Sound was terrible
by millere2001 on 5/26/13Akron Civic Theatre - AkronRating: 2 out of 5The choreography was excellent and everyone showed a lot of energy and enthusiasm. But I always worry about going to see a musical act at the Civic. The sound varies so much depending on where you sit. This time I was in ORCH-2 row P and the sound was TERRIBLE. While it appeared that they were excellent singers and musicians, it was hard to tell because instruments drowned out the singers. Maybe I am spoiled by the sound in EJThomas. I also felt that the instrumentation was too stripped down for MJ music - guitar, bass, drums, trumpet and sax. No full-time keys or background singers. So maybe they were trying to compensate by playing louder For me, it didn't work.
