Goldstar Member Reviews

Judy

A wonderful experience
Brilliant performances by Lynn and Miguel
Incredible acoustics.
Boston Court needs more publicity so that more people learn about and have an opportunity to enjoy this experience.
Free and easy parking.
Without Goldstar we would have found it too pricey. Not to imply it wasn't worth the price, just that the price shuts out many people who would likely attend if they knew about it and the tickets were more affordable.
The staff was friendly and very accommodating
