What a beautiful blend of music, voices and bells to bring you into the Christmas spirit. The Cantata was a true spiritual feast! Bravo PMO!!!
The story they came up with this year was creepy and lackluster. The set popped out on the front part of the stage and so it put the actors too close to the audience. For those sitting up front, but on the sides rows it was really uncomfortable to watch when they were performing. However when the set went back into the floor it got better. The curtain would open and the choral performances would begin. My only complaint is that some of the soloists did not stand close enough to the microphone to be clearly heard. I will go again, but will pick a better seat just in case they try this way again.
Excellent show from beginning to end. Keep entertaining us
I was completely overwhelmed by the spectacular Purdue Christmas Extravaganza. The best just keeps getting better and better. All the groups gave phenomenal performances, and the arrangements were fresh and exciting. The soloists were all magnificent. The powerful music of the cantata was dramatic and breathtaking. The elaborate sets, impressive staging, and fantastic lighting added to the magic of the extravaganza. The choreography was impeccable and added to the excitement. I especially enjoyed the tap-dancing reindeer. The costumes, especially those of the reindeer and soldiers, were lavish. The use of Rudolph as the theme from the early internet announcement of the Christmas Show and for transitions from one group to another was brilliant. This is a MUST SEE event. It is everything Christmas in one show.
First time I have been to the Christmas show and it was awesome. Can't wait to go next year!
This event is a tradition for our family. Its wonderful to go see such talented individuals with class and experience a wonderful Christmas tradition. Its nice to see that politics are not involved and CHRISTmas is still a word that's used.
I've been to 3 Purdue Christmas Shows and each one has completely blown me away! I love to attend shows during the Christmas season---it helps me to find my Christmas spirit. And they all lift me up in different ways and for different reasons. The incredible talent and unbelievable production value of this show is unmatched. Since Purdue does not have a music major one might assume this show might be less than expected. Oh, contraire. Because these joyful students are doing this purely out of the love of music and performing is possibly one of the reasons why it is so spectacular. They are well-trained and professional. I also attend shows at schools with music performance majors and I prefer Purdue’s. There’s a nice mix of secular and non-secular music and themes, to meet everyone’s expectations. I plan to go every year from now on.
Delightful variety of Christmas music quite professionally performed. A wonderful Christmas experience for people of all ages.
The show changes each year- this year's was a light-hearted story about Rudolph. This Purdue show is high quality for being a college production, you really a experience a top level production. Probably can chalk it up to the new directors and their vision.
I went for the first time for Purdue Christmas show with my boyfriend. We both enjoyed it a lot. The music, drama, laughter and synchronization was just beyond expectations. I have never seen such a vast use of stage, levels to create all the effects needed. My most favorite part was bells music piece.
Wonderful performance. Well worth the price of admission. We will return next year.
The Rudolph show was well sung and well choreographed. After the intermission the combined choirs sang traditional Christmas songs. They were done very well and the soloists were exceptional.
This was the most amazing concert I have ever attended. It really inspired me to do everything possible to have a wonderful Christmas holiday with my family and friends.
The show was wonderful, the costumes, the interpretation, the visual effects, all was as expected.
Very talented people. Fantastic show. Favorite part was the bells performance, superb.
best Christmas concert I've been too. the students were very talented and put on a great show. this from a university without a music department. WOW
The show exceeded my expectations, it was fun and lively but highlighted the true meaning of Christmas.
The show was just such a holiday treat. The cantata was beautiful music and visual effects.
Top to bottom, side to side, the Purdue Christmas Show was terrific! Kudos to the students for volunteering to be part of Purdue Music Organization and taking on such an ambitious schedule the week before finals.
In my opinion this is just the best Christmas show around. It was especially good this year since it went back to the history of it. It has made my holidays better. Please don't ever drop the Christian end to the show. It completes it.
