Went to the show on Monday, the 29th. Hate me if you will, but as much as I looked forward to it and wanted it to be great, I was pretty disappointed. It's probably just me, but I thought it was a somewhat cheesy version of past shows. I realize they can't have every show at a great old castle location with a full orchestra all the time, but it just didn't do anything for me. The set background was horrible. The music drowned them out several times. They only did 5 maybe 6 songs after the intermission. They had smoke wafting around almost the whole concert. Everything seemed like it was canned and there was no excitement generated. The song selections weren't what I'd hoped for, as I like most of the old songs they have done over the years. They only did a couple of their old staples, but not the ones I had hoped to hear. How do you do a show without doing "The Voice", "Nil Sen La" and many others? Maybe I was expecting too much this time, but I walked away feeling empty.
I really hate to complain about it, but in my view, it just wasn't up to the Celtic Woman standard we've come to expect over the years.
