San Diego Gay Men's Chorus

Talented men that knock your socks off! They put on the best show ever on Sunday afternoon. Best of all is their inspirational message that all people deserved to be treated with dignity. Even Kermit got into the act!

I was able to get a great seat First row and enjoy the performance by sitting next to the talented and charming Tim Dwyer, Steven Withers and RC Haus! It was great to get to chat with them and also Bree Morse(Miss. California) that was sitting in the next row with Mother and Sister. The singers, dancers, musicians and stage peeps did an awesome performance! I would highly recommend this event as they mentioned of another performance with the theme being dedicated to the music of the Late Michael Jackson. Thank you to all for a great performance and evening. Hugs, Patrick

"Greatest Hits--Volume One," the latest concert presented by the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus on April 18, 2015 was, simly, incredible! It was not just a classy and jazzy musical evening but a journey through gay history detailing the ups and downs of the LGBT experience via the lives of the chorus members of San Diego. It was an epic event featuring snappy songs, delightful dancing, informative real-life videos, clever comedic moments , tear-wrenching tragic turns and, even a drag queen ("dah" - thank RC for that comment!) The diverse musical performances ranged from rollicking rock & roll and eye & ear-popping popular classics to a powerful tavern cantata in Latin to whimsical song spoofs and goofs ably performed by the equally diverse SDGMC members! The over-whelmingly emotional evening ran the gamut from a song "One Voice" first sung by the SDGMC thirty years ago and featuring the only original chorus member remaining to a salute to same sex marriage with the anthem "Marry Me" with the spouses of the chorus members came onstage to join their partners there along with the married people in the audience standing in support! There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Bravo guys!

Very entertaining. Wonderful singing and dancing. Nice comedy routines in the second half. Beautiful venue, too.

This Play was like a combination of "Dancing With The Stars", "Glee", and the "Voice". Entertaining from the beginning to the end, and the Different Acts that went with the Gays Men's Chorus was worth every minute of your time. The show was a show within Its self, First of all their was the Chorus, Ensemble, & Dancers. Having the Girls on stage to sing and perform was also a BIG plus. I would See this Play again

We did not have any expectationgs and were pleasantly surprised with their performance. We were not expecting it to be that fine tuned and well orchestrated. We also enjoyed how they had some serious as well as funny momments throughout the concert.. We were also pleased with the director/conductor as he was ever so graceful, warm and elegant when reaching out to the audience.

Based on the title we expected more traditional Christmas music. The chorus was as good as it usually is and the second act was better than the first. The highlight of the performance for me was "Not in OurTown" which was very moving.

omg amazing!!!!! I laughed, I sang, I cried. The show was outstanding. I can not wait TIL the next one.

I cannot say I have ever seen a SDGMC show that didn't leave me looking forward to the next event. With the chorus' unbounded vocal talent coupled with highly entertaining choreography, and charming, humorous comments from the conductor, their productions hit every mark for a guaranteed delightful audience experience. Divas, in my opinion, was one of the best performances the chorus has presented. A+ from this fan.

Outstanding performance - stellar opening medley and truly wonderful soloists! The choreography was not as on point as past performances, but it did not detract from the fantastic singing and performance as a whole. Can't wait til Jingle!

The San Diego Gay Men's Chorus is unstoppable. Each show is better and better and "Diva's" didn't disappoint. We loved every minute of it and the chorus is truly a force to be reckoned with. Thanks for another amazing event! Simply put ... "WOW!" Looking forward to the holiday show!

As usual, performance was outstanding. I took a friend for her first-time experience with SDGMC.. My only complaint/criticism: The charming MC was 'way too loquatious! I kept wanting to shout: "Please shut up and let the men sing!"! Still, the SDGMC is my all-time favorite ebtertainment. I always try to take a friend who has never heard them before - everyone is enthralled. Thanks for being part of San Diego's charm! jeannine b. whitworth

The San Diego Gay Men's Chorus is on a roll. "Movie Night" was another great concert - professionally executed, excellent variety in the music selection, high-energy, some fun choreography, and very enjoyable. Some of the voices (solos) were just amazing. Outstanding close to the concert with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." They're on a level where I feel I get my money's worth! The only negative: I could do with the audience cat-calling out to friends in the choir or other inane shout-outs. Sorry, but it's immature and distracting. I come to enjoy and soak up the choir, not some audience members who try to make it about them. The director addressed this at the start of the concert, seemingly calling for the audience not to do that, and then seeming to endorse it. Confusing and it just seemed to exacerbate it. I'll stick with them; maybe the next audience will be better.

The San Diego Gay Men's Chorus has done it again. The presentation of "Movie Night" exceeded all expectations. Truly an emotional rollercoaster ride. Thank you for bring back so many childhood memories. I cannot wait until the next show.

These guys never disappoint! Whether it is the song selection, chorus as a whole, skits/dancers or the individual solos... they are always awesome! Thank you SDGMC for another thoroughly enjoyable show! Can't wait for the next one already!

