Flashdance Tickets

This production left much to be desired. Poor choreography, sound issues and while good effort felt I was watching a good high school or college performance. Have seen shows in Des Moines, Chicago and NY. Must be spoiled by what I have experienced in the past. We left at intermission!

It was so-so. Kinda flat. I would have left at intermission except I wanted to see the final scene. I don't think it was so much the fault of the actors, but just a so-so show overall. Songs were not memorable except "What a Feeling".

The show was really great. But parking at Chrysler Hall leaves a lot to be desired.

Like many others, we went to the play because we enjoyed the music from the movie version of Flashdance. Julia Macchio did a pretty good job with the lead role; however, we were disappointed with most of the other singers and thought performances to be just average. Given the narrow plot, this play was unusually long and the additional songs, while pleasant to listen to, did not really add to the story line. Some of the singers did not enunciate well and it was difficult to understand the words. The background ballet scenes were not well choreographed. There were some good points to the show. I enjoyed the shadowing of the dancers at Harry's and the scene where the water bucket spilled on the dancer. Julia did a great job with the dance to "What a Feeling" in the final scene. If you're a Flashdance fan, my recommendation would be save the money and just go watch the movie again.

The play kept you interested. I loved the humor that was added. There were amazing talented singer/actors. My teenagers enjoyed this show a lot even though they didn't like the movie. It was well written and executed.

Was a bit confused by the production. Found it to be campy and not well done. Would it have cost anything to cut the neck of Alex's sweatshirt to at least try to capture the iconic off-shoulder style established by the movie? Was disappointed that very few of the songs from the movie's soundtrack were used. Acting and dancing was fair.

Poor sound, seemed like I was at a high school drama event

Flashdance at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, VA, was a good production but Alex's male lead was a bit weak with the vocals at times. It could have been the mix on his microphone at certain points that distracted from his performance. All-in-all it was a lot of energy and worth going to see.

I was disappointed and was expecting a stellar performance especially since Chrysler Hall has a reputation of having great shows and concerts. I didn't think I would ever regret spending what I did and bringing another couple as well, spending the money to stomach through that! It'll have to be something fantastic for me to return to another broadway show here locally...

I was entertained as long as the characters were dancing (and in my opinion that was not enough!). Too many silly sub plots. Cast was very attractive and did a good job with what they had to work with. Lead female was very cute, great singing and dancing but her shrill nasally voice was a real turn off! This show has never played on Broadway and after seeing it I understand why.

I was so disappointed with this production. It deviated too far from the original story line for my taste. They only included a couple of the original soundtrack songs too. I never met a musical I didn't like - until now.

We were unimpressed with the acting and singing in the first half of the performance. Kiki was head and shoulders above the others. After intermission the cast overall improved. The highlight being the iconic audition dance.

I was disappointed in the presentation of such a great movie. The actors all seemed to be singing off key. I was sitting in the Orchestra on the Floor, so there was no mistaking what I was hearing. Instead of Song, I was hearing the loud voices, and music in the background, hence; it wasn't really being sung. The lead actors presented their interpretations very well. At times, this show presented itself as if it was restrained by budgetary concerns.

This show was really just awful. If I could have gotten my money back, I would have. My husband and I both love the movie, but the performances in this play were the worst I've seen and we are avid theater goers. I'm not sure if it was a problem with the mics or the actors' voices, but above a certain pitch everyone sounded like chipmunks. The movements of the actress playing Alex were either stiff or violently jerky; she either looked awkward and still or like she was having a seizure. The set design and costumes were pretty minimal. Ladies, if you want your husbands to attend, make sure you sit in the first few rows for the scenes in the clubs; lots of bare bottoms and groping ;) There were so many parts that were so bad, like the Joan Jett cover, that we were laughing out loud at how horrible they were. Have you ever gone out in public and saw something that you found embarrassing and thought, "Who let you leave the house like that?" or turned to your spouse and said, "If I ever try to do/look/whatever that way, shoot me!" Well, that's what this entire show was basically made up of...

Great singing and dancing my daughter and I really enjoyed it.

I have been to numerous plays, many of which were musicals. This is the first time that I left at intermission. The acting, singing and dancing would have been better performed by a kindergarten class.

Slow story, singing was just Ok by the females. Disappointment with the lack of dancing. Very unforgettable musical. Feel as though I wasted my money. I've seen better high school musicals in Virginia Beach. Would not recommend seeing this to anyone.

Wish I had seen the reviews prior to buying my tickets. Poor show for such a nice venue. Left at intermission

Great music and dancing. If you enjoyed the movie you will not be disapointed.

Julia Macchio was dynamite as Alex Owens. The whole cast was very good. A very enjoyable evening.
