This was an AWESOME experience. Loved the show.
I hope my little vocal addition during the open jam was enjoyable to the crowd! I would LOVE be a part of the Underground Broadway experience on that stage as a featured performer in the future! :-)
This is a first class show with the best singing, dancing and joke telling in ny. It's a fast pace and very entertaining experience. The co-hosts are the best part of the show and they truly amaze. I give the show 5 stars
This event was amazing! The energy and the talent... and the open floor for audience members, made this event one you should NEVER miss!
Fabulously entertaining. Some of the most electrifying tap dancing I've ever seen by young energetic performers. Other dance performances highly unique. Very funny hosts. Great blackened catfish.
You got to be there to feel it!! This time I did girls nite out, ages 3 - 70, and everyone couldn't stop talking about it. Will be there to support Broadway Underground again, and again.
Once again, Jared and DeWitt put together another WONDERFUL show! Melanie Fontana (the opening vocalist, and singer of "When Love Came to Town" -- YOU ROCKED THE HOUSE!
Chester (with an E! - not an O) with his rendition of I Only have eyes for you -- terrific! Chris and Luke with their "mirroring" of the old movie dance score was unbelievable!
I will never be able to hear the song Kung Fu Fighting without picturing Jared with his fanny pack and DeWitt in his "pimped out" vest! (pressure points) :)
All of the dancing was out of this world!! We just LOVED IT! This was our third Broadway Underground show, and you can bet we'll be at the next!
This was our second time enjoying this super talented group of dancers and vocalists otherwise known as Broadway Underground. I didn't think anything could beat the first Bdwy. Underground show we saw last month, but THIS one WAS even BETTER! Wow!
Phenomenal show -- Jared and Dewitt have done it again! I am really excited about the next show! EVERY act was absolutely terrific, but I have to give a special shout out the opening vocalist, Melanie Fontana...WOW! And the skit with Jared and Dewitt with the Line Dancing was absolutely hilarious!..LOVED the reprise of L.O.V. E too! Can't get enough of that!
Anyhow..if you've never been..come to the next show!
Absolutely wonderful show....very fun, entertaining and refreshingly different !
Awesome. Great time...
It was unbelievable! I came to support my son who was the co-host, DeWitt Fleming. I really enjoyed myself and it was my first time going to B. B. King's. I thought the ambience at the theater was awesome. I will be back.
Broadway Underground had me bouncing to beat in my seat, laughing til I cried, and in total awe of this incredible show. The talent was unbelievable. I can't wait until the next time that they appear.
I totally enjoyed the show. They had audience participation. The people from the audience got up on the stage and presented whatever talent that they had bottled up within themselves. I just watched as they tapped dance. They tap dance so much that my feet was hurting just to watching. I had to hobble home granny style. But all and all it was a great show.
Fantastic! lively! funny! All the singers, dancers and musicians were top performers, especially singer Rojelio Douglas accompanied by the vocals of Tai Davis, Crystal Joy and another lovely young lady. The audience participation at the end of the show was great.
This was a joyous event. Once it started, it moved wondrously. You could tell by the smiles on the faces with eyes glued to the stage that everyone was loving the show, full of dancers and musicians.
DeWitt Fleming and Jared Grimes are wonderful story tellers, building on each other's words (did I tell you it was improv?) to a funny climax. Jared is one of the world's finest young tapdancers. They brought to the stage a marvelous array of dancers of many styles - do you know how many fine young unknown dancers are in this world? I loved the show! Especially the Jam at the end - open to All who were brave enough to dance on that hot hot stage!
Fabulous. Great open energy. Everyone on stage loved what they were doing and it showed. Inspired to take some tap dancing lessons. Skip the hyped "real" Broadway plays and go see Broadway Underground!
Excellent as always! Funny and continuously entertaining!
We enjoyed a wonderful show as usual. We keep coming back because the show is always fresh, exciting, and invigorating. It's not only entertaining, but good for the soul as well!
I love this show! I am definitely a groupie! I try never to miss a show and always try to bring someone new with me to share this entertaining experience! The talent you have in the show is amazing! I absolutely love the audience participation. This is a show you don't want to miss and bring your talent with you for the opportunity to show off at the end! I love Jared and Dewitt's humor - these are very charismatic and talented young men! Love it!!!
This show was so entertaining. I expected to see great talent but never expected the hosts interaction with the audience. During the entire show I was laughing and smiling and found there to be so much talent and fun. I knew it was going to be great when I heard the drummer on the buckets along with the entire musical group. Jared and DeWitt are fabulous dancers but if they didn't dance at all they would still be a great hit as the comedic hosts of the show. Chris (the apple of my eye) and Luke - BRAVO!!! The tap duet was phenomenal. I'm still smiling. Our entire group (young and old) enjoyed this. Can't wait to go back.
Excellent Tap, Singing, Comedy and Fun
An fun, hip variety show worth seeing!
