Best ever, and I am a 60 year-old musician who has seen and done many benefits. I felt like I was invited to a rich kid's house who had the coolest friends and got to watch them entertain each other all night. Absolutely a ONCE IN A LIFETIME!
What a fun showcase of all the talented cast of Grey's/PrivPrac! I was most impressed by Audra MacDonald's songs, and wished the programming had placed her pieces more prominently. Since this was a benefit for their friends in the crew I think they were a little more relaxed, which helped the fun. It was a delightful evening!
Amazing! Those people are so talented.
We had a fantastic time! We didn't really know what to expect, but the vocal talents of both the "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" cast blew us away! Many thanks to Goldstar for providing us this wonderful opportunity to be a part of something very special!
I thought it was great to see all the actors we see on t.v. on stage, there were some incredible singers, but most of all it was nice because they did it to help raise money for the people that was affected by the writers strike. It was a good cause!!
What a fun night! It was so amazing to see all of the very talented cast members of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" on stage singing and playing instruments. Not only are these television actors multi-talented, but they have huge hearts to put on this benefit to support the crews of their shows.
There were amazing musical performances by four-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald, and Tony Award winner Sara Ramirez, where they brought the roof down with their incredible vocals. T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson and Loretta Devine also delivered amazing performances. Paul Adelstein, Amy Brenneman, Tim Daly, and Chris Lowell from "Private Practice" did a great 4 piece musical and vocal performance with Paul on piano, Tim on electric guitar, Chris on harmonica and Amy on tambourine. There were also comedy skits and fan mail read by Ellen Pompeo, Katherine Heigel, Sandra Oh, T.R. Knight, Justin Chambers and Eric Dane. The Chief, James Pikens Jr. got into the act with a James Brown lipsinc and his wife, blues recording artist Gina Taylor-Pickens showed off her pipes as well.
All in all, this was a fun night where the cast of these two very popular shows gave back, not only to their crews, but also to their fans! Congrats to Shonda Rhimes for casting such an ecclectic, multi-talented cast. It's too bad that more networks and TV shows and artists don't give back to their audiences like the casts of these two very popular shows did on February 29.
I was THRILLED with our seats for this once-in-a-lifetime event. The songs were wonderful. I can't believe that there is so much musical talent among the casts of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice!
We had a good time. The level of talent was amazing.The seats weren't worth the price paid. While we were close, they were so far off to the left that our sight line was skewed. However, it was for a good cause.
Wow Sara's voice is out of this world!
Fantastic show. Sara Ramirez blew the roof off the place making the ticket well worth the price, so everything after that was gravy. Audra McDonald made me cry with her performance of "I Won't Mind," and the spirit all the actors brought to their segments was wonderful.
Excellent venue! Who knew Torres could sing like that! Loved the idea of the stars supporting their staff, I could feel the love! Great show!
This really was fun - a one-time experience in which the stars really seemed to be having a great time too. Many of us would loved to have heard more!
Good Medicine was a terrific show. Worth every penny spent on the ticket. The casts of these two shows are incredibly talented! If they ever do something like this again, it is definitely worth checking out!
Sara Ramirez, Audra McDonald and TR Knight were excellent. Practically everyone else just seemed like they showed up out of guilt, putting no effort into the performance. It seemed like a lot of the cast, Sandra Oh, Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chyler Leigh... just could have phoned it in, or looked like they would look more comfortable just to have written a check instead.
Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice casts put together a benefit for their crews. Singing, jamming, it was fantastic! Dr. Torres and Audra McDonald were amazing.
It was even better than I expected! Great job!!
Sara Ramirez is awesome... So is Audry McDonald...
Great seats and a very classy, exciting event.
Aside from the late start and the long intermission during which Hollywood schmoozed and which I didn't care for, the actors themselves were wonderful! All the skits were hilarious and even though I was disappointed when Taye Diggs spoke instead of sang, Sara Ramirez brought down the house and made the long drive and the hefty price worth every penny! Audra McDonald was amazing as usual but Sara got the only standing O during the entire night. The woman, is, a, GODDESS. Her voice is simply ridiculous!
amazing.
simply perfection.
sara audra loretta..
perfection.
eargasm!
Very entertaining!
A night of good fun for a good cause. Some outstanding singing by Sara Ramirez, Audra Macdonald and Gina Taylor-Pickens. Filler was uneven, and some of the actors looked uncomfortable saying their lines. Overall, though, kudos to T.R. Knight for giving fans a good time and raising money for the crews and writers.
