An enchanting, fun, game musical event
by Cassie on 10/7/25New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkRating: 5 out of 5The show was perfection! I would absolutely attend a concert like this again. The arrangements of the music were wonderful, and the scenes on the screen from gameplay, and original art were a wonder to behold, and added that perfect element to the show.
NJPAC though, needs a lot of work. Each event I've attended recently, the merchandise line is snaking through the whole lobby. I just don't understand why there aren't more tables with one certain kind of good or more tables with everything, there just has to be a better way. I myself, don't care about merchandise, but people were showing up late to the concert from being in the merchandise line, which caused a lot of disruption to the show, because basically until about 10 minutes before the intermission, people were still coming to their seats, and so everyone has to stand up, blocking the view and taking everyone out of the moment over and over again so these people can get to their seats. A lot of people were also using their phones during the show, speaking loudly, it just seems as though theatre etiquette is not enforced and nonexistent. Maybe merchandise should be closed once the shows start, and only reopen again during intermission, and after the show. It might be worth looking into closing the doors to the theatre 10 minutes or so into show time and not opening them again until intermission. Please think more of the people who are really these to see, enjoy, and get lost in the magic show without constant interruption.
