Second time I have seen them and they are just a lot of fun and super enjoyable. With an unlimited repertoire and different singers it was a different experience but still excellent. Go see em!
Band was tight but missing strings. Singer has pipes but missed a few notes. Dancer was ahead and behind and lower energy. Timing and pacing was a little scattered. Sound mix was unintelligible in the 8000 hertz range (too much hi-pass?) All things that will further refine as you go. Good show for early in the tour.
Very entertaining, but too loud. Musicians were very good.
The music was excellent. The performers were amazing. The direction was excellent at managing the energy and flow of the show, creating a consistently engaging performance.
For 1st row seats 15 & 16 we could not see the tap dancer’s feet when dancing. Would have to look at the screens to watch him dance. Could not make out the words of most of the songs the singers were singing! Great seats if you just wanted to see the person filming the event and the piano player!
This amazing group of talent did not just display amazing musical talent, larger than life vocals and brilliant reworks of popular hits. This was showmanship at its finest. I was blown away beyond my best expectations!
Awesome evening! Would go again in an instant- and it would be a completely different show! World class performance
So much fun to once again see a live performance, amazing talent.
I was blown away by the talented singers, dancers and musicians in this unforgettable show. I will try to describe it, but I will not do it justice. Sultry singers, glamorous dresses and suits, wild trombone and trumpet music, cool tap dancing…I could go on and on. I especially loved the host -he’s got such a powerful voice! I highly recommend this show.
What an incredible show of talent! Greatly enjoyed the show! Only downside was the venue and their rules/prices.
The show was an all around great experience. The musicianship, vocal talent and energy of the cast was awesome. They got the crowd involved and encouraged participation. This was our first concert since 2019 and it was a great way to re enter the world of live entertainment
Various artists that work so well together. Good set and great performance overall
The talent was abundant and the audience seemed to revel in it! We had a great time sharing music with our 9 year old son.
This is my 3d visit ti PMJ concert and the most disappointed. Bottom line - when you go to the specific show you expect to see artists you know and want to see. This time Toronto didn't see anybody from the main squad and haven't heard songs we want to enjoy. Yes, it was under PMJ label and Scott Bradly explained on the website that there is unknown who will perform in what city, but for me, as a spectator, it was very disappointing. I wanted to see their famous performers, see my favorite artists and listen to my favorite songs. This experience was like you bought the ticket to watch Maple Leafs game and instead you attended Marlies. Technically it's a hockey, it's Toronto team and it's the same ACC arena, but... feel the difference.
I'm a relatively new fan of PMJ, but it's safe to say that since I discovered them through a friend I've been obsessed. I wasn't able to attend their first Toronto performance so I jumped at the chance to see them this time around. This critique is in no way a statement on the singers' immense talent. The 3 female singers are phenomenal! LaVance was fantastic. I did not expect to see constantine maroulis. I know pmj seems to house a lot of former american idol talent but he brings a washed up sleezy feeling to the show. I was expecting a variety of singers and it ended up being a heavy rotation of the 3 ladies with the 2 men and a really random single tap dance act sporadically joining here and there. The show started at 8:15 and after barely an hour and a bit they were doing their bows. Yes they came out for 3 more encore songs, but it all ended early. Overall it felt like the show was a quick money grab as opposed to the exciting show that I was looking forward to experiencing, based on how the previous tour was advertised. Bottom line, good performance, and good times but not a great overall experience. I'm still a fan, but I'll be enjoying them through spotify and youtube instead.
Brilliant! Highly recommended and will definitely do it again!
A truly entertaining evening put on by some great performers. We are already waiting for the next time they visit.
Yuck - made a big mistake on this show. Took a chance - didn't know much about them - bad move. Was expecting jazz arrangements of 'newer' contemporary songs. Got a semblance of big band generic sound with overbearing drums, tunes that were no where near swing or jazz....singers who were intent at belting it out as loud as they could (no phrasing/minimum shading) and trying to outdo each other with voice 'tricks' - how loud and high they could shout out a note etc. Oh yeah, and then there was a ..tap dancer! What? It was a bad cover band with karaoke stars. Wanted to leave, waited for intermission - No! intermission - no escape. The vibe was weird. I never saw 'Up With People, but the word on them was that it had sort of a cult-ish fan base. That seemed to be the case here - you were either sucked in by ....not sure what... or, not. Ya, others seemed over the moon to hear bad arrangements of contemporary songs sung by unknowns with big lungs. I wasn't.
If you're hoping to see Haley Reinhart or any of the other great singers from the PMJ records, this live tour is not for you. If you're hoping to hear the same musicians, also not for you. If you think Scott Bradlee himself is part of the show...again, not for you. This appears to be a franchised touring show with (mostly) adequate professional musicians and singers, but not the ones you've heard on record. Worse yet, if you've enjoyed the recordings for their tasteful, wry reworkings of contemporary pop and rock songs into big band ballads and torch songs, this show is not for you. In studio, PMJ can take a song like Seven Nation Army or Black Hole Sun...find the melody at the heart of it...and breathe either new life or irony into it with a real singer's interpretation in a wartime era jazz arrangement. This live show takes mostly contemporary pop songs that were already bombastic (but also some hoary cliches like "Tomorrow" from Annie!), and just distorts them into a different form of bombast. Four of the five singers have big voices...but all five never take a break from being big. The endless competition to sing louder and higher than each other only let up when the primary male singer---apparently a former Tony nominee who's "taking a break from Broadway"---dragged it down to an unintentionally comical level with an embarrassing parody of a self-absorbed wedding singer. Rather than giving Dream On's weary lyrics an authentic, mature voice, he tried to out-shriek even Steven Tyler's original, and beat the poor song to death, while mugging to what he thought was an adoring crowd. "Let's hear from the single ladies!" Despite occasional flashes of musical competence, the overall experience was cringe-worthy and annoying in the extreme. Please don't waste your money or time. #pmjtour
Would very highly recommend and pay twice the ticket price if I had to.
