Not the best one
State Theatre - Minneapolis
I have gone to MANY of the holiday shows. This one was lacking big time. The musical guests, song choices etc disappointed my whole group. Guys, I love u but it seems like u spent a week planning this one. Total letdown especially for the price.

Meh
State Theatre - Minneapolis
First time seeing this annual holiday show. Honestly I don’t understand the popularity. Instruments blasted over vocals. Reminded me of kids deciding to put on a show in their backyard for the neighborhood. Head shaker about who spends $135/ticket for this!

cold leftovers

The show was flat. Liz W was horribly not funny. The show had poor pacing. Chris K's song was awful. Chan's voice is getting weaker. The Mike L comedy skit was not funny. The sauna skit was very boring. The sound mix on any conversation and some of the musically numbers was muddy. Stick to the music and the show/dance numbers and cut the skit stuff. The New Standards need to push forward and stay on the path of reinvention of pop and classic songs done in their style. The audience was one of the rudest bunch I have been around. They need to be quiet and not yell stuff out. They need to shut up when talking to friends next to them. They need to learn how to whisper. They need to put down their phones and enjoy the show. State Theater had blowing cold air on patrons up in the balcony.

Great, but not the best!
State Theatre - Minneapolis
Great show but disappointed by the sound quality. Singers were frequently drowned out by the instruments - mostly brass.

It was OK, not great as usual
State Theatre - Minneapolis
The show was OK, but definitely below the high standards that we have come to expect each year.

Absolutely Brilliant
State Theatre - Minneapolis
An absolutely brilliant and fabulous show. It was the first time going to this seasonal phenomenon but it certainly won’t be the last. Excellent performances and such an incredible variety. New Standards Holiday Show is iconic.

Always a Great Show
State Theatre - Minneapolis
The New Standards Holiday Show is a tradition in our house. I don't think we've missed a year! As usual, the guests were great, but the show seemed just a bit less energetic than other years. Even the line getting into the concert seemed more subdued. Of course, the devil's appearance is a huge hit. We loved the performances of "Downtown"- good message to get people to come back downtown! - and "I Want Candy."Aby Wolf is aways great. Robert Robinson's performance was beautiful. We always love the horns, woodwinds, strings, percussion, and keyboards - and any instrument I might have missed. Some more snow during "Snow Days"would have made the song more magical (maybe it was where we were seated). The disco dance party is so much fun! Please continue this show for as long as possible!

Opening Act for our Holidays
State Theatre - Minneapolis
We go to this show every year, it's always fun and certainly interesting. A most joyful show that brings it on as no other Christmas show does. Full of great music, musicians, talented dancers and tons of laughts.

A Tradition of Excellence
State Theatre - Minneapolis
Been going to this show since the Fitz days and there’s always something fresh an memorable, from Robert Bly’s joyous energy to the audacity of Matt Wilson’s MacArthur Park. This year was no exception with Robert Robinson’s moving performances.
