I think the cast was talented. It was very difficult to hear some of the cast members. We had decent seats, row L that should not have been an issue. Because, it had won best musical years back and was billed as a musical we expected more music.
Couldn’t understand Thier English. Music was ok. Really didn’t enjoy myself nor did my wife. Sorry
This was a unique and fresh musical experience. The story was poignant and humorous. The music was rich and the musicians were fantastic! It was a quieter story which drew one into the lives of the characters in a way that kept one asking questions after leaving the theater.
The play was sweet, and a good story. The dialogue was so muffled by the thick accents that a lot of what was said was not understood. The volume used by the actors would have been appropriate for a much smaller venue. Much of the songs' lyrics were inaudible. We sat in Row T of the orchestra, and the same comments were made by others behind and in front of us. The problem was also discussed by the ladies waiting in line for the restroom. Because it was so difficult to hear, I'm sure I missed a lot of the subleties in characterizations and in actors' nuances. So, gave it an "aveage" rating.
The experience was sadly disappointing due to poor sound in the theater. Dialogue was muddy and difficult to comprehend. On a side note the conductor monitor was so bright as to be terribly distracting. We were seated in the center of the orchestra section.
Performance was very good. The venue tarnished the overall experience.
Music and story were excellent. Dialog was very difficult to hear and understand and I was in Row R, I listened to the music and lyrics on Spotify and I am glad I did, otherwise I would have missed a lot of the story.
What a fabulous show..exceeded my expectations and then some. The premise of the story was simple yet entertaining. The talents of the performers were stupendous. The band itself was a delight to listen to as was the singing.
Excellent performers and musicians with good story in unusual setting.
Started off great. Entertaining. Then just ok. Maybe we missed something.
It was so beautiful! Subtle, understated, and deeply touching. The cast was outstanding.
The Band's Visit joins truly brilliant shows like Come From Away that are refreshingly different, theatrically masterful, deeply inspiring and speak to everything that is happening in the world today. I have not stopped replaying songs, scenes and unforgetable moments that I will undoubtedly remember for a lifetime. How blessed are we to have live theatre in our lives, and to be able to make sure our grandkids do as well.
Disappointed … I’m sure it was a very good musical but with the heavy accents none of the four of us were able to understand what was being said. The voices we’re excellent…
We saw this show in San Diego at The Civic Theatre and thoroughly enjoyed it! The cast, music, and stage settings were fantastic. We didn't want it to end! Cannot understand the negative reviews.
I can't begin to understand why this musical has been awarded so many honors. The only two positives I can come up with are 1) it was not your typical musical, and 2) the cast did seem to enjoy their roles. I saw this in San Diego at the Civic Theater. It was too large a venue for the detail of the dialogue. Whatever story line(s) I did catch were poorly developed and often seemed jagged. I'm left SMH.
The Band's Visit is a simply beautiful, funny, heart-touching musical. As an avid theatergoer and someone who often participates in theater, I would wholeheartedly recommend you go see this show. You will laugh, smile, and cry.
An intimate show rather than a big blast musical . Very fulfilling but the sound quality a problem so all 4 people we attended with had trouble with the lyrics and dialogue.
We left The Band’s Visit after suffering through the first 30 minutes. I have seen many performances at Centennial Hall while seated in the mezzanine section. This production was not suitable for a venue the size of Centennial Hall- we were unable to hear and see. We were very disappointed and this was a waste of money
Write up did not reflect show. Very disappointing.
Sound was terrible. Everyone in my group had difficulty with the dialogue. If I hadn’t seen the movie, I would have been completely lost.
