ibexpercussion Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Favorite 2010- Houdini show was fantastic!!! Least 2017- The arrangements just didn't do it for me. 1 Quote
PRphan72 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 FAVORITES: 2010 - Houdini (these top 2 are very close for me, but 2010 was more intense & performed better) 2009 - The Factory (but this show was much more emotional and really pulls you in) (big gap) 2008 - Le Tour 2016 - Le Reve 2012 - The Blue World LEAST FAVORITE: 2017 - Star Crossed (incredibly uneven, started off great with R&J, the Gatsby section was ok but nothing special, but the Moulin Rouge section was an abomination - I've never seen a show start so strongly and then just go downhill the entire time to an absolutely horrifying mess of an ending) Quote

Also, I had a hard time with the Gatsby section, as I would have liked to hear some early 20th century jazz in that section of the show. Quote
