She started her show -HOT- with down to the minute jokes of currents events. i.e. the State-of -the Union speech done that night. You can see the flow she did going from one character to another. And made me understand why she has made a mark in the entertainment industry. Lily Tomlin YOU are simply wonderful.
I am a huge fan of Lily Tomlin. However, I would have enjoyed her performance more had she used some props, costumes, effects, etc. She is an amazing impromptu performer, I just wasn't wow'd.
It was great fun to see Lily at the Balboa Theater. She was GREAT as expected. I was in loge seating row E and I wish there would of been side screens displaying her so I could of scene her facial expressions up close. I really couldn't make out her face from those seats . When I go to the theater again I will bring binoculars. Lily performed most of her popular characters and it was a real treat to see them all again. It was great to see how she brought them forward with modern issues. I consider Lily one of the classic entertainers, her shows are funny and clean. Other performers should take note that you can be hysterically funny and not have a potty mouth. I would see Lily again if lucky enough to get the chance.
Amazing to see the energy displayed by Lilly. A wonderful medley of skits past.
I truly enjoyed the evening. She is as funny as ever.
Lily did not seem to be at her best for this show. She came out dressed in sweats, sweatshirt. Her hair was a mess and just did not seem to be into it. If you are a big Lily fan, then this was probably alright with you. I was expecting a little more and maybe even some costume changes and several skits, which never happened. Not sure if I would recommend this to someone else. I certainly would not see the show again, especially with the high price of the tickets.
Lily presents herself on stage in such a normal fashion only to do the extraordinary. I was thoroughly entertained with her candid observations of every day life with a twist of her persona attached. Lily is truly original in every aspect of her performance. At the end, her Q & A was just as much fun and equally telling of who she is and her roots. Loved her!!
I did not enjoy this at all, found that Ms. Tomlin played mainly her old characters in a overly-rehearsed fashion, and never really spoke to her audience. I was prepared to laugh, wanted to laugh, and have loved her for years. Instead, it was stiff, not fresh, and clumsy. I still love Ms. Tomlin to pieces, but may enjoy her in the future on video.
Her opening film clip was a great review of her resume. She was great. Here opening monolog about San Diego was execellant.
She said it herself last night (mockingly, of course): "I know what you thinking: 'She's still very attractive. She's so celebrated. Her life is so much more interesting than ours.'" It's incredible how she can take a simple stage, no costumes, no makeup, and breathe life into so many wonderful characters we've enjoyed seeing her play for decades. What a talent.
Lots of energy but a little self-centred - some of the 'conversation' material not to my personal preferences.
No one like her --ever, never. Her rambles are riotous. She trotted out our old favorites and infused them with hilarious new stuff -- and some of the golden oldies just for fun. A night with Lily is always worthwhile, belly laughs, chuckles, giggles and remembered smiles. What a time we had.
Wonderful show! Lily was just as funny as she was in Laugh In! And as energetic as a five year old -- Edith Ann must help keep her jumping !! She is pretty, tiny, fit, and adorable! Thank you to "her people" & Lakeland Center's "people" for being SO VERY cordial and accommodating with the special Birthday wishes & backstage meeting & pictures for a huge fan !! Lily, what IS your secret to looking so YOUNG ?! Is it laughter?!?!?!? Thanks a million !
the show was great--took a friend for her bday--lily was energetic and made sure she covered all the famous characters we grew to love still looks great! we had front row center!
I woulk have liked to have seen more of Edith Ann and Earnestine. I was a fan from 'Laugh In" and was not familiar with the Bag Lady and other characters she portrayed.
This was my first time seeing Lily Tomlin and all I can say is WOW! Her show was both funny and thought provoking. What a wonderful experience.
She was great. Brought back lots of memories!! We had a great time and great seats
The Lily Tomlin performance was amazing. Her intimate, personable style made a performance to a full house feel like an evening with close friends. She skillfully turned a problem microphone into its own comedy routine. It felt like an intimate evening with friends rather than a performance to a full house.
Lily brought some of our favorite old friends to this concert. I especially liked the transition of Ernestine to a Health Insurance Claims customer support. Some of the old one line jokes are a little thin for the wear. The newer ones are not as sharp as they probably need to be for the current environment. We are used to meaner and tougher comedy and Lily is gentle. She did insert some peaks behind the sexual-orientation curtain and, some of the audience members gasped, probably since they wanted to operate under don't ask-don't tell policy. It has occurred to me though that Lily has an opportunity to show that early recognition that she was gay and, thereby, debunk the thinking that people select their sexuality. Overall a gentle, enjoyable, thoughtful performance that assumes that anyone who came to see her was reuniting with an old friend(s).
Growing up with Laugh-in...it was a delight to reconnect with all those characters and more that Lily did. She is amazing. It was a 2 hour monologue. Highly entertaining
