Some orchestral affairs tend do be a bit on the stiff side, but the Glenn Miller Orchestra gracefully makes a light, enjoyable show that's fit for the whole family; it's interactive & animated: different singers & dancers grace the stage often and help keep the show –which was a bit over two hours– moving along at an animated pace. My wife's grandfather was very happy to sing & clap along songs that must have taken him back to his childhood.
There was a 20 minute break, which was more than enough time to get another beer, which they do let into the hall; while generally drinking at a theater is in itself the highlight of any production, the Glenn Miller Orchestra presents such a lively show that just listening to their choreographed renditions of big-band classics of yesteryear was in itself enough to celebrate a more cultural time, a time when playing instruments required skill and songs had more than four chords.
If I'm to levy any complaints, I'll have to mention that the piano was more piano than forte, and it was loss over the brass; I guess that this is inevitable, but a bit of a shame, to lose an instrument like this. Ah! And a second complaint: after all the hours I've spent with Trombone Champ, I must say I was quite surprised when I wasn't called to stage to do a solo– I can only sumirse there must have been a confusion. Maybe next time!
