The Supper/Concert Club Sunday December 2nd at 4:00PM - The Rockettes





































We love watching this show every Christmas. It's got everything from the fabulous Radio City Rockettes to a live Nativity sequence and one of the best Santas around. 

I can see why people go all the way to New York City to see this show. 

The music is great, wonderful costumes, singing and choreography, all in the fantastic Radio City Music Hall. The video direction is excellent, with carefully thought out camera moves  
and angles that enhance the experience. 

The music is well recorded and has a great surround sound balance, so make sure you turn on the home theater speakers. 

This production is so well done, we want to go to New York next year and see it in person!!

The Movie Group March 22nd 2018 at 1PM Shakespeare In Love


































A neat movie, a great story, lots of laughs, a total transport to a time far removed, and terrific acting by a handful of first rate people. This is a movie I put on when I need to get away for awhile. It immediately draws me into Shakespeare's world and keeps me there, laughing and empathizing, for the duration. Working the lines of Romeo and Juliet into the dialog is tremendous. The final performance of the play, as we know that the protagonist is about to be carried off to America much against her will, is absolutely wonderful. The brief appearance of Judy Dench as Queen Elizabeth puts the final touch on the whole thing. Apart from the wonderful work of the actors (and what a host it is!) there is historical accuracy that is remarkable. This could have been a paste up of any "old timey" scenery. It was, in fact, extremely accurately done from start to finish. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, sometimes sad, but always engaging...Just what movies are for!!

Fun Group Thursday May 17th 2018 at 1:00PM The Magic of Belle Island




































What a great family film. Mr. Freeman, is of course 
superior as usual. Virginia Madsen shines as a 
divorced mother of three, coping with the daily 
struggles of raising three girls and a distant and 
seemingly not caring ex-husband. In these days 
of CGI and special effects, this film doesn't need any 
of that, a true wholesome portrayal of real people.

Directed by Rob Reiner......how could you go wrong?

Doo Wop Ledgends







































Highly, tremendously impressed with the Doo-Wop Ledgends. 
I played it for some veterans where I volunteer, they and staff loved it. 

I was very impressed with the DVD Performances and the excellent
condition and quality of the DVD. 

The Dvd was so well put together It put out magnificent sound, 
perfornance over and over again. 

I really enjoyed the show. The Marcels were my favorite act - I reversed 
several times 2 hear Blue Moon again and again. 

My only disappointment - the show was too short. I expected the show 
to last at least two (2) hours. 


Fun Night Monday Novermer13th at 6:00PM - Concert Frank Sinatra






















This review is from: 
Frank Sinatra: Concert for the Americas (DVD)
Frank was a little past his prime when this live concert was performed, 
but he was in terrific form in this early 80s show. His bluesy rendition 
of "Come Rain or Shine" takes Don Costa's great chart and makes it 
grittier, sans the massive string section. 

"Best Is Yet to Come" is as solid a rendition of the Cy Coleman song 
as I've ever seen or heard. "I Won't Dance" swings, and Franks's 
drummer Irv Cottler places the perfect, powerful accents to kick Sinatra 
higher. 

Speaking of Cottler, you won't see Buddy Rich behind Sinatra, but that's 
fine. Cottler knew every nook and cranny of Sinatra's rhythmic phrasing 
and knew how to fire up his boss. It's Buddy's band, augmented by french 
horns and virtuoso Tony Mottola, along with a couple of other Sinatra 
regulars. 

There is a break in which Buddy comes out and does his classic 
"West Side Story", with a typically explosive drum solo. I have a friend 
who attended this concert in the Dominican Republic who told me Buddy 
collapsed after his performance from the stifling heat & humidity. 

You'll note he didn't even wear a hairpiece...somehow, Sinatra looked 
comfortable.

No, it's not HD, the audio is okay but not up to the best technologies of 
today...but this is one of the best Sinatra live concerts you'll find. 
It's Wonderful.

Frankie Valli Live from Atlantic City at 7:00pm

Dancing and Outdoor TV (Weather permitting). 























































Editorial Review:

One of the most outstandingly successful groups in pop history, 
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons were always known for their 
extraordinary live performances. This live concert was filmed in 
Atlantic City during their 1992 US tour. 
Including many of their most popular and widely acclaimed hits, 
the program is a fitting tribute to a remarkable group. Inducted into 
both the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of 
Fame, Frankie Valli has scored 39 Top 40 hits in the course of his 
illustrious career.
In 2005, the Broadway musical Jersey Boys opened on the 
'Great White Way'. Besides performances of many of Frankie Valli 
and The Four Seasons hit recordings, the musical features a 
biographical narrative, told as four separate points of view by each 
of the members of The Four Seasons (Tommy DeVito, Frankie Valli, 
Nick Massi, and Bob Gaudio). 
The musical dramatizes several real-life incidents from Valli's life, 
including his estrangement from his daughter Francine, who died in 
1980.
The widely acclaimed show has won six Tony awards, with touring 
companies around the world, as well as a version at Paris Las Vegas. 
Based on the roadway smash hit and directed by Clint Eastwood, 
the movie Jersey Boys was released in 2014 to rave reviews, starring 
Christopher Walken and John Lloyd Young as Valli.
