60 The Band's Visit - National Tour Reviews
report as inappropriateA happy play that will make you feel better and learn more about assumed conflicts between "mortal enemies."
report as inappropriateIt was unusual, but fun. People may have had an issue with languages. On another note, I use a walker and the theater took great care of meeting my needs. Usher made sure I could get to my seat, stowed the walker, and returned it to me at the...continued
report as inappropriateEnjoyed the acting & original story
report as inappropriateIt was quite enjoyable. Light comedy, nice songs, and a good flow to the plot. Recommend for a nice evening at KC.
report as inappropriateWonderful show. Quiet, unassuming, and almost slow at start; builds up to an ensemble number at end that is not to be missed. Plus, the band plays after the curtain call! It’s over 1.5 hours long with no intermission; I felt so sorry for the folks...continued
report as inappropriateThe Band’s Visit is a wonderful show telling a great story. It is very funny when it intends to be but also has some wonderfully reflective moments. I highly recommend it to everyone. The Kennedy Center is one of the finest venues I’ve been to,...continued
report as inappropriateWhat a beautiful show-it oozed with atmosphere and some of the music was hauntingly beautiful. I had no expectations of it and walked away LOVING it.
report as inappropriateI liked the premise of the story, but it was low energy play and I didn't like the affected accents.
report as inappropriateThis play was a bit disappointing. It was hard to hear some of the dialogue. Perhaps the acoustics in the balcony.
The theater was very cold due to overuse of air conditioning. Be sure to bring a sweater. There is no intermission. Be sure to go...continued
report as inappropriateLoved the performance! The music, lyrics, and set changes were awesome!
report as inappropriateI really enjoyed the show and thought they did a great job! The actors were very talented with great voices-thanks for bringing this quality cast to DC!!
report as inappropriateCreatively staged. Excellent Arabic music. Great cast. Important message about how to settle conflict between cultures and groups at odds with each other. Go and see this gem before it's too late.
report as inappropriateAbsolutely amazing show. You will not be disappointed. And thank goodness it is in the Eisenhower Theater. It is too intimate for the larger venue.
report as inappropriateEven though we had orchestra seats, it was very hard for my girlfriend and I to understand the spoken words and song lyrics because the Israeli and Arabic accents were very strong and, at times, indecipherable. Other than that, I would have given...continued
report as inappropriateI was in row X in the orchestra and the acoustics were not very good. I could hardly understand any of the lyrics,which surprised me. Nonetheless I was charmed by the characters, the music and the message. That said, I would love to see it again...continued
report as inappropriateThere was very little plot. Struggled to stay awake. Dialog was slow. Don’t understand at all how it won a Tony.
report as inappropriateThe play was excellent I tried to see this play on Broadway and it was sold out when I was there so I was real happy when it came to Atlanta. But I only gave it four stars as a post to five because of the seating . don’t buy your tickets from...continued
report as inappropriateIt was a bright little show. No show stoppers just one moving vignette after another. The story is so well constructed and the music and book are both well crafted. I little gem. No wonder the Tony voters loved it.
report as inappropriateFantastic productions. Great cast.
Wonderful music and musicians!