The show was a wonderful variety of song, music, and dance. The hosts were funny and entertaining and kept you laughing uncontrollably. They cajole about life situations we can all relate to or have been in. I loved the diversity in the numbers and the willingness of the show to take chances to present acts that were unusual and different. The dancing and choreography was phenomenal, and the stage radiated with positive energy !! The hosts also took care of a heckler in the crowd with such taste, respect , and professionalism it was unbelievable. These two young men exemplify role models that any young person would look up to. I hope the show stays around a long time. This is great for anyone who wants to see a broadway calibre show without paying ridiculous broadway prices.
HATS OFF AND KUDO'S TO BROADWAY UNDERGROUND !!!!!!!!!!!
Great dancing, singing, music and jokes !!
I highly recommend this show. It was fun, interactive... great all-round! A must-see.
i must say that this is an inspiration that wud last for a long time, grimes is my number one idol here, i just got familier with his person and his talent these recent weeks, and im impressed to up over my ears. This was as much fun and intertanning for me as the once on stage. So much talent together, with so different backgrounds... im still smiling, and SOOOO going out buying dem tap shoes... sorry nabours.
U must see and experience this... its a must!!!
good fresh and professional!
Excellent collaboration of talent on this stage. Good, clean, family fun with a twist -- no act was stale or too contrived and the hosts, Jared Grimes and DeWitt Fleming, Jr. kept the laughs coming in between the musical and dance acts. Loved the entire show. 2 hours went by in a split second. Would definitely recommend to anyone who appreciates an evening filled with camaraderie, side-splitting laughter, brilliant music, and impeccable dance.
The show was a-MAZ- ing!!!! The energy of all performers was great! All around entertaining!
Each production of Broadway Underground is better and better. I've been to each one, and enjoyed them all. This one had music, dance (fantastic break & tap and an exquisite modern), song, jokes, a lot of fun between members of the cast - I just can't recommend it highly enough. I took a party of 10 - and each one wants to go again!
Jared and DeWitt are to be complimented!
One of the best shows I've seen in NYC! Original, hip and fresh. It had similar concepts of shows I've seen, but the delivery was original and all of the artists were real and incredibly talented! Simply AMAZING! I can't wait for the next show!
Broadway Underground is the best show in NYC! Everyone needs to experience the fantastic talent that is showcased each time!
I highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone! Amazing talent, humor, and music. This show is definitely one-of-a-kind.
This event is a must-see for dancers as well as non-dancers. Amazing!!!
It was really fun & entertaining. Jared & Dewitt were the hosts and super funny! They had musical groups, rap, dancing, comedy and even involved the audience which was great. Nice to see other people's talent! The young girl & boy were so cute! It is advisable to get there around 7pm to get decent choice of seating. We had no problem spending $10 per person minimum at the table after ordering an appetizer & 2 beers. The club itself is very nice. Would recommend to definitely check this out.
The evening was a flashback to what Broadway was and should have remained ...entertainment for all of the senses. BRAVO Broadway Underground...Thank you BB King's. Jo
Would highly recommend this awesome showcase of talent! Jared Grimes and DeWitt Fleming provided incredible dance moves and refreshingly funny commentaries on their lives and history, which showed their versatility as entertainers. The other dancers and musicians were also integral in giving the audience good, clean, family entertainment. It was great to see the history of tap presented and credited with what the dancers are doing today, in a number presented simultaneously with a historic film clip. So well done! The end was great when audience members came on stage to show their stuff. You can tell that the evening was motivating and inspirational to these audience members by how they rocked their few seconds of fame. More please!!!
Wonderful show!!! Wnent to support my brother who was performing and was blown away by all the acts. Definitely a show worth seeing -- not to be missed.
I truly enjoyed the entire event!
It has such a wonderful energy to it, and Jarrod's talent and joy is infectious!
I would highly recommend it, and would also recommend you bringing your tap shoes for the big jam session at the end!
awewsome, entertaining, talented, funny
I highly recommend this event!!!!
Fantastic Show! So much talent in one place! Singers, dancers and musicians were so great, definitely wanted to see more!
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!great performances;im a "struggling" artist but I definetely felt that my money was well spent and had no regrets afterwards
I answered all questions on the previous e-mail
I really liked the ambiance and our seats. The show was fast-paced, good music, likable performers, great dancers! The two longer comedy routines could have (should have) been shorter by half.
Great dancing!
The variety of this show was fun. The comedy sections really make you laugh, what a fun night out. The dancing and the music were good. The jam at the end (though long) was very fun. Go see this show, its a good one!
I take Jared's class every so often at BDC and I think he's a great tap dancer. I was entertained throughout the night. I enjoyed the food as well. I think it's a great bargain with great food.
Great show. Great laughs. Fun creative improve. It seems alive!
I was entertained, encouraged, and inspired by what I saw at Broadway Underground. Great energy and great collaboration by everyone on stage. I couldn't stop laughing, smiling, and grooving in my chair.
A great group of Highly talented people! A wonderful variety show!
Tap dancing is the best!!!!!!!! You should promote more tap events!!!!!
