Branford Marsalis Phoenix reviews
Riverdance 20 years
"The guys had a larger part than the gals and were just fantastic. So much energy from the entire cast. We were in the first row in the mezzanine, so the sound could have been better, but were mesmerized at the entire production. The 4 piece band kept the musical storyline flowing non stop from beginning to end Kudos to the drummer. If we could have, my wife & I would have gone to every performance. No amount of words can describe my total amazement and enjoyment of Branford Marsalis 20 years. From the opening number to the castcall...simply phenomenal. I think everyone should see this production at least once in their lives. We will never forget it."
