Il Divo sang beautifully!
by Lokato on 11/12/13Marquis Theatre - New YorkI was actually disappointed in this performance of Il Divo. I thought it was very flat. The staging in my opinion was not good. The group spent most of their time singing in fog!! While the harmonies are always beautiful and the song choices were good, the group seemed distant and just going through the motions. I have been to a few of their performances and at each one the 4 members of Il Divo were more engaging and involved with the audience. There was much more interaction with the audience. They brought you into the music and they actually performed. They didn't just stand there and sing. This time there just stood there and sang. There was no encore either. The Playbill said last song to be My Way and then encore. Instead they sang My Way as the encore. In additon, there were problems with the curtain calls. They left Heather Headley standing there behind a closed curtain and finally lifted it as most of the audience was leaving. It seemed as though at that time the music cues were wrong or non-existent also. Overall, at $252/seat, it was VERY disappointing. Sorry
