A splendid time!
by Spencemandy on 2/2/10Tropicana Showroom - Atlantic CityRating: 4 out of 5My husband and I really enjoyed the performance of Yesterday! We went on a Monday night, so the theater was literally next to empty- just about 20 people or so, so we had front row seats. When you see a tribute band, you have to get into the spirit of fun- and we did! We also appreciated that the bandmembers were very good musicians, very well rehearsed, and seemed to really be having a good time in spite of the small crowd. They played all the old faves, mostly upbeat numbers, which was a good thing. They bantered a bit between songs but pretty much stuck to churning out the hits one after another! It also gave us new appreciation- I mean, it's one thing to play your own songs, if you screw up no one really knows- but of course we knew every word and note of these songs so it took real talent and attention to detail to pull it off! The best one was actually Ringo in terms of Beatlesque vocals, although John was the only one who actually bore any physical resemblance. We were dancing at the end, just having a good time.
All in all, very much worth the price. Incidentally, if you have a young Beatle fan (as I do) at home, there is no age restriction on the show. I hope to return with my 12 year old daughter, she will just love it!
