short and sweet
by Donzo on 11/24/09Van Andel Arena - Grand RapidsRating: 4 out of 5The Rockettes are amazing!! Their precision is awe inspiring and the choreography creative and exceptional! However, it seems that, for the same cost, we saw an abbreviated show. Several scenes from last year were left out and when they began the curtain call the feeling was "that's it?" (I actually heard that comment from several people around me.) Almost every scene was changed, to shorten it. Overall, it was a disappointment. No skating, no animals, no flying, no runway, etc. What was there was excellent, but there was not enough to justify the expense of the tickets. The introduction led us to expect an even better show than last year. That did not happen. I do not plan to attend next year, should the show return to Grand Rapids.
