This was without a doubt one of the most memorable concerts I've ever attended. The venue was great. So intimate that you felt that he was singing just to you.The concert from beginning to end was Magnificent. Dr. Tynan has the voice of an angel and was kind enough to share his gift with all who were in attendance. This was Dinner theater at it's best.
The show was great but Ronan performed for about an hour. I was expecting a longer show. Dinner was very good.
I saw Ronan Tynan last year when he attended my company's national conference. I loved him and was so happy to see he was coming to Philadelphia. The concert was everything I hoped for (although he didn't sing Allelujah which is my favorite of his). His voice is incredible and he has a great connection with the audience. Lots of funny stories between songs. At the end he signed CD's and took pictures. A lovely, lovely man!
Ronan was engaging and covered the music spectrum with a good deal of focus on the Irish. The meal was very good also.
I think I would like to have a little more singing, his voice is magnificent but his interaction with the audience was incredible. He thinks really fast on his feet and comes out with the funniest comments. it was a fabulous show, he didn't just sing. I would see it again in an instant.
The show was exceptional. Ronan Tynan is a superb talent. His voice is astounding, his mental catalogue of Irish (and other) songs is beyond belief. Obviously, his life story (born handicapped, lost his twin, amputee, medical degree and career, singing career) is so far beyond that which most of us would ever dream of is another thing entirely. It informs his brilliant story telling and humor, and is inseparable from his singing. His accompanist, Billy, is an essential part of the show. His piano playing is impeccable, and his singing is surprisingly excellent. He does counterpoint to Tynan, with perfect harmonies delivered with style. A local woman, Pauline (Wells?), sings some nice songs with two terrific guitarists to give Tynan a break and provide a contrast. She is not remotely on the same level, but does a nice job. Tynan is a tad too unctuous with his descriptions of her ("Let's welcome this beautiful lady." about ten times, and the hugging and kissing and "Oh, your husband is here." is a little over the top and unnecessary, and detracts from the quality of the show. When Ronan sings with nuance and feeling, he has no equal. His rendition of "My Old Man" wrenched tears from everyone in the audience. When he simply uses his pipes to overpower a song, it is disappointing. His version of "Danny Boy" is the worst song in the show. He just belts the whole thing. Do not the words, "when soft you tread above me," not require feeling? He too often revels in his power and volume, to the detriment of the music.
Ronan Tynan is an amazing tenor. He is also very funny. He captivated the audience all night long! Patricia Wells was great as well.
If you like Irish tenors. then Ronan Tynan may be your "guy." The base show is Ronan Tynan with his pianist, William (Billy) Lewis. Lewis was excellent and has a terrific voice as well. The only problem was we sat (Wilbur Theater - Boston) at the side about 7 rows back where the amplifiers were booming the tenor's high volume songs directly at us. In hindsight, i would have ordered tickets on the mezzanine level not the floor. if you have seen the Irish Tenors, you would have viewed Tynan in a formal appearance. This was very different as Tynan was very laid back, comical (even irreverent), and presented a very casual appearance. There was a lot of funny conversation between Tynan and Lewis as well as stories from Tynan to the audience. Well worth seeing!
I have never seen Ronan Tynan in concert; and I feel like he is so very talented I expected more. I was not there for the chat or comedy, I was there to see him Sing and we did not get enough of that. We were disappoiinted
Ronan is a consummate professional with such charisma and wit -- he is mesmerizing. He and his pianist, Billy, are the perfect match. You will never be disappointed at any of their performances -- they are truly magical.
