Great show
Chrysler Hall - Norfolk
Venue is tired. Seemed like venue was too large for the show.

Music Connects Us
Chrysler Hall - Norfolk
The Band’s Visit is exquisite. The music is unlike anything I’ve ever heard in a Broadway show. At least three numbers were so beautiful in melody and lyrics and emotion that I had tears. The story is deceptively “unimportant” — eight members of an Egyptian band are unexpectedly stranded in an isolated Israeli town. The townspeople ignore political implications and provide hospitality. Though they have language and cultural barriers, the guests and hosts connect through the universal language of music. By the end, it feels like everyone is a little bit changed. There is joy, loneliness, longing, and humanity. Truly, as one of the songs says, Something Different. I would like to visit The Band’s Visit again and again.

The Band’s Visit in Norfolk
Chrysler Hall - Norfolk
Unique musical was so much more than your normal broadway musical. The minimalist set design worked very well. The cast was superb, but due to the bad acoustics in Chrysler Hall, it was sometimes difficult to understand the accented dialogue.

Bands visit
Chrysler Hall - Norfolk
I attended the show with a friend. We liked the music as it was different from the usual musical music. We actually would have liked to hear more of that music during the play. Sometimes the actors were difficult to understand. But we realize that in foreign places communication is difficult.
