Either the sound mix was terrible or Martha and her sisters are. Their entire set was off key and screechy. Mary’s was a little better but again sound mix was generally poor.
These !adies were AWEOME! We will go back to see them again if they return. I think they found the Fountain of youth still have strong beautiful voices God Bless them!
Mary Wilson was fantastic! She looked gorgeous and she was in great voice. My only concern is that I payed extra for a post meet and greet with Mary, but the post m/g involved everyone regardless of the ticket cost. That was very deceiving. I know that was not her fault, but disorganization of The Ritz Theater. However, Mary was very nice and engaging during and after the concert. She is a world class lady!
MARY WILSON GETS BETER AND BETTER. GREAT SHOW. CAN NOT WAITE TO SEE HER AGAIN
Mary Wilson and the audience were on fire as she ran through her hits with The Supremes and other classic songs as well as her solo hit "Walk the Line." A great evening and a chance to forget these troubling times. Miss Wilson stayed after the show for an hour and a half signing autographs and taking pics with fans. A more gracious star would be hard to find.
Great show. Mary was terrific. Audience was really into it
Wow, After being a fan of the Supremes for over 40 years it was a thrill to finally see Mary live. I've seen enough clips on Youtube to know what to expect and Mary did not disappoint. There's a quote I've read that was written when Flo left, "why would a group break up. Well when there are two lead singers and only one featured..." Well there were three lead singers in the original lineup. Mary's voice is bluesy, and soulful. It's great to hear her sing the Supremes songs, but she shines on songs like " I am Changing" from Dreamgirls, Dedicating it to Flo.
Mary Wilson and her band were sensational performers. Mary and her backup singers still have excellent vocals.
This is a very good show to go and see. I especially enjoyed Freda Payne, because everything she sang was awesome and came alive in the way she expressed the feeling of the music and the wonderful notes she hit with that amazing voice .Freda sang the songs like the song writer intended it to be sung, but with her own unique voice. She is truly and enjoyable and exceptional performer, and should not be missed. Mary Wilson was ok, but lacked the vocal range, and the vocal quality of Freda. I would go see Freda Payne if she sang with the Chipmunks.
Last Sunday afternoon my daughter and I made our way back to the Winstar Casino showroom for another one of their Sunday afternoon concerts. This time it was Mary Wilson of the Supremes opening for Paul Revere and the Raiders. I love old Motown music, and have seen Dianna Ross a couple of times so this was a nice chance to see another member of that trio. It’s also an opportunity to take my daughter to an early concert that is an ok show for kids to see. Mary Wilson opening the gig and at almost 70 still has a very strong voice. She was the reason we went. She ran through 10-12 of the Supremes hits but sadly only played about 30 minutes. She had 2 backup singers that had good voices but her back up band was the Raiders, and while they knew the tunes you could tell they were very basic arrangements. I wish she could have been the headliner and player 45-60 minutes because she had the better voice and much better material. Some of the hits she played: Baby Love, Back in my arms again, Stop in the name of love, Come see about me, Reflections, Can’t hurry Love, Someday well’s be together, I hear a symphony, Where did out love go. I know very little of Paul Revere and the Raiders. I know a couple of songs and that they do a lot of comedy. While I give the lead guy credit for being 76 and still playing gigs, this just wasn’t my thing. A couple of the songs were fine, but of their 45 minute set 20-25 minutes was talking. Silly comedy, jokes they seem to have telling for years. Kicks and Stepping Stone were a couple of songs I knew. Many of the guys had been in the bad since the 70’s and 80’s. The lead singer did a pretty good Tom Jones impression and that was the best part of the gig. Jokes about trying to play CDs on record players and such were funny to some I guess. For some reason he blew a whistle during the songs, and when he told a bad joke he would point a gun at the audience and say “sit down”. It was probably funny in the 60’s or to people in their 60’s. Both acts seem to be right where they belong, and that’s fine. Low coast casino gigs, they had just finished playing some “oldies” cruise, and honestly both should play Branson for a while. It a great show room that seats 4000, but only a few hundred were there. We moved into the VIP $30 seats. We really enjoyed Mary Wilson. For the 15 bucks a ticket we paid, I would enjoy seeing her again.
