The acting and singing were outstanding. The cast was well studied. The orchestra played very well and blended with the performers quite well. The only drawback was the sound technicians. They should have showed up for another rehearsal or two. They missed cues and reached beyond feedback threshold limits a time or two. Otherwise, enjoyable show.
I felt that over all the performance was great. The 1st half was a bit long and the songs were a little wordy, but the 2nd half was strong and really kept me interested and glad to be there. I did not like seeing the orchestra on the stage , it was often hard to see who was singing and who was not. There were also too many sound problems as well. I would recommend this show to a friend.
The production was magnificant. I took my granddaughter, who is 12, to see Titanic. It was her first musical production. She is hooked. The Civic, as always is a great house, as well. We both totally enjoyed the evening. The only negative thing I could say is that is was very warm inside the theater.
Titanic: The Musical was very enjoyable! Great show! The only complaints we had about the event was that they seemed to be having some technical difficulties with the sound system with a few incidents of feedback and several times not being able to hear the actors speak/sing. Also, and I can only speak for the back of the orchestra seating area, it was very hot! But, like I said above, the show itself was great!
The problem was the temperature of the room was way too hot which made me sleepy. The room was also dry and I had trouble with my contacts because of the dryness.
I've always loved the Akron Civic Theater, having grown up in Akron and having attended productions at the Civic in all its stages of progress. It is a grand jewel of a theater, a work of art in itself. It was, therefore, an inspired choice for staging the musical, "Titanic," on the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster. The Akron Symphony performed (beautifully), and their artistic directors and designers put together a moving and credible performance. They assembled accomplished actor/ singers from the amazing pool of talent in the greater Cleveland/ Akron area. Their casting choices were excellent . The set was simple and functional, creating just the right amount of dramatic flow. The orchestra occupied the center of the stage, and one had the feeling that they were on board the ship, playing until the very end. The whole production was emotionally and esthetically very satisfying. It was-- please forgive me-- A Night to Remember.
My husband and I enjoyed the show very much. Music and vocalists were great. There was trouble with the microphones at times throughout the show.
The orchestra program was very well done and much appreciated by the audience. The violin soloist was amazing...such wonderful tone and depth of feeling in a performer so young is unbelievable. As always the accoustice in the hall were top notch. Nicely planned program and extremely well executed. Bravo !
Another unforgettable year enjoyed by our entire crew and guests. Can't wait for the 20th next year!
The choir and orchestra were so good. So much good talent in the show. Maestro Wilkins is top notch and The LeGrair Brothers were out of this world! That talent should not go unnoticed or untapped.
I was looking for gospel music more like the style that James Brown performed in The Blues Brothers movie i.e. up-beat, and hard rocking. Or something like the gospel sound of Elvis Presley. In my opinion, gospel and symphony do not work well together. The rhythm section and choir overpowered the orchestra.
Show was really nice. Lots to see. Chorus, orchestra and soloists. All were entertaining even the conductors.Music was beautiful. Well rehearsed yet spontaneous.
They just keep getting better !. How can you choose a favorite with so many great performers.No one would have thought they were volunteers singers, They were all class act. professional.
My entire family - my two daughters (16 & 5) my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
This was a fun concert for our 14 yr old musical theatre crzed daughter.
We enjoyed the evening so much! The Divas were outstanding and complemented each other very well. As always, the Akron Symphony was wonderful. All in all, a great evening filled with great music and talent.
My wife and I enjoyed about half of the songs. Nicole was by far the better vocalist, we didn't think much of Ali at all. I was disappointed at the large number of instrumental orchestral selections, when the show had been billed as a "Diva" vocal performance. The rhythm section of the orchestra was off-time to the point of being distracting throughout most of the pieces, and the orchestra at times felt sloppy and unpracticed. The highlight, no question, was Nicole doing the piece from Spamalot. She was funny and held the audience in her hand, whereas Ali's nasal voice and distracting vibrato torpedoed every song she sang. Overall it was an OK show, but I wouldn't recommend it.
singers where amazing, orchestra was so so, overall nice evening out.
It was awesome - their voices are great! The symphany was great! Loved the comraderie between the Diva's and the conductor.
Balcony seats were cheaper AND we had a great view! The volume wasn't outstanding, though the orchestra was great! Also, the staff working the event that night were VERY courteous and helpful.
