The real Babs and Frank could not have done any better. Both were sensational and I loved the intimate venue.
These are two terrific performers that sound and look just like Barbra and Frank! Very cleverly put together. Being in the Riviera with these two helps you imagine what the hotel and casino must have been like back then. I heartily recommend this show. Skip Spamalot and see this show instead!
We were going for a cheesy Vegas show and we were not disappointed. They were solid performers and it was good for a few laughs.
The Frank Sinatra impersonator sounded so much like the real Sinatra it was amazing. The performer looked like a young Sinatra and not like the older Sinatra I am used to looking at.
Wonderful show, Both Barbara and Frank were awesome and what a great price! We slipped the usher a few dollars and sat in the very front row. The venue is nice and small though so really no bad seats. I will use Goldstar again and again!!!Thanks (:
I enjoyed the show. I thought the gentlemen that impersonated Frank Sinatra was terrific, but the Barbra impersonator was lacking. She had a good voice in her own right, and the songs were enjoyable to hear. It was a nice evening out, but I am glad that I was able to get the tickets from Goldstar at half price. I don't think it would have been worth full price.
Very good impressions. Both voices were dead on, but barbra looked exactly like her and frank looked only pretty close. We enjoyed the show. Mostly older folks in the showroom. Good value.
This was an AWESOME show, and we got the chance to meet them after the show. They were very nice, answer questions, and took lot of photos with the audience. This is a much see show, and the cheapest way for us to see Barbara.
Very enjoyable event. It provided the feel of a "classic" Vegas show from earlier times. Both musicians did a very credible job of portraying Frank and Barbra in voice and mannerisms. Excellent singers in their own right. The only downside was the mixed success at humor, which at times seemed forced. Happy that I purchased the tickets through Goldstar, since I may not have opted to go to this at full price.
This show is soooooo the real OLD Las Vegas. Frank was fantastic and Barbra was very entertaining. The two blend very well and compliment one another. I just loved the authentic, small, and intimate showroom setting. Well worth the time and money. A must see! Even better in person than their appearances on television. Thanks for the memories......Joyce
The two current performers were about as close as you can get to the real thing. While there were a few times that Barbra was a little off she has an extremely powerful voice and rocks the house. Frank was fairly close also, one of the better Franks I have seen. LeBistro theatre, next to box office at the strip, is small, seats about 150 so all seats are good. Good sound system and lighting also. The piano player was exceptional also.
Both were better than I expected. Sound dead on, but on this night, Barbra, was searching for a few notes at times. I like the interaction they have with the audience. They even left with the people at the end to talk with them and shake hands. The only way to make it better is if you could shield the noise from the casino and bar,it can be heard.
"Barbra" was wonderful....Looked and sounded like Streisand. "Frank" did not look or sound like Sinatra, however, he had a pleasing voice. The performance was good and enjoyable. What I did not like was that they both wandered through the audience with a photographer in tow and took pictures with half the audience which they tried to sell after the show. Very tacky.
I honestly loved this show. I wanted to love Frank but I think that was more of my love for the real Frank pushing through. I went for him but loved Barbra. She was amazing. Hilarious, great voice and a very close likeness. I felt bad that there werent many people but I loved not having to share them with too many people and Sharon puts on a show as if shes performing for a full house in the colosseum. Our audience was mostly seniors except for my group and the audience participation made it hilarious.
It's a shame this is not better attended. Sebastian and Saron were superb, especially Sharon. She not only looked and sang like Barbra, but talked like her.
The two of them worked every bit as hard and professionally as if they had a full house.
We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary being serenaded in a gondola in Venice, Italy. I told Sebastian that I thought this was better. I am a Sinatra fan, and my wife likes Streisand-so this was as enjoyable as any event we have attended. We did see Frank on his final tour.
Be sure to see this show, a very fun evening and worth every penny. The small venue is the perfect atmosphere to see this talented couple. These two are great, Sharon and Sebastian put on an excellent show. If you are familiar with the mannerisms of Frank and Barbra, you will enjoy the show all the more.
The show starts out with some comedy, and seems pretty hokey. As the stars sing and get into the flow, the music gets better. Both impersonators did a nice job at the singing, they try hard to make it seem Frank is really back in a concert with Barbara. This is a typical Rivera show, glad I got discount tickets. The theater had many empty seats.
Both Barbra and Frank had great voices. I'm a big Barbra fan and I was afraid that this might be a little lame and that my husband would be totally bored, but he enjoyed it and I loved it. They both did their major hit songs and teased each other on stage. It was a fun night.
