I saw the Mighty Cash Cats do a show at the Yuma Civic Center in Nov. They were outstanding. Michael J who plays Johnny Cash looks and sounds just like Johnny and I loved the Johnny and June duets he did with the girl in the band. It was a lot of fun and they rocked. The Yuma Civic was totally sold out. I would recommend this show highly. Collapse

The January Show is the BEST show of the year and set's the tone for the entire year. This show has the Biggest displays of any in the state...and with two entrances does a great job of getting people in. This show has great marketing to promote the show but also it delivers...as it has the best vendors and great selection of Home and Garden items. Also this show screens vendors with ROC, ensures they are as "friendly to the enviornment" as possible and that the vendors are highest quality available...at no other show will we see this same quality. As a consumer who wants to remodel or build a custom home his show is a great place to shop, research, gather information and actually speak to the top professionals in the industry. If you are interested in latest updates available...great place to shop. Stop by the Kinetico water booth and say hello to Jon. Collapse

"Las Vegas Show"
Review posted by: Michele Radford & Rene Erhard from Las Vegas, nv, Dec 30, 2008
I recently saw Wally's show in Vegas and he had the room laughing so hard it took an hour and ten minutes to do a 45 minute show. He is truly unique.

We have enjoyed and collected Dyana Hesson's paintings since 1997. What amazes me is that her work grows more powerful, deeper and richer with each season. She has a glorious vision and life affirming joy that blooms on each canvas. Dyana creates more than a painting - she captures a moment in time that draws us in, both soothing and enriching our souls. Collapse

"Not ready for opening night"
Review posted by: A view from chandler az, Dec 20, 2008
The show contains to many corny story lines to capture an audience. The cast was about two weeks from being ready to open.

We attended the Saturday 2pm performance. This was my 6yo’s third Nutcracker and the 3yo’s first. The 6yo missed the live orchestra (this company uses recorded music) and sets (they use backdrops). But the theater is easy to reach, parking is close and we saw some wonderful dancing. Aaron Gilbert as Herr Drosselmeyer captured the perfect mix of jubilance, courtly charm and mystery. Particularly fine were Scarlet Schreiner as Clara, Hunter Stephens as the Nutcracker, and dancing dolls Ed Kim, Hunter Stephens, and Emily Zhang. The mice, toy soldiers and Bon-Bons were just plain adorable. I love the part where the mice fall on their backs and wave their feet in the air! My feedback for theater go-ers: in the first 8 rows you’ll be really close to the speakers (loud). The sight-line for small folk is obscured by a 2ft high monitor on each side of the stage. Collapse

I thought that "Blithe Spirit" was a wonderful show. The show kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The cast was enjoyable especially the woman who played Elvira. The special effects also were a pleasure to watch. It was an enjoyable evening. If you are looking for a chilling comedy "Blithe Spirit" is the one to go to! Collapse
