The Bedt Yet!
Pantages Theater - Tacoma
We really look forward to this event every December, and this was the best one ever! That said, it is a very high bar. The concert was a ton of fun, and believe it or not, it was also educational. Do you know what a mondegreen is? If not, you will know after the concert. If you already do, your repertoire will be expanded I promise. Voices were pitch perfect, the dancing was fantastic, and the range of selections was interesting. All I can say is-GO! If I could I’d go again…

A glorious celebration of the holidays!
Pantages Theater - Tacoma
I went with my parents to this event. The chorus was incredible! The arrangements, choreography, costumes, and dancing were all masterfully done. I felt so much joy and holiday spirit being in that theater! I thought the song about "Misheard Christmas lyrics"was really clever and liked that there was a mash up of traditional and non-traditional holiday music. There are performances from the acapella group, a celebration of holiday drag, Elton John-akah (Chanakah songs in the style of Elton John), and even a racy number about Santa's Lost Ho (This is the only number where those who are more conservative may take umbridge as it does include a some PG-13 language and a tear-away tuxedo.) A wonderful show. We're going to bring the whole family next year!

Past member excellent concert
Pantages Theater - Tacoma
The show was musically great as well as entertaining. The drummer boy number with the dance group was my favorite. Sound balance on first few numbers was not good as it made the pieces sound lower range heavy almost unison, this improved as show progressed. My only complaint is not about the Chorus but the ticket sales. Secondary ticket sellers really jacked the price charging double to triple the price found on the chorus website. Also, the service fees are ridiculous for a paperless transaction. This resulted in way too many empty seats in a performance that is usually sold out and made the performance unaffordable to many in the community because of this scalping if they looked only at these sights (Tacoma Arts Live) as an example. Also, Ticketmaster whom I went through did not disclose until after purchase that ticket was mobile phone accessible only. Since I do not have a mobile phone, it involved an extra trip to the box office to get tickets printed before the show to insure access. These ticket sellers are adversely affecting attendance at a cost to the performing group. I will go directly to box office in the future, not online.

One of SMC Best Ever in 30 years!
Pantages Theater - Tacoma
We have always enjoyed the SMC performances at Christmas time in Tacoma and Seattle for many years. Prior to the pandemic we were somewhat disappointed when the director change occured because initially the SMC seemed to be heading a more "traditional direction"as the expense of the joy and humor the SMC had provided for so many performances. It appears that unique character of the SMC has found its way again and the 2023 performance at the Pantages was ABSOLUTELY one of the finest we have every experienced. The director, chorus and musicians were all on point. Very happy to have been there. Keep up the great work SMC!!

Totally unexpected in a wonderful and unexpected way
Pantages Theater - Tacoma
I expected a typical choir performance of Christmas songs. Boring. Was dragged along by my friend and bought tickets for her sake. What a surprise! Great choir, good music, and funny and entertaining production. In addition, the joy of your choir, and additional members was infectious and made the night more enjoyable. Overall, great show and thanks for coming to Tacoma. Do you send out your schedule of concerts?

The men’s choir was amazing!
Paramount Theatre - Seattle
This was a great show, I was blown away. Not only was the singing excellent but I loved the personal stories that were told throughout the event. This should be an annual event, I would love to come again for more Disney songs and stories.
