Stuart McLean Tickets

I've seen several Vinyl Café performances, and this was not up to Stuart's usual standard. I'm sure he recognized that only one of his three stories was warmly received, -- the other two were not terribly funny or imaginative. Maybe the fun has gone out of it for Stuart, -- it seemed like that. The musical group was a bit too modern for the demographic, and the sound system for the musical group muffled their words to the extent that one could really not understand the words. One part of Stuart's show that is always clever, anxiously awaited, and warmly received is his description of local places and events in each town he visits. Apparently he pulled into Ann Arbor too late to make that contribution. Apart from one single reference to Zingerman's, he made no mention whatever of anything in Ann Arbor except that it made him feel like being a student again. Why, Stuart? You let us down here. You owe it to your audience to make warm and appreciative comments about their town, -- as if you really enjoyed the town and your experience there. We got the impression that this was a sort of "breeze in, breeze out" experience for you. Why not talk about Ann Arbor, -- what it means to you, why you came here, etc.? The ticket costs, coupled with an unfriendly Canadian dollar, made this concert very expensive for Canadians. Stuart never asked how many in the audience were Canadian, but I'm sure there were many, like us, who had traveled from Canada and who paid a high price to be there. Overall, it was a disappointment.

I froze sitting in the floor seats! and I couldn't see.

Having just returned from this "show" I am so very disappointed with how little there was to enjoy:( Stuart did let the audience know that he would have 2 new stories to share But did not clarify that they would be the Only 2 stories for the entire show!! What was up with that !?! Did he not bring any more material? I'm sure some of the audience members could have easily helped him out with that! My friend who was with me has seen him in P.G. twice before and was even more disappointed as she thought she knew what to expect! Too bad that the recording of this event took precedence over the quality and lack of quantity.... At $60.00+ a ticket it was not worth it. I believe a full refund would be more than fair to compensate for the time lost, gas wasted and emotional distressed caused. In the future, If I I want to hear a story from him.... I'll just turn on my radio....

What a super preformance, and well done show. Would go again. What a storyteller. Thanks for coming to Prince George

A wonderful and thoughtful opening celebration of Prince George and our history followed by great regional/local musical guests and Stuart's great stories and audience interaction. Looking forward very much to hearing it on the radio in May!

It was a real treat to finally see my bedtime story teller in person. I have been a fan for years and introduced this secret man in my life to my husband. We smiled and laughed, a few times till the ribs hurt! It was great to be introduced to a new (for us) amazing musician. Bonus indeed.

Stuart Mclean was animated, gracious in his presentation of Dave & Morley's snippets of life in a 'visual' way. His interactions with the audience (us) was in the moment and real. Very enjoyable evening Thank you!

Great and the music was great !!!!!! I would go again in A second to the Arden theatre what a great Venue

Great evening out. Harry Manx was worth the ticket alone. Will definitely see Stuart Mclean again and Harry Manx.

We have been to several Stuart Mclean shows at Edmonton's Jubilee Theater over the years, mostly his Christmas concerts, but this show at St. Albert's Arden Theater was truly our favorite. The smaller, more intimate venue made for a much more relaxed performance, where the audience really seemed to "get into" the show. The interaction between Stuart, his musical guest and musicians and the audience was one of great fun. We will definitely go to see him again, preferably at a smaller venue like this.