I've never been to a concert before with FOUR standing ovations. All well deserved in a show that just kept getting better and better. My friend, a woman in her 70s, said she never wanted the show to end.

We have attended a number of concerts buy the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus. They all have been great. This one was no exception. The concerts are fun and the production values are first class. (And in case you are "worried" about going to a "Gay" event, we are a straight married couple in our 60s and love the SDGMC concerts!)

This was our first experience with the SDGMC. It will not be our last. We are bummed we cannot be here for ABBA but are already looking forward the the Christmas program. Mr Hous taught one of our grand daughter's in Elementary school choir. She loved him and we were so impressed. It is wonderful to see him in this element too. He was fabulous in bringing the entire show together smoothly and with great humor and love. These singers are wonderful. We loved every minute. You should run not walk to order tickets for ABBA in late July. I know it will be equally fabulous. The feeling in the theater was just wonderful. Loved every minute. THANK YOU SDGMC.

I loved the show so much that my partner and I made the 8 hours plus drive to see the show!!! Was great to reminisce about the great movie tunes of the past and some recent. I cried, laughed, and had a great time!!!.

Terrific, fun concert! But the parking voucher through ticketmaster didn't work.

The San Diego gay men s chorus blew the roof off of the Balboa theater with their holiday show jingle. It was everything we expected and so much more! We cannot wait to see what they come up with for the holiday season next year. The show is not to be missed!

Always fun and well done. You WILL laugh, cry and simply enjoy the songs of the season done to perfection by this amazing choral group. Make it a Holiday Tradition.

This show put everyone into the Holiday spirit. This should be a "must see" every year. Thank you SDMC for a great time.

The SD Gay Men's Chorus Concert was professional and entertaining with great variety, nearly 200 powerful voices, precision choreography, touching pieces and fun ones, and top-notch quality. It's a rare show when I can say it was worth every penny, but this one qualifies. We should be proud to have such an outstanding group representing our city and doing superb outreach. They have raised the bar, and I look forward to their next concert.

Outstanding performance by the chorus, musicians, conductor and performers! This has become the highlight of the season for me and the special friends I bring each year. Well done!

There was lots of positive energy in this concert, but the sound was not very professional, and too much dance distracted from the singing.

not very good show the music was not good the cast was not good .

Wonderful performance! It was my first SDGMC event.

Great show, took my granddaughters. We all thought it was great, they even sang along. We will most likely go to their holiday show.

Awesome show!!! Great singing and good choreography. Jingle will be just amazing..

I enjoyed the whole experience. The Chorus was so exuberant, talented and so professional! I would certainly recommend this to friends.

lots of fun and entertainment. These guys are the best gay mens choir in all of California.

SDGMC Broadway Now was an unforgettable experience. The singing was wonderful, the choreography was fun and the guest performers were a great addition. The afternoon was filled with happiness, amazing entertainment and a commitment to helping others . I can highly recommend the SDGMC as they are truly a professional organization. Two thumbs up!

This chorus does the FULL show - Music, dancing, laughter, fun. An amazing evening with a very amazing cast. LOVED it! I can't wait for the next show in July! Thank you San Fiego Gay Men's Chorus!

The San Diego Gay Men's Chorus is not to be missed. Such a talented group of guys and the show was amazing! Can't wait to see the next show in July!

Although I have been a huge supporter of various Gay Men's Chorus groups in the past, this was my first time seeing the SDGMC's and can proudly say it most definitely will not be the last. The musical selections were excellent and the fact they were accompanied by an extremely talented choreographed performances by cast members just knocked my socks off!! My hat goes off to everyone associated with the evenings performance and you can certainly count my support. Well done.

Truly one of the best performances money can buy! I highly recommend seeing any of their shows!

We have attended 4 concerts by the San Diego Gay Mens Chorus and they were all wonderful. You can be straight and go to these events. No problem. We took our two Millennial sons and their ladies this year and they had a great time.

This was my third year attending Jingle and I will plan to attend every year to come! Thank you SD Gay's Men Chorus- keep the music coming!!!

How did we miss this in prior years? Jingle, The San Diego Gay Men's Chorus Holiday show was two hours of great fun and wonderful music. Chorus members have beautiful voices and great spirit. We plan to make this an annual event and to catch the spring show of Broadway Now.

The choir is just splendid in every way. They are one of the best Men's choirs I have ever heard! The performance is so much more than music! It is entertaining from start to finish. It was a tough job but they incorporated all cultures and Christmas celebrations, much to the delight and humor of the audience.. The men are improving every time I see them in their acting and dancing - I think their success is fueling greater confidence! This was a perfect way to start the Christmas festivities.

The show was so good. The singing and the "skits" were so entertaining. The chorus is excellent.

Fun and entertaining holiday show. Balboa theater is a perfect venue for the show.

This is the third year I attended this fantastic performance! It was the best of all three years. The talent is unbelievable! The young dancer made me tear up. She was so talented!!! I laughed, I cried and left there really feeling the holiday spirit. I highly recommend it!

