Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Tickets

The music was beautiful. The lighting and visual effects were stunning! This show was first class all the way!!

It was fantastic. They are so talented. We enjoyed it very much.

The show was high energy, entertaining and well done. Loved that it was “snowing” when we left the theater! Unique for AZ!

This is our second Manheim Steamroller concert. Changed up from the first and every bit as good. So much energy and sound coming from so few musicians. We enjoyed every minute.

We took our 13 year old grandson and it was his first concert ever. He plays trumpet at school. We wanted to show him future possibilities with musical education. It hit home for sure! He loved it. He may have preferred to have gone to a rock concert with friends. However, the smile he radiated was real when we talked about the performance. Thank you MANHEIMM STEAMROLLER EXPRESS.

What a Great Show. This was one of the BEST shows I have seen. Now if we can get Trans Siberian Orchestra here, that would be awesome.

The venue needs some help, they have not upgraded the sound system or the seats ever, Centennial Hall is showing its age. It badly in need of an upgrade and has for many years. That is why we stopped buying season tickets to Broadway in Tucson. You would think they could put a little of the money back in to the Hall.

Great show!! Only thing that I will complain about is the parking!! 40.00 is a little outrageous

I had seen them twice before and I do enjoy them, my friend had never seen them, he really enjoyed them, and the both of us say amazing show.

Some of the music was loud and exuberant and joyful. Some of it was calm and serene. All of it was wonderful. The musicians are amazingly talented and obviously love what they’re doing. The lighting and the scenes on the background screen added depth to the experience.

they sound and play great. enjoyed the evening with them so very much

Mannheim were their usual excellence. The venue was not the best place for such an awesome orchestra. Not only would the accusedics not good acoustics not good, but the visual all around was extremely poor. It's a sports center and not worthy of Mannheim steamroller!!

Acoustics were exceptional for an arena. No seat was a bad seat. Staff was pleasant and helpful

I was skeptic because it was help on a Sunday night. Their audience are people a retired and don't drive at night. It was reflected in the poor attendance. The acoustics were awful and the video was laughable.

The music and presentation were very good. It was interesting to see how a group (13) of musicians could sound so much larger than they were. The only thing that took away from the show was the seating in the arena, it was worse than seating in economy class on an airplane

We look forward to seeing this show every year and have attended almost every year in the past 20 years! They put on a great show! The music is amazing! As we get older, I just wish they would consider doing a matinee show because driving in the dark is getting challenging. We travel anywhere from 45 to 90 miles to see this show!

I saw Chip Davis back in late 90s, then last year the group in St Augustine and this time in Gainesville. I miss Chip but he has done an outstanding job of insuring the quality remains amazing and he has absolutely earned the right not to tour anymore! I love the Christmas tour but really wish they would do a "Fresh Aire"tour!! Even if they only did 1 show in VEGAS, LA, or New York I would absolutely travel for it! Please?? Also, back in the 90s the floor seats were actually tables and wine and cheese was served. THAT really made for a stellar date night surprise for the wife! Can we bring that back next year??

The music was exactly what I expected. That’s a lot of music coming out of 15 people! Some of the background video was an odd choice. The Cosmo Chelsea venue was a disappointment. This theater does not have a tiered seating arrangement rather a flat floor. So the chairs they set out leave you looking at the heads of the people in front of you, no one on the stage and only the top third of the background video screen. It may have helped to scissor the seats so you could see more than one orchestra member at a time. I never saw most of the group without craning my head so I felt sorry for the people behind me. The music did not disappoint at all. This was just not the venue for the total visual of the orchestra, their background screen and their lighting show.. The lighting show for us was only visible on the ceiling. The preferred seats would have been the surrounding box seats on the side of the theater or at the very back of the theater.

Overall good experience, the visuals could use an update. Mostly looked like old VHS copies from performances in the 1970s & 80s. I understand that's where the music came from, but an updated overhaul in the same spirit could be good.

Loved the music. The only Christmas album I have ever owned was theirs. Love the synthesized music. The percussionist was so much fun to watch. I'm sure she must lose weight with every performance. She is so energetic and obviously loving what she does. Other members of the orchestra were also energetic and love their jobs, But she was just fun to watch.. next time though I'll make sure I get a balcony seat instead of a floor seat.
