Pathway To His Promises

Wow, this was disappointment on several levels. First of all, did you even have someone handling the sound board? Between the feedback and the inability to hear most of the lyrics, it was inexcusable. As for the staging, well, you should have had an experienced cabaret director handling that. It was incredibly awkward and slowed the pace of the show. The happy exception was the choreography. Mr. Skinner and his fellow dancers were delightful and managed to use their limited space with great creativity. With regard to the singers, all I can say is the next time this show is done, you should have an Equity open call and use some kids that would be thrilled to have the opportunity to be involved in such a project. You could have one "name" performer and surround him/her with a cast that is eager to perform the material -- and could perform it a good deal better (sorry Ms. Gillette). I have to say, however, that I thought Catherine Russell was wonderful; she sounded great, and I could make out the lyrics whenever she sang. Also (if the show is done again), I think the series of more famous Porter songs that was presented in the middle of the performance should be shortened by half. They're are wonderful songs but they made the evening too long. Plus the point of the evening was to present the very early work of Cole Porter that had never been heard. I do want to praise Mr. Giordano and the musicians. It was a real treat to hear those original orchestrations -- and to hear them played so well. I kept thinking they deserved better in terms of who they were accompanying, save for Ms. Russell and the dancers. Sorry to be so harsh, but I would imagine I'm not the only one who has given you similar feedback.

Although it was called off after 3 songs due to lighning and tornado watch, what they did manage to do was awesome. They even stayed after leaving the stage long enough for some fan photos and autographs. Always a must see.

This event was held at Six Lounge, which is effectively a bar. I think this presented a barrier to a lot of people that felt because they were in a bar they needed to socialize with their friends rather than put on the headphones and listen to the music, because you can't do both. After being bored for a while of no one actually dancing, our group of 4 danced for about an hour in hopes of others joining in, but at best, I think some people started half-way listening to the headphones. We got bored with this, and ended up leaving...basically paid $20 to be in a bar. The headphones themselves were good quality, we didn't have any issues with them. The DJs were doing their best to put on some good music for people to listen to. I really liked being able to swap between the 2 channels.

Blood Red Shoes was not well served by a music system amped way too high. Hard to hear lyrics even standing at back of room. This group would have been well served by a little clarity from time to time. Seems like no adjustments were made from opening act's monotonous assault on our ear drums.

Nice, clean show with Masters of Jazz providing background music flawlessly and a good performance from the singer, performing classics that are dearly loved.

Vocals, lyrics are incredible. There aren't any words to put here what people would experience.

Blaze sang a great set list of around 17 songs which included even songs from his Wolfsbane days such as Manhunt. It was great to hear him sing The Clansman and The Brave. Very energetic performance. I was very happy when he said he would be giving autographs and taking pictures. The lead guitarist at the show Rick Plester was great and nailed the solos.

This was a beautiful performance by both the performers and the orchestra. I would recommend this to anyone. Bravo!!

Truly an amazing show! Did not disappoint. Not a bad song in the set.

Love the venue. A Silent Film was absolutley amazing. Ive seen them quite a few times now and each gig is more amazing than the previous one. You can feel how much they love performing as they are on stage. No words can really explain how memorable they are.
