Always looking for a bargain!

Welk always puts on a great show. We enjoy the family friendly contents of their productions. This show was entirely singing the old songs of the 30's & 40's.

It was boring- 4 people singing old songs (I like "oldies" if they are the "goodies") with minimum movement and talent!! They tried hard, but the song selection wasn't great, and neither was the choreoraphy. Not worth the drive out there nor the price of the tickets!!

We were not impressed. The music was good, the voices were weak, the choreography was annoying and many audience members left after the first act. We actually were glad we stuck around for the second act because it was better than the first but still not a great show. There was truly nothing that held the string of songs together. The musicians, however, were terrific.
