Don't see it if Concert is shaped by visiting guest icon, your evening is left to the booker. Strings in rock music? Thrilling at times. Insipid slide show.
See it if You've never heard classical music and/or covers of classic rock anthems. You want 1 great singer-Chloe Lowery.
Don't see it if You're expecting a NY-caliber show: this is unworthy of Broadway + most music venues, open mics & showcases here. Skip it.

See it if you like loud rock music performed by some very talented singers (Chloe Lowery, Tony Vincent) & musicians.

Also I am not an opera fan and so I did not enjoy the pure operatic numbers... Read more Read less
See it if you want to experience a loud ROCK CONCERT in an iconic broadway theater. The dated PBS Special is cool, but it works a little better LIVE.
Don't see it if whining/complaining is how you live. The name SAYS it's a freaking ROCK CONCERT. Why go see it, then come in here & trash it, KNOWING this?
Also Tony Vincent LIVE is worth the price of admission.... Read more Read less

See it if you like mediocre renditions of rock/pop songs and cliched projections of sky, trees, pyramids, etc. or if you like Celtic Women fiddling.
Don't see it if you are expecting to be moved or excited by the performances. They are pretty flat, despite the gyrating taking place onstage. I'd skip it.

Don't see it if You can’t tolerate loud music, bright lights shining in your eyes, or having fellow audience members singing and dancing along.
See it if You're looking for great performers to deliver an interestingly crafted show. Concerts aren't really my thing, but the production was good!
Don't see it if You want any kind of story with your show or are looking for a show a little more concise and less long.
See it if you're a greatest hits kind of person, if you have a high threshold for tourist fodder ("Hey New York how are you feeling tonight?").
Don't see it if you really care about classical music or cringe when singer doesn't hit all the notes. Bunch of raw talent but misdirected.
