The Musical Box Tickets

I've been a Genesis fan since the early 08's and I've loved the Peter Gabriel-era music. I had heard of The Musical Box before and I knew they were authorized/endorsed by Peter Gabriel & Genesis so I checked out the show. I'm so glad I did! This performance was of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, which tey played in it's entirety. They took extraordinary efforts to re-create the Genesis experience back then. They meticulously recreated the sound of the album, which isn't what Genesis did back then but worked well for me. After all, I had seen several Genesis tours and enjoyed how they changed the music live but, to see a tribute band, I appreciated the faithfulness of the sound. Also, they put in a massive research effort and recompiled several hundred of the original slides that were used in the projections on the 1975 tour. They even consulted members of the road crew to assemble them in the right order. They all wore period cloting and the singer even put on several of the costumes used on the original tour. The Regency Ballroom is a small, intimate, flat ballroom which only further enhanced the feel of the production.

I am so grateful for The Musical Box - love old Genesis so much, and being able to see thier songs performed perfectly is almost like asking too much!!! I have loved every one of their tours, and The Lamb is the highlight.....the singer is very engaging, which the audience will appreciate - and they don't seem bored to death like some other cover bands - they seem very much into the music, they have mastered it, and they are great. It's so great to get together with old friends and family and enjoy the music we so passionately loved in our youth - took my 26 year old son with me again and he loved it too - I turned him on to some old tunes and he is as big a fan as I am. When I think of the complex music of The Lamb and the story told, and the anger......it stirs my dormant teenage passion - thanks for a night of feeling it again. Band is great, will see them whenver they come around - hoping for a SEBTP tour soon............

As good as could be imagined to truly recreate the magic of the original. Bravo!

If you are a Genesis fan, this is a must see! There is not much to say that has not been written about previously but I can not recommend this enough. Truly a time warp, I can not wait until they come back to Boston.

I had a great experience, one available only thru the tribute band.

If you are a fan of the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis, you owe it to yourself to see this band live. They performed "in character" the Genesis "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" tour in a stunning display of music and visuals. The only way you could see a better rendition of this show would be to get your hands on a time machine and see the real thing. When they come back to Boston I will be there!

The Muscial Box was in top form last night in Ridgefield, Connecticut. A dream come true for fans who never got to see the show in the 70s. One thing is clear to me after seeing the show -- a reunited Genesis, even if Phil recovered from his physical problems, would probably not be able to pull it off nearly as well. It is simply too heavy, complicated, and physically demanding.

Most Genesis fans, like me, caught up with their music in the late seventies. By then Peter Gabriel was long gone. But along came the Musicalbox which filled a void for many fans by playing those early Genesis concerts. The second show at the Vic was sold out. Dennis Gagne and the band gave a SUPERB performance! When this band plays the progressive spirit is back in full force. Watching the visuals and special affects blend with the music was very cool. What a bunch of 25 year olds created 37 years ago was quite magical. All this said the show was INCREDIBLE...a must see!!!! Thanks again, Musicalbox. Since Genesis never made the cover of Rolling Stone, they should put the Musicalbox on the cover and have a story about both-an interesting twist. Great music lives on!

AN INCREDIBLE RECREATION OF A UNIQUE CONCEPT LP BY GENESIS DONE ALMOST EXACTLY AS GENESIS PERFORMED IT IN 1974. VISUAL AND MUSICAL MAGIC TO A DIEHARD FAN. NOT AS MUCH ENERGY AS THE FUTURE SHOWS IN CHICAGO DUE TO THE SMALL CROWD BUT TRUELY ENJOYABLE!

The instrumental parts were very good. Close your eyes and you think Genenis is in the room. The lead singer was great for the softer instrumental songs but whenever it got loud the lead singer was drowned out. Very disappointed. Also since the event was not sold out or ticket sales were not as expected the balconey was not opened thus we did not get the seats we paid for. We were placed in seats we NEVER would of purchased. Needless to say I will not be attending any more concerts at The Pagent.

For those of us not fortunate to have seen Genesis with Peter Gabriel perform live (other than by way of some grainy YouTube video or old VHS recording), The Musical Box, for a good two hours, made me think I was there in 1975, watching Lamb being performed by the original artists. They did not miss a note. One minor critique: lead singer's mic needed more volume. The music was so good but it occasionally drowned out the lyrics.

Having now seen both trick of the tail and lamb tours I can say that there is no question that the Peter Gabriel era genesis is why I like this kind of music. The musical box was as always excellent in every way and the intimate setting at the pageant theater was perfect. I hope the musical box continues for many more years to explore the legend that is genesis.

Grand Rapids needs more quality shows like "Musical Box". The crowd and I had a good time and I was amazed at all of the fans who had seen "Genesis" do the show at Grand Valley in 1974. I prepared myself by listening to the entire "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" album before the show and was not disappointed.

Awesome show... A true delight for any Genesis fan.

Amazing how much Denis Gagné sounds like Peter Gabriel. Loved watching Gregg Bendian on drums, never missed a beat. Took me back to the days of Genesis with the theatrics. Look forward to their next stop in St. Louis.

Like stepping into a time machine to hear the great music of early Genesis! Hope the Musical Box returns to do more shows.

The Musical Box put on a fantasic show of Genesis' the lamb lies down on broadway. The musicianship was spot-on and from what i can tell, the show was visually quite similar to how Genesis with Peter Gabriel would perform it, with slides from the original Genesis tour playing behind the band and multiple costume changes for the lead singer. They ended the show with a couple of encores - The Musical Box and Watcher of the Skies which were also very well done, each including unique costumes for lead singer. You can tell these guys have put a lot of work into re-creating the sound and look of classic 1970's Genesis. I would definitely pay to see them again!

The Musical Box was very impressive. The songs sounded very close to the Genesis recording. The lead singer did a great job sounding like Peter Gabriel and acting like he did in concert. The slideshow in the background was from the original tour. If you are a true fan of old Genesis and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, you will love this concert.

Musicianship, vocal interpretation, role-playing, showmanship. I felt they hit it on all marks. I've never seen Peter Gabriel before, but wish I could have after seeing this. The lead vocalist was incredible, as well the drummer doing intricate drums, while singing harmony.

If you know the album chances are you love the album and if that is the case...SEE THIS SHOW! The band, the staging, the sound were all top notch...the boys themselves would have a hard time topping this show musically. Do yourself a favor and get your ticket now then enjoy the buildup, the show and revel and the afterglow.
