Tim Minchin Tickets

I've listened to Tim for a few of years now but missed the ones when he was touring. He does not tour much anymore and I just happened to be doing my occasional checking if he was around and saw he had only 2 live shows, one was in NYC and the other in LA. Figured this might be my only chance to see him, so bought a last minute single ticket and drove down from Boston just to see him. There was no new material and he even mentioned that he was a bit out of practice since he does not perform live as much as he used to. He occasional missed notes on the piano, which he readily called out, cursed at himself for missing, told us to not applaud for that, when back and tried it again, and then nailed, it was entertaining and just so much fun. This guy's piano playing is mesmerizing, powerful and the envy of any of us that play. I'd give my right arm to play like him...however, I guess that would be a really bad trade and truly hinder my progress! Combine that with his biting wit and masterful word play, I so wish he was writing new music and touring. He speaks a painful yet hilarious truth on so many subjects that many of us can relate to, I wish he was still writing and skewering society to help us release the collective feelings of frustration that we have weighing on us. If you ever, EVER have the chance to see Tim live, are ok with pretty raunchy and vulgar comedy, and have an open mind, you will not be disappointed. Being an atheist does not hurt either! ;-) He ended his show with a version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, he even said it was a cliche to play it, but was doing it anyway. Dark stage and theater, him playing and singing, audience singing and harmonizing..now that was a religious experience, ironic, no? Tim, please, please write more and tour. You are the hero we need now more than ever!!!

That's an old quote from Tim defining a genius. And of course, he is a genius. To be fair, asking me to review Tim Minchin is like asking a jackal to review meat. But this was actually my first live Tim show, and he was perfect. He is the only performer I've ever seen who can make a great show even better by forgetting his lyrics. He was goofy and brilliant, sang a bunch of songs and did a bunch of bits, all of which I've heard before and still LMAO. Threw in a bit of Matilda and Groundhog Day and a singalong of Hallelujah in the dark that was amazing.

This was my first visit to the Beacon Theater. I only went to see a performer that I have been waiting over 4 years to see- Tim Mnchin. He is a great performer. He is a great personality. His piano playing, lyrics and tunes are incredible. He is a genius on sterioids. There are few performers you will see with the incredible suavity, honesty, creativeness that effuses from his body. I sat 4 rows from the stage and could appreciate fully all his creativity and demeanors. The venue itself was beautiful and I spent the time prior to his appearance gawking at the furnishings that were both overt and subliminal. Tim Minchin is a must. Don't be a fool and miss out if you have a chance to see him and laugh out load.

I discovered Tim Minchin only recently, and after the point when he was performing solo regularly. When this concert was advertised, I did not hesitate to fly from Colorado to NYC for this show. His intelligent and socially aware humor combined with outstanding musicianship made for a night I will never forgot.

Tim Minchin is a genius. If he were just a piano player, he would be one of the most dazzling virtuosos you ever heard. But that isn't even his greatest talent! As a composer and lyricist, he is among the sharpest satirists working today, and a desperately needed voice skewering the madness and hypocrisy that afflicts the Western world. (Not to mention being a gifted actor and stand-up comedian and the force behind some of the smartest musicals around.) If there were a God, we would have to thank him for Tim.

Three standing ovations, brilliant lyrics, phenomenal piano playing ability, social commentary without being preachy. And so so funny. Best show I've seen in many years

Tim was great. This was my first time seeing him since I discovered his music and comedy last year. He was as funny, entertaining, and relatable as could be expected. I hope he tours more often so I can see him again. Beacon theater was beautiful.

Tim is so unique - as an artist and human being. Quirky, hysterical, genius and adorable all in one. I've followed him for years and just so Thrilled to se him in person. Great show!

I love Tim Minchin. He is hilarious, musical, compelling. As always, his show was an experience not to be missed! Fabulous show, fabulous artist!

There is no artist, and no act (comedy, rock, or otherwise) that is as unique, smart, vulgar, hilarious, catchy, or endearing as Tim Minchin. Sell the car, mortgage your home, do what must be done. Tim's show will be worth it.

It's Tim Minchin! He was awesome this time, just like he was at the previous shows that I've seen.

Tim Minchin is awesome and did a great perfromance!

Amazing pianist. Outrageous comedian. Incredible songwriter. Overwhelming stage presence. If you have a chance to see Tim Minchin live, do not pass it up. He is one of a kind. WARNING: If you are a religious person, Tim's humor will likely offend you. If you are not religious, you will laugh your ass off.

Tim rocks!!! It was incredible! Highly recommended.

Minchin was fabulous. not a lot of new material but solid as he hit the boards. his piano playing is mesmerizing. Even treated us to a preview of Groundhog Day the Musical. Wilshire Ebell theater has to hop into the 20th century. They were stymied with e-tickets and lined us up around the block if we had ticket apps instead of paper. Really, really bothersome. Also tight seats, uncomfortable. But Minchin made us forget the seats. he was awesome.

Tim messed up almost every song at least once, sometimes a couple of times. He kept forgetting words, mixing up words, or which part of the song or poem he was on. His interaction with the audience during these times was just as funny as the songs and it honestly felt more real than just watching him perform perfectly. I would certainly go and see him again.

Not everyone "gets" Tim Minchin. He's so intelligent. His lyrics are challenging and thought provoking. His piano work is dazzling. Seeing him solo was an amazing treat.

It was a stripped down show, just Tim, piano, mic and a fan. Well there were nothing but fans there, I mean the wind-for-dramatic-effect floor fan, which came on during Rock 'n Roll Nerd, and then got kicked. Tim's version of the smashing of guitars? it was a nerdy rock show. Look, he's kick-fan entertaining and smartass as an art form, rocking your nerdy sensibilities. Go see him. As for the Whilshire Ebell venue. Hot in the balcony. Couldn't hear some of Tim's monologue. Songs sounded good though. He played all the classics, fans adored him. Even the floor fan. I left wanting more Grounghog Day songs. Best stuff of his career. It's a man, a fan and a piano, tearing it up, Shredding Boundaries!

Before the show, the people and the atmosphere is one that can only be seen as enjoyable. The other fans and soon to be audience members were great fun to talk to. The show itself however, had the preshow conversations pale in comparison. If you ever have the chance to see him in person, take it.

Super show! My husband and I admire Tim Minchin's great talent. What a delight.
