EXCELLENT SHOW

The wife and I loved this show. Diana with a world class band...what's not to love? We did hear some hardcore fans complaining in the lobby, although most of it was "...didn't sing my favorite song(s), so this wasn't good...." Lighting, staging, and performance...all top notch. My biggest complaint was the idiot (and wife) who decided to fire up a phablet during one song, and talk out loud about whatever was on the screen. An usher finally had them cease and desist, but they ruined nearly the entire song for everyone near them.

THIS GIRL CAN PLAY!!

Our first time seeing Diana Krall. was a little disappointed at first when only 4 other musicians came out with her but they proved me wrong with performance, especially Anthony Wilson the guitar player who played 4 or 5 different guitars. Diana is an amazing piano player!!. I had a perfect view to watch her fingers move along the keys like a hot knife thru butter. In a couple of the slow low key songs, you could hear a pin drop, which was awesome considering the amount of wine drinking lawn patrons. Oh, did I mention the violin player?......WOW! LOVED the whole show but would have liked a couple more up beat tunes. Still love you Diana!

THE BAND

My wife and I came to listen Diane Krall sing, what we got was the Band; was the featured act! The band was great! We enjoyed non the less but really wanted to hear Diane sing more!

GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ALL

Diana was wonderful as were all the musicians and the symphony. If anyone knows the name of the violinist that played with Diana please share, his playing was an unexpected and very welcome surprise. I would like to see more of him.

CONFUSED

The performing arts is largely based on audience expectations. We saw the performance last evening and I was a bit confused as to Diana Krall's interactions with the audience. Was she shy or "out of it" or just an extremely talented musician into her creative sphere? The music was more improvisational jazz than what I and seemingly most people were expecting. But as Joni Mitchell famously said they didn't ask Van Gogh to paint Starry Night over and over again. Perhaps it should be advertised more by her as an evening of improvisational jazz with her trio based on standards that she has recorded to alert audiences where to set their expectations. Overall a wonderful evening of jazz.

KRALL NOT ENGAGED IN THE PERFORMANCE

My wife and I have been fans of Diana Krall sine 2000 love to listen to her sing; however, this past concert in Sugar Land was very disappointing. She was not engaged and let the band carry her. I bought tickets to listen to her not her bands jam session.

LET DOWN

I love Diana's albums. I did not like the live concert. Here band played a lot and she let them jam, which was good. I wanted more of her. Plus the sound was not good. At first I thought it was just me, but my wife thought the same thing and I hear others around me say the same thing as we were leaving. Love the old theater but the sound system was not good.
