Diana Krall Tickets

The show was fantastic! I wish she would have talked about her duets with Tony Bennett

Her musicians, including herself, are ABOVE the TOP! Her stage presence is - kinda boring. She seems like a very shy person, but as long as she has been in the music business, you would think she would unwind a bit. Maybe a smokey bar venue, she would loosen up and communicate with her fans. All in all, I will still listen to her music but not sure I would attend another show. (UNLESS it was in a bar, ha!) Play on Diana- still a fan.

Diana Krall played to a full house at Hoyt Sherman! Great preference and the staff is so kind and helpful! The sound could of been a little better but all and all great!

I sure appreciate (and enjoy) "jazz venues"where sets give the band members their opportunities to show their chops. But...for this event, I paid to see/hear/watch Diana. And, frankly, there was not enough of "her"and too much of "them"... and it was over in just 90 minutes. I love and respect her talent on the keyboard and vocals, but this event left me longing for more of that. (And, the callback tribute to Tony was a real tear-jerker for me...sigh...)

I have closely followed Diana Krall since she first came on the music scene many years ago. This was the fifth time I had seen her in concert. The first three times, her live performances were excellent – she was very engaged with the audience, both her piano playing and singing were fantastic, and the members of her band were outstanding. The fourth time I saw her in concert (last year), her engaging stage persona was greatly diminished, and she seemed exhausted. It was as if she was coming back from a major health issue. In this concert, she did not engage with the audience at all, her energy level was near zero, and she acted as if she did not want to be there. For some reason, it seemed that the sound system was turned down way too low for the venue (capacity of 2750). I was sitting in the fifth row, and it was hard to hear them even that close. Her piano playing was very mechanical and uninspired, and her singing was even worse. She kept the microphone at least two feet away and rushed through the lyrics, many times forgetting the words. The one time she tried to engage with the audience, she briefly mentioned Tony Bennett’s recent passing, but then slurred a few more words that were incomprehensible. On virtually every song, she would check out and rely solely on her band to carry the song through extended soloing. While not altogether bad (I’ve always enjoyed Anthony Wilson’s inspired guitar playing), the extended solos didn’t serve the songs so much as they gave Diana a break. Tickets to a Diana Krall concert tend to be priced toward the higher end, making a performance like this even more disappointing. For years, Diana Krall has been one of the jazz world’s best interpreters of the American Songbook – both through her albums as well as her live stage performances - but she is a shadow of her former self. I have no idea what is going on with her, but I honestly hope she is okay. It’s sad to see.

Sad that I saved up to buy my dad decent seats only to be completely disappointed!!! She was slurring her words maybe sang 30 words during her performance! It was soo bad we left half way through!!! Thanks for letting my money go To waste and a disappointing birthday present for my father!

We saw her 27 years ago with Tony Benett It was a fantastic show, they both displayed what seemed to be an excitement for what they were doing. This time with her alone, not so much. She came out and sat at the Piano and never got up. No excitement in her voice. If the performer thinks a venue is below them they shouldn’t take it out on the people who bought the tickets.

The evening weather was perfect, not too hot or cold. The songs she played really set the mood! If you weren't there with someone you cared about, you missed out.

Diana seemed pretty out of it. Slurring her speech, making comments that were incoherent. Some of the songs she sang well, others were almost embarrassingly bad. The other musicians were excellent, but the fact remains we paid to see the headliner. Very disappointing to fans that have supported her, paid for her music over the years and bought tickets to see her live. The Orpheum theater in Madison, Wi has seen better days. The sound wasn't great, an air conditioning unit above us had a very pronounced rattle that was very distracting.

First off let me say that I love Dianna Krall which makes it difficult for me to give her a bad review but there's no way around it. The concert was a flop. She wasn't able to hit the high notes and her playing seemed off wandering. A common complaint that I read in other reviews was that she let the band play more and she sang less which was true at this concert as well. I checked out her schedule and it looks like after August she has a 2 month break which is perhaps exactly what she needs to rest and get back to the former Dianna that we all know and love and we are legion!!

I'm not much of a concert goer but I promised myself if I ever had the chance to see Diana Krall I would go no matter the cost. Well she came the perfect venue-Hoyt Sherman Place! (Never been there either) She was fantastic and lived up to my expectations. After reading some other negative reviews I was afraid that I would be disappointed. Not so! On key, hit every note and looked like she was having fun with her trio and the audience! She is a world class talent and we felt lucky to have seen her. She played a 4 song encode, tremendous!! If you are a fan of Ms Krall and have a chance to see her, go!!

I must say that I was a bit underwhelmed. I have been looking forward to this for ages. The musicians were amazing. Diana was difficult to hear. The concert was not even 90 minutes long. I wanted a bit more……

Was very disappointed in the seating!! We had very good seats in the 7th row main floor. But were crammed in like sardines!!! NO PLACE TO PUT YOUR ARMS!!! NO ARM RESTS, JUST CHAIRS! For $200 per ticket, I expected more. For this reason I would never come back to this theater again! This was the most uncomfortable event I've ever attended. You need to treat your customers better than this. It was pitiful!!!!

A lot of money was spent to see one of my favorite musicians and I feel like I was cheated. The concert while good was not the best I’ve seen/heard Diana Krall play and sing. The concert itself was barely 1.5 hours and that was with the encore.

I expected more than 1 hour and 20 minutes for my money. What they played was great. Only a 1 song encore. I was expecting 2 hours or more.

Came to hear DK play and sing. Unfortunately, more of the focus was on the rest of the band. She played for one hour and only one song for an encore. Combine all that with some incoherent rambling (I don’t think DK knew what city she was on at the moment), and we were left very unsatisfied.

Jazz Club standards ; Virtuoso performances; Totally lifeless and unengaging. "Just going through the motions...???"

Good show. I would see her again if the opportunity presents itself.

Apparently no one vetted this or it would not have been booked. Diana has a drug problem and it showed. The piano playing was mediocre, and if it was not for the rest of the band being crisp and on point I would be asking for a refund.

The instrumental musicianship was excellent. The vocals however, were a bit lower in volume than the rest of the instruments. At times I also couldn't understand what Diana was saying between songs. She seemed to trail off a bit when speaking, but the mic should have been louder. Vocally, I like her tone, but I've always wished that Ms. Krall would sustain her notes and phrasing longer. She can get choppy-sounding vocally. Her piano playing is beautiful and tasteful. The band was top notch: tight and gorgeous solos. The concert was a bit short for me. About an hour and 20; plus an lovely encore of "The Way You Wear Your Hat"as a tribute to Tony Bennett. For the price, it should have been at least 1:45, IMHO. Venue-wise, it's a fun place to see a concert. I do wish that there were some ways to purchase tickets with less fees. From the balcony, the big bunch of hanging speakers can eclipse your view a bit, if your seats are too far to the right or left. Shoot for seats near the middle and you can't go wrong.
