An evening of pure delight. Pink Martini are a wonderful group. I haven't enjoyed myself so much for a long time
Great show as usual, although a slow start this time.
Pink Martini never disappoints. Show was awesome with some great interactions with the public. Thomas Lauderdale is always dynamic and funny. If they come to town, you should go see it.
Excellent show. Great music, awesome musicians. It is clear that they had the crowd at “hello”.
The music was sublime. China Forbes was excellent as ever; the trombone player was other-worldly; the band tight; excellent and tasteful musicianship throughout. The sound was a bit disappointing; the mix was off and voice too loud. Could be due to seat in mezzanine under overhang, or poor sound people. The piano player was annoying, trying to be clever and saying nothing.
A must see - this is our third time experiencing these amazing entertainers - if you have a bucket list you must include this true adventure. Thank you everyone and quick recovery with the injuries!!
The best show I have been to in 20 years at least - everyone of them is an amazing performer and China Forbes was a mesmerizing singer.
Thomas's attempt at speaking French was so tedious and boring I regretted spending the money. Although very talented, there wasn't much show to speak of. Seems they need to take a long hiatus.
The band itself was very good. The host was funny at times. He tried to speak french and should have left it at a few jabs. The fact that he carried that through the entire performance got long and finally annoying. We couldnt understand half of what he was saying and we are french. It was a tad disappointing and the price of the tickets seem high for what we got. China has a nice voice. There were a few fun things about it.
Pink Martini gives a stellar performance that is light and crowd-pleasing. All of the eleven musicians are accomplished and they were tight as a unit, but remained loose and playful. You can tell that these musicians really enjoy playing with each other.
Let China Forbes sing, stop talking so much and don't belittle the band with the promo of CD and such. Sing, play and be lively
We use to love this group very much . We have been to 2 previous concerts . They lost their mojo, energy , lack of new songs. The same old , the same old .
Pink Martini always delivers! good music and lots of fun; i love them!
Pink Martini is so fresh and full of energy. Always makes me want to dance. Love the fact that they sing songs in so many languages.
Fabulous show!! Great interaction with the audience. O Canada impromptu thing was soooo cooool.
We saw Pink Martini for the 4th time at the Chateau Ste. Michelle. With the absence of China Forbes and her replacement by Storm Large we still enjoyed the concert. We noticed that there was alot more focus on more of the individual band members. We thought this was great and really spotlighted their talent. We think that Storm did a good job as a stand-in , but we are anxiously waiting for the return of the wonderful China Forbes. We love you China!!!! Get well soon.!!!!
I was expecting good music and a great singer but Pink Martini was above all my expectations. The singer has a fantastic voice and easily sings in so many languages, she looks good and has a great style. The musicians are so talented I could not even begin to describe the music they are able to play....the sound of music raising up slowly to a fantastic melody with gives you goosebumps.
Another stellar performance by one of the most musically talented bands ever! China Forbes mezmorized us for the entire evening, it was my girlfriend's retirement gift from her workmates and we had a wonderful time. Truly the entertainment was worth driving down from Vancouver, Canada for the evening. We'll be back for their next performance.
An absolutely superb show, enjoyed it tremendously and hope to see them again .....................overall rating should be 4 plus!
Pink Martini took the Vancouver audience on a wonderful musical adventure from opera to big band to Latin. This group is so versatile and talented that it succeeded in captivating the audience. China Forbes, lead singer has a wonderfully versatile voice and impressed the audience with her ability to sing in a variety of languages and styles. This group is hot!
