I loved the show! El Paso has lots of talent—great singing, acting and dancing!! The male lead was my favorite, he sings beautifully. The Veracruz wedding was very festive. Mariachis were great but I’d like for them to be louder in certain scenes. This show makes me proud to be from El Paso! Bravo Viva!!
I do miss the family connections from the old script but I do love the new WWII scene and the Don Haskins scene. I also love the shout out to the veterans, that is a great touch. As always the singing and dancing were great and it was just a wonderful show all the way around. My only suggestion is mic'ing up the mariachis. You can barely hear them and they are crucial to the show. Otherwise, everything was great, love, love, LOVE it!! Going back this weekend.
Dancers were off beat and were obviously out of sync the entire night. This show no longer truly portrays the history of El Paso. Sound was horrible, one singer was off key the entire song. Felt like we were watching community theater. Our entire group could not wait until it was over as we lost interest 10 minutes into it. Sadly, this show needs to go. Please bring back the original show!
It was a very enjoyable show, but I believe it was one of the first of the season and the sound was difficult to hear.
Had family in from out of town and show was rained out so that is why a gave it 2 stars. Weren't able to go back on Saturday, hopefully I get a full refund.
The production wasn't as good as it has been in past years.
Good effort on the part of the young performers, but this show isn't what it used to be. PLEASE bring back the original story!!
This is a show that all families should see and recommend to all friends. Good place and well done performed, lights, music and scenography are very good and the whole dancers group offer to the public a play to remember and recommend to all friends.
Entertaining for the family and friends. I really enjoyed this show.
Choreography and costumes outstanding. Relaying historical events was well done! Interest was held during the entire evening.
What happened! I recall when viva was wonderful and worth the price. I was disappointed and bit embarrassed. Brought friends from San Antonio and Austin, and I bragged about what it used to be 10 years ago. The audio was poor, the story line was hard to follow, and really lights on the earth's elements costumes- Nah, sometimes things are better left as they once were- the original costumes. I would not pay the price to go see this again- ever. Comparing El Paso to other Texas city performances, El Paso has the talent, but what is lacking? Why can't they put a good show with good sound, lighting, and performances?
the show was really nice unfortunately we were not able to hear some of the performers because either their mic was off or not working and it started raining after intermission and were not refunded. Took family from out of town to see the show and they were disappointed they were not able to finish watching the entire show.
Great show but average performers at best. Needs better sound equipment and was missing that special something that makes it outstanding.
Viva El Paso was a cute show with energetic singing and dancing. It dragged a bit in parts, but the performers kept things moving along. Biggest problem was the sound. Something was wrong with the sound for many of the performers, and their mikes didn't work. It was hard to hear probably 30 percent of the show. Hopefully this problem gets fixed.
Last year's production of Viva was horrible! This year's productions shows promise and made many improvements. The biggest problem seemed to be with the sound system. Also, there is still some work that needs to be done with the chronological order of the production. i.e. When you introduce the mestizo, do not go back to the Spanish dancers, bring back the charro on the mountain! Overall, the performance was nice and is a beautiful representation of our history and culture. Well done!
The show was in its opening weekend, so I'm sure the glitches will get better. The sound was just awful, mics failed and the speakers were super loud when they worked. There were a lot of missed cues, and the acting was pretty stiff, especially the elements of nature.
Besides the main characters and especially la abuela. Actung could be better. Lines forgotten. The sound system kept cutting out.
We enjoyed this show very much. Made for a great family gathering.
I was very disappointed in the quality of the (most of) dancers and some of the actors. I had been to previous productions and this one did not rate up to par. The folklorico dancers seemed to have the most professional dancers.
Being to new to El Paso, this was our first experience in a community event. We thought the show was great and would recommend it to others.
