I had a blast watching this show, Delisco truly embodies Michael's essence in voice and dance. The Virginia Symphony added to a fantastic ensemble of artists, including Felicia Barton who was also able to showcase her own vocal talents in a few featured songs. If you ever have been a fan of Michael's music, particularly his early works, then this concert is a MUST SEE!
Amazing! We had such a good time. The headliner was great, and the dancer and idol contestant where true hjighlights. Of course the VA ochestra was absolutely wonderful. Good time for us.
What an evening! Lots of excitement and looked like a full house! Loved the performers, James Delisco was very high energy and sincerely interpreted the music of Michael, the legendary singer, songwriter, dancer and humanitarian. . He could not look like Michael Jackson but did his very best to perform all the right notes and all the right moves. Loved the contribution of the Virginia Symphony mixing in with the pop/rock feel of the entire evening, and the contributions of the various children who came on stage. And Michael Jackson would have LOVED that this performance took place on Earth Day. I just wish it were more than a one-night event! Please do your best, Arts Festival, to bring this show back to Norfolk.
This show was truly worth seeing. They did performed some really unique dance moves.
Excellent performance! I thoroughly enjoyed it. They brought a new twist to ballet!
My husband and I had purchased tickets for this show and then WON 2 more through Pilot online (our first contest we entered!) I really enjoyed it and thought all the voices were fantastic and it covered many poignant moments about the civil war. My only disappointment was that there was no music from that time period. My sister thought it would be more like a play.
A really wonderful musical that made for a great Sunday afternoon for our family with kids ages 9 and 11. Appreciated the subtitles so the kids could follow the story.....
Outstanding performance! A good depiction of the Civil War and its impact on the people of the South. The backdrops were unique and added much. Orchestra tops!
A well-balanced look at the Civl War in one county in VA
The show was awesome and only needed an opening act to build up to what this gang of musician put on Friday night. What a funky sencond half.
What a wonderful show! The songs were great and musicians were incredibly talented, as were the singers. Jae Sinnett has struck gold with this group. The Attucks theater was the perfect venue. Every seat was great.
The previews said we would be rocking and dancing in our seats with old school soul music. I didn't do much standing up. The music arrangement was okay. The first two songs were extremely long and seemed to repeat the same lyrics thruout. The vocalist is very good but the songs were average. Horn section was average, Didn't have that soulful sound I was expecting. Needed some more brass. Guitars were real good. Good show but not great. Bring more funk.
The show was really entertaining. Wish it was a little longer. The lead singer sent chills all through me. She had an amazing range and was truly soulful. The horn section did the damn thing but I am partial to the trumpet. Interestingly enough the horn section were all music educators at CNU. I was pleasantly surprised that for educators they played extremely well. That could be my ignorance. Jae played in the zone and he took me there with me. What a trip!!! As much as I enjoyed Jae, his keyboard/piano player, GENIUS. I would go just to see him. I can't wait until he comes into his own. Only let down was the title of the show was a little misleading. I was expecting to hear 70's funk.
This attempt of portraying the Civil War through the perspective of several different people through song was disappointing. Historically accurate, but the lyrics and music fell short of being a dynamic statement or one that is novel. The female vocalists have lovely voices, especially Aundi Marie Moore. It seemed like Faith Sherman was asked to sing beyond her comfort zone at one point, but for "I Listen" she was very good. Kevin Moreno also has a very rich baritone.
My wife and I are not normally fans of opera, but we were highly pleased with the presentation of Rappahannock County. The performance, vocals and muscians, were of outstanding quality. There were some segments where the vocal arrangements did not seem to suit the situation, however, for the most part the performance was conducted with excellence in movement and content
