I attended this show last year, and I wa bored 100% of the time. It lasts three hours and there is not set change and the costumes are faded and worn down to a thread. The dancing is good at first, but then every dance is the same. The show clocks in at 3 hours whic makes it painful for the audience. If you are a huge dance fan, then maybe this show is for you, but if not, don't bother. Collapse

"A movie, made right then!"
Review posted by: Anthony from Tempe, AZ, Dec 05, 2006
It was pretty neat. They took stuff from us (well, we GAVE them stuff), then they used our stuff and made movies, and then we watched them right then.

By no means am I an expert in Tennessee Williams' literature but having seen and read some of his plays I have to say that these guys did a wonderful job of bringing it to life. With acting and execution like this who needs to read anymore. I'll just wait for their enactments of the plays ;). Not really! But definitely worth your time. Collapse

These young artists have worked very hard, putting on a triple threat show. Parents and kids can enjoy this. They brought the art of dance to a complete stop and introducing a wonderful experience. I give it a three thumbs up! Collapse

From Renaissance to Gospel, this group offers a variety, but it is all excellently prepared and artfully performed. I hear they've been invited to sing at Mass at both St Peters in Rome and St Marks in Venice this summer. These guys are top notch and a great value for your art entertainment dollar. I'm a big fan. You should give them a try. You'll be a fan too! Collapse

"A Somber Christie"

Friday, 12/1/2006. One word: “Somber.” In other words: “This ain’t no Boston Pops Christmas.” No Leroy Anderson tunes. No Sleigh Ride. No sing-alongs. No Santa! While I wouldn’t agree completely with Presto the Cat’s characterization as “dull,” both the orchestra and Phoenix Symphony Chorus could have exhibited more “shine” and energy. From the balcony, the Phoenix Girls Chorus and the solo violin were virtually inaudible. The Hallelujah Chorus was dangerously out of synch. In a Pops concert taken so seriously, these flaws were inexcusable. On the other hand, I was extremely impressed with the Maestro’s innovative concept of a holiday concert. We were exposed to excerpts from some classical masterpieces by Beethoven and Poulenc. Traditional carols were presented in rare arrangements that kept our attention. The Thompson Alleluia was magical in its pacing and buildup. Too bad the audience broke out into applause prematurely. It would have been interesting to hear the entire program without pause as you suggested in your introduction. A true Christie Christmas Mass/Fantasia. Collapse

This is a fun way to examine the frustrations of the Christmas Season through the eyes of very familiar characters with very unfamiliar perspectives.... for them. Not for us. Very entertaining and if you are not familiar with the Southwest Shakespeare Company, now is a great time! They are a group that puts their heart and soul into their performances.. and it shows. Don't miss any of their works. It doesn't get any better. Kudos to the SWSC! Collapse

With so many unknowns out there, this one is worth checking out. It's rare to find something that is clean, funny, nostalgic, and sophisticated that appeals to a broad age range. The music is fantastic and I am so impressed with the variety packed into every show. I walk away wishing everyone had the opportunity to see it. It's a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. I love the Blind Ranger. Brian Nissen and the rest of the Citrus Valley Players have a lot of talent. I recommend this show to anyone looking to see something fresh and entertaining. Collapse
