  • AWESOME! Will definitely go again!

    by Bob F on 2/10/25Rialto Square Theatre - JolietRating: 5 out of 5

    What a great performance! Almost 2 1/2 hours of non-stop music. The band was exceptional, especially the drummer. Vocals were great, and the audience was singing along with every song and many were literally dancing in the aisles. Ticket prices were VERY reasonable for 10th row seats. We saw the original Face to Face with Billy Joel and Elton John about 25 years ago...this was a REAL good quality repeat performance.

  • Great Music!

  • Great Tribute Show

    by Annie on 2/10/25Rialto Square Theatre - JolietRating: 5 out of 5

    The Face-to-face Elton John/Billy Joel concert was great. The music was very close to the real thing and the price was much less than the real thing! The Rialto theater is beautiful and small enough that even the cheap seats are good. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Sound quality was great, not too loud! The ticket prices were reasonable. We enjoy tribute bands and will definitely be back to the Rialto.

    My wife and I have been to several Elton John and Billy Joel concerts including their "Face to Face"concert at Wrigley. Neither of us have ever been to a tribute band concert. So did not know what to expect. Well they knocked it out of the park!! We were both very impressed with the show and how great they were. We would definitely watch them again!!

    Apologies, the original Face 2 Face featuring Mike Santoro and Ronnie Smith at Casino Ballroom in Hampton Beach was an amazing show! I actually saw a cheap knock-off using their name at another venue. I'm a new fan, please come back to Hampton Beach again soon!

    My daughter and I did not know what to expect; we actually said if we didn’t like the show we would leave at intermission. We could NOT leave! The talent on stage is phenomenal, and kept everyone singing and dancing the entire time they were on! We highly recommend this show!