When we arrived to pick up our tickets, there was a sign on the counter that the performers for that night's show were different then in the promos. Originally thought that I would enjoy Barbara more than Frank, but the reverse was true. Although the performance was OK, it was not quite as expected.
The impersonators were almost as good as the originals. I really enjoyed when they joke with each other and sing together. Barbara belted out her songs and made us long for more songs. Sinatra was good but was weak on reaching the high notes in some of his classics(all the way).
I liked it, even though it got a little cheesy with the pics in the audience. If I closed my eyes I heard Frank Sinatra and someone imitating Barbara Streisand. Too much Jewish humor from her. It got irritating. But a great review of Frank's songs. There were no bad seats in the house so we didn't need to stand in line really. If you sat in the front row you were chosen to do pics with.
I especially liked the sinatra character!We were there the night the 2 substitutes stood in for the regular performers! Wonderful performance!!
We really enjoyed Brabra and Frank. Their real voices were wonderful! It was an enjoyable experience. My parents loved it so much, they purchased their CD's after the show.
Out of town guests, Frank/Barbra fans. Given that they attended performances given by both Frank and Barbra, I was concerned, however they enjoyed the performance immensely.
From the TV reality show, The Next Best Thing, these 2 performers are wonderful.... At times "Frank" was a yawner, but "Barbra" was on the money, Glad she has top billing, :-).
My 89 year old mother in law was very entertained and loved the performance. Myself 56 and wife 54, were very entertained.
For a "low budget" production this was well worth it. The only thing missing was the popcorn !!
What a fantastic show. These people are so talented and their voices are so amazing, you will forget that they are not the real deal. They should be in a bigger venue because they are awesome. My mother loved "Frankie" so much that when he sang "My Way" the tears were rolling down her cheeks.
This was one of the best old time - what Vegas used to be; Vegas at the Riveria Hotel type shows and we had a great time. Go and enjoy it - you won't be sorry...
They were great. It felt as if Frankie was at his prime. Barbra was as real as real can be. Seats were great.
Great show, Sharon was particularly good. Great venue and an intimate setting.
great show
Very entertaining show in a cabaret setting! Both performers did remarkable jobs capturing the vocals, mannerisms and personas of the real Barbra and Frank. Wonderful live piano accompaniment mixed with recorded music. Fun banter with audience, both performers seems to enjoy the show as much as the audience. They also greeted the audience after the show and autographed posters/CDs. Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Frank or Barbra and wants an entertaining 90 minute show.
This was a fun show. These two performers did an excellent job of impersonating Barbra & Frank. I enjoyed the show from start to finish.
Wonderful show! The performers were very talented--great voices and even more wonderful songs. A bit too much patter between. The pianist was a super part of the show.
very fun, with lots of audience interaction!
Great interaction between performers and audience.
Nice repetoire and voices. Upbeat and entertaining.
We were so excited when ordering the tickets, and disappointed to rate the show mediocre at best. Regarding the substitutes for the performers shown in the Preview Video, the "Barbra" did not begin to measure up. The sound was excruciatingly loud, but probably good for the hearing impaired. The theater was a small venue, no bad seats, but somewhat unfinished and shabby, although the movable seating that looked like swivel desk chairs on casters was rather novel. Had we the option, we would have walked out during the first portion of the show to request a refund, but there is a no refund policy so we toughed it out and ended up regretting it.
It was an enjoyable evening, Barbra and Frank were good. The music was familiar and well done, the back and forth between the two 'performers' needs a little fine tuning.... If you go, you might want to eat at Tony Roma's in the Freemont.
great show
Great show - worth every penny
If you love the real ones, you'll enjoy this show...Frank definitely sang better than Barbara...a good time.
Wow, fantastic show! Great intimate setting!
We did not see the stars of the show----think the originals are better.
The songs were those associated with Sinatra and Streisand and while not up to the originals were entertaining.
they are wonderful performers...very talented...a great show..they did not skip a beat....
Sebastian Anzaldo who portrays Frank Sinatra was very convincing as Frank Sinatra - not as smooth as the real Frank in the upper register, but amazingly close overall.
Sharon Owens as Barbra has an excellent voice, but tends to focus on the "ditzy" side of Barbara's character. She did have some good ad-libs and both actors were having a good time, but I wished they would focus a bit more on the music and a bit less on the comedy.
The show was well done with the two performers doing a brillant job of their characters. I would recomend seeing this show if you are Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand fans.
It was Great!!!
Cozy setting. Great performers and a reasonable price = great experience.
Great show.
