What did our critic think of THE BAND'S VISIT at The Kennedy Center?

'Do yourself a favor, DO NOT miss this incredibly sobering production.' says BWW's critic.

Now playing the Fisher Theatre through May 1st, recent Tony Award darling The Band's Visit is a musical with a lot of heart and a deeply ingrained mission to unify cultures, rather than divide. The genius of The Band's Visit lies not in flashy musical numbers or costumes, but in the honest (and modest) storytelling.

Read all the reviews for FUNNY GIRL on Broadway. The show stars Beanie Feldstein as Fanny Brice, Ramin Karimloo as Nick Arnstein, Jared Grimes as Eddie Ryan and Jane Lynch as Mrs. Rose Brice. See what all the critics had to say!

If you are looking for a show that will move you, inspire you, and make you believe in the power of kindness, then this is the show for you.

Even without dazzling special effects and spectacular theatrics, or histrionic high drama, THE BAND'S VISIT---the Tony Award-winning stage musical now on stage at Orange County's Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through April 3---still provides a powerful show that is quietly poetic in its precious, slow-burning delivery.

Stage fright made life difficult for many artists, even the best virtuosos were not free from it, it also destroyed many great talents. Kenneth MacMillan began his ballet career as a dancer at Sadler's Wells Ballet in London, where he was predicted a bright future, but stage fright cut his wings. He gave up dancing and a great choreographer was born, the creator of 10 full-length ballets and over 50 one-act plays with original choreography.