This is a must see show! I wish I had been coming for years prior, but I will for sure be back next year! You won't be disappointed!

This was the first time I've gone to one of their performances. I attended alone Saturday evening and was blown away by how entertaining it was. It was everything I had hoped it would be: laugh-out-loud humor with the PC Christmas song to the Silent Night performed in sign language which brought tears to my eyes...I could go on. I so enjoyed it that when I returned home, I immediately bought tickets for my spouse and I to see it the following day. RC Haus was tremendous, as were all the singers. Thank you, San Diego Gay Men's Chorus, for bringing such enjoyment to me and my spouse in a time when nationally it's challenging to find joy. Can't wait for next year's event!

Beautiful voices, great costumes, funny skits, good music!

Wildly entertaining! Fabulous singing! The most fun! We are going to make this a holiday tradition. The final number (this year performed by "lumberjacks") is the icing on the cake! :)

Very entertaining. I attend whenever my schedule allows. I just wish the audience "participation" would not be annoying at times. Other than that, very enjoyable.

We had a great time, such a fun show. Absolutely loved it!

It was so cute. I yelled, I cried, I did cry when they performed gone too soon :/ loved this concert.

First, I love the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus. They are a fellowship of singers who put a lot of hard work into what they do. They often represent the gay community in good times and bad. Thriller is the second show I have attended, the first being their holiday show Jingle. Both times, I came away feeling there was a lot of potential, but neither hit it out of the park. Thriller was a disjointed series of Michael Jackson songs, from various periods of his career interspersed with distracting dance numbers. The chorus shines when performing a ballad. Director RC Haus controls the chorus, which responds by singing in control and in tune. During ballads, the chorus listens to each other and really pays attention to the music. The up tunes, not so much. I found the same thing with Jingle. As hard as Haus tries, it seems the Chorus, on the up tunes, tends to go off on their own, which really distracts from the music. It was evident that the Chorus put a lot of work into this production, but, it would have benefitted with the addition of a savvy show director to bring it all together. Musically, Haus does a fine job, but the show needed a sense of continuity, a sharp eye on the dancing and a story. A critical eye would have polished this show, and will future shows. That all said, I recommend supporting the chorus and seeing their shows. They do a lot for the community, and have won awards for this work. They are all volunteers, work very hard and all have a lot of heart. Besides, with both shows, there were moments of absolute brilliance, which was a joy to experience.

This is one amazing and very fun show!! The SDGMC always goes out of their way to provide an entertaining performance that will make you laugh, cry and sing and dance! The best part is what this group does for the community so a bonus is by attending you are helping them help others! I am a huge fan and look forward to future shows!!

San Diego Gay Mens Chorus did a great job with the production of Michael Jackson songs. The singing, dancing, and the whole production was superb. It was indeed a "Thriller" to see.

The music was well selected and extremely well performed. The comic moments were delightful. The concert was an enjoyable evening and we look forward to many more.

It was our first time to hear and experience this event. My family loved it! Great variety of music and a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season.

My husband and I attended with our two children ages 10 and 12. The show was beautifully put together and was very family friendly. The chorus was fantastic and the Director RC Haus was a great entertainer! We would recommend this show to anyone whom wants to get into the holiday season and have a memorable and entertaining experience. I would suggest they do more shows next year.

A wonderful evening of music, humor and reflection.

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance this year. Less corny choreography and more quality music. RC is such a welcome director.

This was a fantastic show. I grew up with Choirs in church and really miss them. This was a great show filled with traditional music as well as fun variations of songs. The artistic director was a great personality that really made the show. This was my first time and will become an annual tradition for me and my family.

wow!!! never a disappointing moment from the sdgmc.

SDGMC never fails to be fantastic entertainment. Now looking forward to the holiday show in December.

These guys always give a delightful show: they are so very happy and confident and the joy is in watching them enjoy themselves so much. You just feel as though you are part of their family, cheering them on. They always find creative and clever ways to liven up the show - from choreography and costumes to props: fabulous showmanship! Musically: the arrangements in this show were lovely. The voices (solos) were not always strong and there was not as much evidence of true 4-part harmony as I personally would like, but there were also some very good musical moments, and the songs are engaging by themselves. Taken as a whole, it was definitely a show I appreciated and will remember!

The Beatles were great, but the Gay Men's Choir took their songs to an even higher level!

The purity of the voices, the variety of music, the acoustics of the Balboa Theatre all combined to make an unforgettable experience on Saturday night. The men really seemed to enjoy singing and feeling the music, which inspired the varied audience (as if it needed any inspiration)! The costume changes were fun.

I loved, loved, loved this show. How many times did I cry? At least three. We really enjoyed the singing, dancing...but especially the human factor--the emotional pull that separates a group like this from all others.

The Chorus has improved greatly under the new Artistic Director. He has a great sense of humor, yet is very professional. Although I think the choreography is overdone, I loved the performance.
