Seminole Creek
by mavblues on 3/1/15Seminole Coconut Creek Casino - Coconut CreekRating: 3 out of 5This is my 2nd time seing this show - saw it a few years ago at Parker Playhouse. First of all, Chazz is excellent. His performance is unlike anything you've ever seen. The show is well written, and he performs with very high energy.
That being said, there were several differences noted from the first time I saw this show:
1) Whomever was running the sound board was AWFUL. (I own an AV business) I was sitting near the rear of the room (not far from the sound board), and my entire party had difficulty hearing Chazz speak. The pre-recorded sounds (music, sound effects) were all plenty loud, it was only Chazz that we couldn't hear. We could, however, hear music and slot machine noise coming from outside the theater. Very disappointing, and it prevented us from being drawn into the story as we should. I wasn't the only one having problems hearing; throughout the show, people in other parts of the theater were "shushing" others in an effort to hear the show.
2) The set was much more simplistic this time: just a stoop, a bar sign, a street lamp, and a street sign. Last time, they had a few building backdrops. Not a big deal, but having the building backdrops made the presentation much nicer.
Overall, I would see this again, but the sound guy needs to be fired.
