Great talent that was mostly wasted and the show was very lackluster and also very brief.
The singers, even though theater award winners, some songs did not match their expected quality. The MC seemed disparate to get the audience to laugh but his material as the almost "cast" sad sap was horrible. Also, some of his monologue just went on and on to make time.
The accompanying dance numbers were not enough. There were very few good singing performance but it didn't help the whole evening. The band's performance was very good.
The show printed program had great bios but lack information from what show, of what song and whom was going to perform.
The show was way too short for all the material available from musical theater. This was even echo by other audience members when the show ended.
The individual performers were good, but the whole was a little amateurish with unnecessary, and mostly un-funny, emcee-ing between the musical numbers. The fact that it was so short actually worked in its favor, because at least the torture didn't last too long. If we hadn't been stack-parked, we would have left at intermission. Too bad, too, because the Ford Amphitheater is a great little venue.
The 1241-seat outdoor Ford Amphitheatre is set against a backdrop of cypresses and chaparral in the Hollywood Hills. It is relatively intimate: no patron is more than 96 feet away from the stage. Music, dance, film, theatre and family events are presented during the summer months. The Ford Amphitheatre Season is a program of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
