Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. Tickets

It is nice to attend a show where the act doesn't need special effects and gimmicks to have a nice evening. Marilyn and Billy's show was successful because of their great voices, and great performance skills. Not to mention that they have one of the best catalogs in modern music. From the timeless songs of their days with the Fifth Dimension up through their own solo successes, the show was a nice representation of their careers.

Both Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. are still in exceptional form, so don't let that stop you from attending one of their shows. As mentioned above, the show is structured like a revue you might see in Vegas or Branson, the show starting with video highlights from the duo's long career. The first half is essentially the two of them going through their history, with a lot of banter and medleys (one critique of the show is that they seemed to give some of their bigger hits short shrift by only doing snippets of them). After a fifteen minute intermission (which caused a bit of confusion since they waited a couple of minutes before announcing it after the first half, making people wonder if the show was over) the second half of the show has them doing familiar hits as well as some nice covers and, again, medleys (the Beatles one was very nice). They were backed by a very capable band and three backup singers billed as "The Next Dimension", who were also quite good. I'm not sure if it was the venue or the show itself, but I wish there were better production values than a small screen and an office-grade projector for the visuals. Another thing that struck me was the somewhat strange montage during the finale of "The Way We Were". Showing pictures of them with Nixon, Bush Sr. and Pope John Paul II (all separately, not together), gave things a weird political/religious tone that was a little uncomfortable.

This wonderful couple were older, but like wine, even better than ever. They did their old songs and than added a Beatle section of tunes and many other old favorites. My wife and I have gone to 100 different shows of stars over the years and I can say this is in the top 3. An absolutely beautiful show.

I wasn't sure what to expect as I had not seen Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr in a long time. My expectation was that in their 70's they probably lost a little something in their singing but that I would still enjoy the show and it would be good to see them again. What I did see and hear blew me away. They sounded great. Their voices have lost nothing. They were as strong as they ever were. I don't even understand how that is possible. The show was tight. The musicians were excellent. The song selection was full of their hits as well as other popular songs that they did a wonderful job on.

The show was amazing. They can still sing. I couldn't believe they played for so long. They did a great job with the Beatles tribute as well. Really resonated with the audience. They didn't need to recant the Martin Luther King, Jr and John F. Kennedy days. I get they (and most of us in the audience) lived through those times, but while I just turned 60 I would hope everyone is past the segregation times. Too bad the Wilbur Theater is so uncomfortable. It really takes away from some of the shows

Seeing Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. live has me smiling like a school boy all evening. Not only did they sing their timeless hits, but delved a bit into songs i never expected to hear live, like "The Declaration". My friend and I giggled with glee and sang along to the "Solid Gold " theme, and shed some tears to amazing renditions of "Macarthur Park" and "Hey Jude". The vocals were AMAZING. Marilyn was showing us her octave range, and Billy Davis Jr. took us to church. The crowd was singing and clapping and thoroughly enjoying themselves. If you hear that these two are in town, don't hesitate to get a ticket.

My wife and I thought their performance was great. I saw them when they were with the 5th Dimension in the early 70s and we were able to see Marilyn as an opener (we thought she should have been the headliner) in Lake Tahoe. It was great to see how well they performed after all these years. We thought Billy Davis has actually improved with age. They had a great blend of old and new arrangements. The music they were able to provide with two guitars, a drummer, and keyboard was surprising. Their interaction with the audience was great and it was enjoyable for them to have shared some of the moments that were special to them throughout their career. Marilyn still has a great stage presence and can really sing which is unlike some other performers who didn''t know when it was time to quit. I don't think the notice of them coming to town was that widely spread. I only heard about it two days before the performance and was surprised to see I could get seats. I felt badly for Marilyn and Billy that there was not a greater turn out for such outstanding performers. It may have been a lack of notice to the public.

I was so impressed with their graciousness. They are consumate entertainers and I would recommend their show to anyone. I was so sad that the how wasn't sold out. They were definitely worth seeing.

What an amazing show! Their voices are as good as ever.....maybe better. Marilyn was beautiful in her gorgeous gowns and outfits. They spoke to the audience and shared information about their lives and songwriters, etc. They have been married for 45 years and their love still glows for each other. They made you feel as if they were talking and singing to you personally. We could barely sit still listening the great music and memorable songs. At the end we were dancing in the aisles! Run....do not walk to their next performance!

Both Marilyn and Billy are ageless! There voices were pure and strong. They can still strut their stuff. Very professional and started right on time.

It was a great show in a great venue. The show was a little scripted and not very spontaneous. Not much audience interaction. Marilyn and Billy sounded great and they still have it! It was nice to see a married couple in entertainment that have been together so long.

The best show I have seen this year! Unbelievable! Do not miss these fine performers if they come near you. The theater was about half sold. What? This should have been at an arena completely sold out. Go Billy and Marilyn!!!
