Members Who Went Said:
This was a fabulous show of multi talented artists.
Nanci eclectic entertainment seeker We loved this concert! It was very reasonably priced, seats were good enough that we could see expressions on the performers faces without use of binoculers. It was high energy, versatile and very entertaining. We had seen a special with Bowfire on PBS recently, and that was our first exposure to the group, so we were excited when we saw tickets advertised on goldstar. The performance was definitely better than what we saw on TV. Highly recommend this to those who like something a bit different.
Anonymous Member Absolutely wonderful! Both my husband and I were thoroughly swept up in Bowfire's passion and performances! Each player was generously featured, and each was rich in gifting and stage-presence. The musical arrangments were great; the choreography was seamless and visually captivating. I would see this show again and again, and bring children and adults of all ages to see it as well. This was entertainment beautifully rendered and lovingly bestowed upon a willingly captive audience. ~ Deirdre |

About The Wiltern: The Wiltern Theatre first opened its doors to movie crowds on October 7th, 1931, as the Warner Theatre - a part of the Warner Brothers chain of first-run theaters. It later was re-named The Wiltern - after its location at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue. Recognized by the City of Los Angeles as a Historic Cultural Monument and placed on the National Register of Historic Places, this Art Deco Landmark was saved from the wrecking ball by the efforts of the Los Angeles Conservancy and was renovated and restored to its original splendor in 1985 by the Ratkovich Company, opening under the direction of Bill Graham Presents.Following a legendary history of performances and events, a $1.5 million facelift led to the Grand Re-Opening on October 15, 2002. Formerly an all-seated venue, the theatre had its 1,200-orchestra level seats removed and now features a five-tiered floor that rises upward from the stage, thereby accommodating every type of audience, from a standing-room-only configuration to banquet-style seated events. The balcony still offers a thousand permanent seats, and the flexible new arrangement allows for seats to be brought in to the floor section downstairs for more intimate performances. The venue's new capacity is roughly 2,300, depending on how the main floor level is arranged. |
