David Copperfield - Underwhelming
by periwinklehoney on 2014-09-02Hollywood Theatre at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino - Las VegasRating: 3 out of 5Saw the David Copperfield show at the MGM Grand in August 2014 - needless to say, I was underwhelmed. David has changed his approach from the large-scale, Vegas-style illusions to smaller, more audience-based tricks.
While the show was OK to watch, David spoke very quickly which made it difficult for audience members to follow along when English was their second language.
Strangely enough, one of the staff came up to our group prior to the show starting and asked us to stand up and applaud when David completed a certain trick (apparently the trick was new and he wanted to garner positive attention) - definitely a weird request considering the calibre of the show I was expecting.
I wouldn't recommend this show to friends visiting Vegas - it was expensive and disappointing for the quality of the show provided.
