Piano Guys was good, but something was missing...
by Lauramom on 6/28/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesA couple very talented musicians! But what I had hoped for was a bit more. I was hooked on seeing this group after watching YouTube videos, so I expected to see a foursome doing amazing things with an open piano. Instead, we were treated to two very talented musicians who played their hearts out on piano and cello, while engaging in some funny (but rather stale) banter. So much more could have been done technically to improve the show. I hope that if they continue to tour, they will add the use of close-up camera work that can be shown on the big screens. While an explanation was offered for the omission of the 3rd and 4th players, it didn't come until just before the encore, which left us wondering what was up for most of the performance. I do hope said performer returns once his back injury is resolved. Next time, however, I hope they are able to bring a bit more showmanship to augment their musical talent. Maybe a new creative director is in order?
