I saw Ennio 3 years ago, and it was new and innovative. This time I was less enthralled, and bored, at times. Some of the music was unfamiliar to me, and, as a result, I couldn't tell if the costumes were reminiscent of the particular artist. In addition, we were seated in the next to the last row of the balcony. From that vantage point, the paper costumes did not always have the correct perspective.Written on Dec 23 2008
Finally, while it is a fun event, it has no real emotional content. It didn't stick with me, and as soon as I left the theater, I felt as though I had not been there.

He had us roaring! Very entertaining performance. As the other reviewer stated it was difficult leaving the garage after the Saturday matinee.Written on Dec 22 2008

My girlfriend & I saw Ennio last year & loved the performance! This year we brought my 15-yr old daughter & she loved the show as well. Ennio is so creative & talented that I wish that more shows per year were added to the Bay Area.Written on Dec 22 2008