Who knew that so many of these casts' members had such amazing pipes!? I expected a good show, but this was pretty fantastic. Sara Ramirez brought the house down.
Anything at Royce Hall at UCLA has been a fabulous experience. No seat is a bad one. Seeing all the actors/actresses in rare form was great!
We were so impressed by the talent. You can watch the television show and think how cute the actors are, but to see them perform live, sing, play a variety of instruments and mess up their lines so naturally was a real treat.
This event was awesome!!! I give it two thumbs up!!! The music was great. Sara Ramirez was undoubtly the star of the evening!!!!! Both casts were great! It was definetly worth it!
Fantastic!
Show was great! Venue and parking were a bit tricky, so missed the beginning. It was awesome to see the Grey's cast supporting their crew and displaying all their great talent.
I would highly recommend that ANYONE check out Sara Ramirez's website. Her performance that night was AMAZING!!!!
What an entertaining show. It surpassed our expectations. We agreed that should the cast members decided to put on a similar show next year, we would definitely attend.
This was really fun and the tickets were pretty good
It was a true testament to the talent of the actors who at the last minute put on a great show for their fans. It was a way for us to not only show our appreciation for the actors, but also for the crews that work on these shows.
Wish more industries, and businesses would show that kind of respect and appreciation for one another.
What an amazing evening! Who knew??? Not only was there great talent, but a spirit of love and energy that was contageous. It was wonderful to see this particular group of stars performing their hearts out. It made me feel a part of the wonderful effort on their behalf to show their appreciation for their crew. Many thanks for a great evening.
The show was terrific, but my seats sucked. I was really surprised how bad they were.
It was a lot of fun.
I thought the show was amazing. It was great to see the cast of 2 of my favorite shows performing "out of their element" for a good cause. Amazing vocal performances and lots of laughs from the non-singing cast members.
Only one complaint, why would you pay to go to a show like this and then spend the entire evening text messaging? The girl sitting next to me might be able to answer this question. It was annoying and distracting.
Good Medicine was so much fun! The cast really worked so hard to entertain the audience. We got the feeling that everyone was having a good time. Sara and TR Knight just wowed us. The voices were fabulous and it was a great event!
This was amazing. It should happen again.
It was really great to see actors raise funds for their respective show crews. Seeing the actors that we see on TV in a different spotlight was really cool and we enjoyed immensely. Also, Sara Ramirez has some AMAZING pipes, and she's kinda hot too.
I thought this was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of it and was really please to see the cast do this for their crew.
Ms. Ramierez performance of "Meadowlark" was breathtaking and she received a Standing Ovation right at the beginning of the show upon completion of her song. Amazing!
We forgot our binoculars, so part of the program I thought would be special would be seeing the performers up close and personal. In our balcony seats, they were neither.
Audra McDonald and Sara Ramirez were spectacular. The other singers very good. The filler with the non-singing actors was a bit lame. Apparently none of the striking writers saw a need to help out on the lines.
Unbelievable show, truly a once-in-a-lifetime event!
It was AWESOME ! The producers should definitely use it to promote both shows...Whoever was in the hall was made into a lifelong fan.
It was a very entertaining, seemingly off-the-cuff, evening. Both casts did a phenomenal job!
What a great evening! The event felt very intimate and very entertaining... The stars were funny, witty and having a good time as well. It felt like they had invited us into their living room. The banter re. the competitiveness between the shows was hilarious. The talent was amazing and the actors with lesser "tony award" talent... amazingly entertaining as well.
It was a really terrific show.
AMAZING!!!! I'll be telling my grandkids about this. For a super Grey's fan, this was pretty fantastic.
The event was better than I expected. We all loved it, and the seats were spectacular!
We really liked this show! It was great seeing the casts of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice singing and performing!
We had so much fun at this event!
It was a fun evening with some great talent, especially Sara Ramirez and Audra McDonald and it was for a v ery good cause
Very enjoyable and the seats were terrific!
Excellent show for a great cause. It was a good mix of comedy and showmanship. Sara Ramirez and Audra McDonald were AMAZING. I hope this does come out on DVD.
Really fun and entertaining.
I was amazed when I got to the event to learn that I had a front row seat! Sara Ramirez's performance was amazing and really touching and inspriring. The rest of the Grey's and Private Practice's casts were charming. I definitely would go to this event again if it were available in the future!
This was a really nice theater-going experience and I look forward to many others like it, if possible.
Great cuase, Great show, great eveing!
i was expecting a musical with a storyline but got a benefit concert with strange music that i didn't recognize. the jokes however were pretty funny and the celebs were great!
