of the music and glamour of the Supremes, but also someone whose tell-nearly-all book Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme offers up tasteful details about relationships with Steve McQueen and, fan yourself, Tom Jones. At "Mary Wilson: Up Close … Encore!" see the world famous soul and R&B chanteuse in a gorgeous cabaret setting, performing international smash hit after international smash hit.
