She sang the same songs as she did on her last concert here in jacksonville. Waste of money with the diversity of songs she must have in repertoire
She was a great performer! However, this show was marketed by Ticketmaster as her, but was actually a Jacksonville Childrens' Choir event, which consumed the first half of the show. I did not realize this until I purchased the ticket and printed it...
OMG, Audra was wonderful. Don't miss any opportunity to see her live.
Audra McDonald continues to be one of the most outstanding vocalists and song stylists in the U.S. Her song choices were a good sampling of songs she has recorded, and are also her favorites, The problem with the concert was that after every single song, she sat down to chat with the host of the evening and Ms. McDonald's accompanist, Seth Rudetsky. Each chat session lasted close to 10 minutes. Seth Rudetsky is self-absorbed and only cares about making himself look good. He talks extremely fast and is hard to understand. He also continually cut off Ms.McDonald when she tried to answer one of his questions in order to try to (unsuccessfully) make himself appear funny and charming. We paid a substantial amount of money to hear Audra McDonald sing, not to hear Seth Rudetsky talk nonsense for close to two hours. I don't believe Ms. McDonald sang more than eight or nine songs the entire evening. I understand that this format with Mr. Rudetsky is quite common at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale. I would never purchase again a ticket for an event where he is the moderator. I would have given the concert a 5-star rating had Ms. McDonald been allowed to command the stage for the entire concert.
Unique set-up creates a unique experience. Her enthusiasm and engagement with the crowd produced a wonderful event. The inclusion of performances by her husband did not enhance the quality of the concert. But overall truly one of the best musical evenings for me and for my guests. Room is perfect: Nothing to impede sound or view, plenty of space between you and the row of seats in front of you, slope of floor means you are looking over the heads of the people in front of you
I've seen Audra twice on Broadway where she was sensational. The Broadway Concert series with host Seth Rudetsky was touching, funny and filled with beautiful songs. I only wish she had done more with her husband on stage.
I have seen audra since her first play on Broadway and she somehow gets better all the time. Her voice is a gift that only improves with the years. And what a delightful person she is. The format was wonderful and her duets with her husband were most special. All in all, a great evening.
I love Audra McDonald but didn't like the format of the performance. There was too much dialogue and not enough singing. I came to hear her magnificent voice and left wanting more. She is wonderful and adorable so the evening was pleasant but my comment would be less talk and more vocals.
Really enjoyed the intimate setting and informality of the Audra McDonald event at the Parker Playhouse on 1/02/16. Although not a full blown concert - more an evening with type deal - we still got more than our monies worth.
She is fabulous. Format was not. Way too much conversation and not nearly enough singing. It was hardly a concert. Way too expensive for chit chat. Ultimately we were disappointed.
The show was absolutely amazing. Enjoyed the format and Audra MacDonald has an unbelievable voice. Would see her again and again.
Fantastic voice; she is funny, she is beautiful. Got to know more about her through the talk-show setting.
We loved the show. I actually enjoyed the repartee between her and Seth Rudetsky, because it gave us the chance to know her as a person instead of just as a performer. I've seen her in several Broadway shows, and was a fan of Private Practice on TV. I particularly loved the way she "acts" her songs and brings them to life. She is an amazing singer and actress.
Audra McDonald, Will Swenson and Seth Rudetsky absolutely brought the house down last Saturday night at the Parker Playhouse. An exceptional song selection by Ms McDonald coupled with her world class voice left the audience speechless with several standing ovations punctuating each number. That along with personal insights drawn out by Set Rudetsky made an intimate evening despite a sold out house. We loved every minute of it.
As always, a great performance. A truly wonderful evening of beautiful music, Audra's beautiful voice and her true warmth, compassion and graciousness shines through. I left the theatre with two words, Amazing and Wow!
I think this is the 5th time I've seen Audra McDonald. And Parker Playhouse is my favorite place. We were 6th row almost center. That's about eye level with the performers, 60 feet away.
Audra is spectacular, sensational, stupendous, masterful and simply endowed with talent and grace. Gorgeous too.
Just excellent. This is just an housekeeping for Attucks Theater There was some sticky residue/glue on the floor in which maintenance remove the molding and shoes got stuck to the floor.
Ms.McDonald gave an awesome concert. She was witty and gave background on the songs she sang flawlessly. It was a wonderful evening and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. She sang several of my favorites including "Summertime ".
It was a wonderful concert. Audra McDonald shared a lot about herself. She also sang a variety of songs of different genres and keys including some that were somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I wish that the concert had been longer.
