Reviews & Ratings
report as inappropriateI thought the whole event was Springsteen - I feel this was false advertising. I wouldn't have went otherwise. I am disappointed that I spent $90 because I was deceived. The dsncing is not really my thing but springsteen is.
report as inappropriateThe show was wonderful and the dancers very talented.... having front row seats was a nice plus!
report as inappropriateFour out of the six dance numbers were outstanding. The other two had lackluster movement with painful, way-too-loud noises instead of music. The performance could be greatly improved by simply eliminating those two numbers.
report as inappropriateThe best thing was a reconstruction of "Harmonica Breakdown." Our Goldstar tix were in the front row, which is not great for watching dance, but the show was not sold out and we were able to move back to great seats.
