    Viva El Paso outside theater at it's best

    by SantiagoZed on 8/4/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    This is a must see. The venue is excellent, pre-show dining, beautiful view. Just that alone is worth the trip. The show; well all I have to say, is BRAVO. What a talented group of performers, with NON-Stop energy. The performers and sets were as good as any theater; in Chicago or New York. OH; sorry EL Paso is 100 times better. What a testimony to the wonderful talent and diverse cultural we have in El Paso. To the Viva Staff; when does the Video go on sale? Blessings to the Viva Team, Can't wait till next year. Note: Bring a seat cushion!!!

    Viva El Paso was tremendous!

    by waltbabyluv on 8/3/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    I was impressed by the dancing and the costumes. The entire event was wonderful and the setting was terrific. Some of the singing could have been a little better, but this did not really detract from the event.

    not like it used to be

    by OldElPasoan on 8/2/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    This show was incredibly disappointing. Having moved away from El Paso when I was 18, my annual visits, become a week long adventure of doing things from my childhood. This year I dragged my family to Viva El Paso.... the story line was sappy and drawn out... and very heavy on the Mexican heritage. While I love the Mexican traditions and the Mexican people that I grew up with, not all people from El Paso are Mexican. The acting was brutal..... as was the actual script..... the male dancers were pretty good though... that was impressive. All in all, it was too long, it dragged out, and the was performance lackluster. Stay home this year!

    El Paso Historical Event

    by Aggie2 on 8/2/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    Viva El Paso is an entertaining presentation of El Paso's History. There is lots of dancing, singing, and beautiful costumes. Viva El Paso is performed at McKelligon Canyon Theatre which is outdoors. The view of the mountain at the back of the stage is beautiful! I grew up in El Paso and had been to Viva El Paso around 20 years ago. My understanding is that Viva El Paso is under different management than it was 20 years ago. I must say that although it was much better 20 years ago, it is still worth seeing. The first half of the show was a bit slow, but the enthusiasm and excitement finally picked up in the second half. Viva El Paso has great performances of numerous Mexican dances. That alone is worth seeing. I would recommend for anyone to see Viva El Paso at least once in their lifetime.

    Good stuff here.

    by JoshuaEast on 7/27/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    It was definitely worth the money. And for things to do in El Paso, this one hits top 5. I would recommend this to anyone. Its comical, musical, and unforgettable. And it doesnt matter where you sit, anywhere gets you a good view, all the seats had a great view of the whole stage, no need to twist your head in a weird direction. You'll be fine sitting in the center, left, or right of the stage.

    VIVA El Paso is a great performance!

    by jrdr4u on 7/20/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    It is my second year viewing VIVA El Paso and it continues to be a worthwhile event to see. However, this year I need to advise those in charge of the event to review with their sound coordinator to improve on this asapect of the event. Sound would fade out or be interrupted on more than one person subtracting from the quality of the event. Otherwise, the organization and other aspects of an oudoor event such as this were excellent.

    WOW, FANTASIC

    by Capetu on 7/20/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    This presentation was very well done. It was my first time seeing it, but I know I want to see it again. My guest from Florida was so impressed with the dancing, singing and the El Paso history part of it. The cast are so professional and also very friendly after the show. Guys, keep up the fantastic work. PS: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE "VIVA EL PASO" ADVERTISED MORE IN AND AROUND FORT BLISS, SO THAT OUT- OF- TOWNERS CAN SEE THE GREAT TELENT WE HAVE HERE IN EL PASO.

    by QueSpr95 on 7/19/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    This was a very first rate show!! The entire atmosphere was very good, from the pre show from the dance studio kids to the main attraction!! I would highly recommend this show to all. I can not wait until I have visitors to bring to this show as a highlight of the rich history of EL Paso!!

    Viva El Paso

    by anbuxton on 7/18/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    Good show! The seats are not super comfortable so I would suggest bringing a cushion to sit on. They do have back and arm rest though. The show is rather long and I would not recommend it for children eight years old.

    Viva Viva El Paso!

    by AnneBoleynfan on 7/17/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    I was pleased to see that the program was much closer to the original format. The costuming as always was beautiful. The audio system was a problem for a moment but thankfully was resolved. I do love seeing the history of El Paso played out in song and dance. Cheers, Anne

    Vivia El Paso-thumbs down

    by pbfromelpaso1 on 7/15/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    I've been out of the country for the last 5 years, so I was looking forward to enjoy my own cultural history through music and dance. The costumes we're nice, colorful and really added to the musical. The story line did not flow well, it was difficult to follow. The dancers weren't as professional as times before, nor the singers . Everything was to busy,I'm sure to distract you from the whole story. I like that they added the history of John Hardy but disgraced Fort Bliss which happen to be the biggest supporter of the El Paso economy. Plus we have many soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan. Ft Bliss and White Sands area is 25% of what the Army controls or owns. Ft Bliss deserve more credit. ( No I'm not military.)

    Took our visitors from Australia to Viva El Paso. It was beautiful and colorful. Gives a good understanding of how El Paso developed into what it is today.

    Viva El Paso was Amazing !!!

    by House6 on 7/15/09McKelligon Canyon Theatre - El Paso

    Viva El Paso is the best event to attend all year long ! The story of El Paso is told in a wonderful way that incorporates many dances. The costumes are beautiful and truly reflect their part of the story. The dancers are well trained and very professional. They absolutely convey the excitement of life in our border town. Their are moments of quiet during the dance and others so exciting , you want to get out of your seat!! My Mother was visiting during this time, and she enjoyed it so much!! it was her favorite activity of her entire trip. This production appeals to all ages. Little ones will be entranced by the music, dance and colorful costumes. I will go again before the season ends. All I have left to say is "VIVA EL PASO!!!!!!!"
