Not as funny as we had been told. I think we were sitting too far back, as we could not see their expressions on their faces, well, I think that is a big part in what would make you laugh. A couple times we could not understand what was said, and that wasn't funny; otherwise it was funny. The wardrobe was hilarious.
Redneck humor at its finest (?). Not nearly as funny as we had heard. The acting itself was very good but the characters got old after awhile. We actually left after the first act.
Tuna Christmas was everything I could have wanted to keep that Christmas feeling going. A must-see for those who have lived life in a small town and recognize every one of these characters.
I've been a "Tuna" fan from the beginning back in the early '80s. "Tuna Christmas" is my favorite, and it just gets better every year.
This was the 3rd time seeing Tuna Christmas and it was as good or better then the1st time I saw some years ago. It was my wife's 1st time seeing the show and she was surprised by how convincing each character was played to the point where you did not see the actors, but the characters. I tried to tell her how good it was before we went, but she had to see for herself and she loved it!!! Definitely another TUNA convert!! We will be looking forward to the next TUNA show that comes to San Antonio!!
What a disappointment and waste of money!! I should have researched the show better before buying tickets. Definitely not the family Christmas comedy show I had read and heard about. I certainly didn't expect the foul language which continued downhill as the show progressed. We left at intermission.
This is the second time I have seen this play and it was just as funny the second time around!! I would highly recommed seeing this. Joe Sears and Jaston Williams are totally awesome!!!! Well worth the money!
Joe Sears and Jaston Williams gave us a supurb performance. I have already started to tell others how great a show this was and not to miss it.
If you are a sensitive person, don't see this play. The subjects are not PC, and at times difficult to understand the subject. The actors speak with a heavy 'twang' which borders on a Redneck stereotype. A black couple seated a row over left after the KKK reference and seemed eager to leave. The laughter at some of the dialog pointed to how many of the audience truly thought, but will not speak as such in public. The play lacked a defined middle and end to the story they where trying to tell. Many of the paths they took where left empty and with no conclusion. I was not overly impressed with the actors themselves. At times they fell over their lines and did not provide a very clear adible clarity.
This was a really enjoyable show. I also found the actors easier to understand than in previous shows I've seen of them. My mother and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one.
The audio was bad-- couldn't understand half of what they said. The jokes somewhat dissapointing.
Who would think that two guys could pull off a multilayered comedy set in the backwoods town of "Tuna" Texas? They hit all the funny points, played each character with zeal, and had the audience wanting more. Funny on multiple levels. My teenaged daughters didn't quite get the humor and the audience was largely in their 40s and beyond. Highly recommended!
It seemed popular with those who had been to previous Tuna productions, who cheered softly when an an old, familiar character appeared...but it relied far too much on the characters oddities...long pauses...sighs....rushing other parts. The OKKK and Klan reference were offensive to my guest...a native Texan who was unfortunately on the hurting side of such people who were/are all too real.
I've seen Tuna Christmas about 11 years ago in a smaller and more intimate theater and thought it was funny then, but watching it at the Majestic in San Antonio was completely boring. We left 3/4 into the show....I don't think I laughed one time.....Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.....I wish, I could get my money back.
The show was great, as always! New happenings every Christmas in Tuna - so you don't ever want to miss a year.
My wife and I decided to give our children a gift a family night at the theatre for the holidays to see A Tuna Christmas. The two of us had previously seen the trilogy of Tuna shows over twenty yeara ago and thought our children would love the characters from Tuna, TX. Needless, to say we were not disappointed. The characters remain as fresh today as they were over two decades ago. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they saw several of our family members amongst the characters particularly one DeeDee Snively. It was a wonderful night and one my family will cherish for a long time. They will, they will, they will.
A show that only has two actors depends a great deal on the stage sets, the costumes and the dialogue. These elements were present for this show. It made for an enjoyable evening.
This was my first time going to see "A Tuna Christmas". The experience was NOT what I expected. The crowd constantly projected and spoke about what was coming up (at least those that I was seated around). For those of us new to the play, this forecasting of the play was incredibly annoying and served as a distraction. The acting itself was fine but I found the accents too thick. I had trouble understanding what the actors were even saying. I suspect that due to this problem much of the humor was lost on me. As much as I tried I just didn't find it funny and so I left show at intermission.
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We will go again.
Although the material and characters were excellent, the theatre (Majestic) was so hot that evening, we sadly had to leave at intermission. We saw others leave as well. Most people were fanning themselves with their Playbill. Very disappointing. We mentioned it on the way out and the ushers agreed it was their top complaint.