With the bad weather, the show was perfect. I'm glad that we went to it.
We were knocked out by the energy and the quality of the show. They brought back the musical excitement and the energy of our high school days. The best part was Mary’s voice and her energy. She had me feeling like it was the sixties again. She is just full of class. First class!!
I have already recommended attending Mary Wilson's Holiday Spectacular to many....the Four Tops were good and entertaining but it was the talented, beautiful, sincere Mary Wilson who carried the show. Her strength and charisma were felt accross the rows of people attending. The Chgoland weather was terrible but forgotten for the 2 hours of stepping back to the era of great songs/music and Supremes.....my 22 year old enjoyed the show and joins me in pleading.....Please Mary do not stop entertaining us, we love you!! Thank you for all the wonderful music:-)
Beautiful, fantastic, wonderful voices. Mary Wilson was beautiful and graceful. At 69-1/2 her voice was as clear or better than it was when she was 20. The show had "class", exceptional singing talent and professionalism. They started on time, no intermissions, sang straight through, added some Christmas songs with a jazzy choir and orchestra and we got two remarkable hours of amazing entertainment. AND the Four Tops were also exceptional. The lead singer who replaced Levi Stubbs was the closest thing the Four Tops could have found to Levi. The young man was very talented and gave a performance that was a fitting tribute to Levi's memory. It was great to see many, many baby-boomers in the audience like myself, and as an African American, it was equally refreshing to know that the many, many Caucasian baby boomers in the audience were obviously listening to the wonderful sounds of Motown back in the day the same as me. We learn something new every day (smile). Congratulations, Mary Wilson for your grace, professionalism and talent and Congratulations, Four Tops. Special thanks to Duke, the only original member of the Four Tops for helping to continue the professional and talented legacy of Levi Stubbs and the Four Tops. Gloria E. Swanson
Great show! Mary still has an amazing voice and the Four Tops sang so many hits.
The show had some entertaining moments too it but overall the stars are showing their age.
This show was so much fun! My husband and I thought the new lead singer for the 4 Tops was just fantastic. He had a strong and wonderful voice. We would definitely recommend this show to our friends.
My mom and I had a wonderful time , the show was great.
MARY WAS SUPERB AS ALWAYS. SHE KEEPS THE SUPREMES LEGACY ALIVE. SHE SANG ALL THE SUPREMES BIGGEST HITS AND THEN SOME OF HER OWN SONGS AS WELL. SHE EVEN SANG HER NEW SONG WHICH I LOVE, CALLED LIFES BEEN GOOD TO ME. I BELIEVE ITS GONNA BE A HIT WITH THE PROPER PROMOTION. ANOTHER FANTASTIS SHOW. I EVEN GOT TP TAKE PICS OF MARY AND SPEAK TO HER AFTER THE SHOW. I CAME ALL THE WAY FROM CHICAGO,ILLINOIS TO SEE HER. IT WAS WLL WORTHT TO. GO MARY GO. LOVE YA. GUS FROM CHICAGO
Its been quite some time since home town Lady supreme Mary Wilson graced us with a performance here in the motor city. She did not disappoint!! Draped in a black sequined gown with a blinding green wrap,She opened the show with, "Here's To Life", a fitting tune to let us all know this lady can "sang"!! Next were the Supremes biggest hits....love Child, Baby love , You Keep me hanging On, Stop In The name of Love. The energy level was very high tonight. Mary mixed song after song with interaction from the audience...She mentioned her days at Motown, The Brewster projects, old friends, it was obvious to all she was having a great time on stage, and we were enjoying every moment of it! Spotted in the audience were the children of Florence Ballard, Divas Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and Detroit's reigning Blues Sista, Thornetta Davis. Someone said they spotted Mayor Bing in the audience. One of the many high points from the show was Mary's rendition of "Both Sides Now." You could hear a pin drop as Ms Wilson sauntered on the stage in what was really a dramatic reading. Another highlight was a tribute to Florence Ballard, "I Am Changing". Mary received a well deserved standing ovation for this fitting tribute. A tribute to another Diva closed the show, Donna Summer's "Last Dance"! Mary's voice was very strong for this performance tonight. All said and done we were very proud of our hometown girl!! A performance well done!
