SO we went to Andre R. last night at the TD garden..... (@ $140.00 each)!!!! We watch him all the time on PBS, and love it! Not the same last night.....he only played 2(of his) songs!!! But he introduced a whole lot more....3 tenors,(very good) the sopranos,(great voices), a marching band? Amen??? and Oh Happy Day???? Is this really Classical music???!!! I'm sorry but we did not sign up for that, we wanted to hear European songs, not other songs that he thought we would like!! ....we will watch Andre on PBS, that's ALL!!! I would like to have a program of songs BEFORE I go next time, if there is a next time. Btw, The Blue Danube was excellent, dancing was fun, need more of that!

I saw many of his concerts, even followed him to Canada. This was the worst show I have ever seen. First 1/2 was ok, but gospel screaming very disappointed. I don’t think this really belongs in his show. I will never go to see him in concert again.

Sadly, I too was very disappointed. I’ve loved Andre and his Strauss music for decades. I was thrilled to find he was coming to Chicago and purchased PRICEY main floor seating. Then I watched his 2023 tour on YouTube and I wanted to cry ????. It was nothing like I had expected. It was like a variety show and he was the Master of Ceremonies. The Gospel singers, while talented, sang for way too long. And only 2 Strauss waltzes!!??!! NOT ACCEPTABLE. I was able to receive a full refund and remain very disappointed ????

I saw André on Thursday for the fourth time, and I won’t be going again. The first half was amazing with the bagpipes and drums, a beautiful young singer and Andre’s usual beautiful sets. The same cannot be said about the second half, completely ruined by gospel singers who insisted on screaming so loud most of the audience were wincing in pain and local dogs running for cover.. There was also far to many call backs for applause with my hands hurting from all the clapping Having seen this wonderful orchestra, including the time he brought on the village people I’m sad to say I think he’s lost his way.

I was at the concert Saturday. It poured with rain for 2 hours prior to the start so most people were huddled in ponchos but still anticipating a great show. No mention of this from Andre or thanks for sitting it out. Some parts of the show were good but overall I was disappointed having seen many of his other shows at the cinema or on tv and excited to actually be in Maastricht. The concert, and Andre, lacked spirit and content and seemed tired which made those gospel singers seem totally over the top with their screaming renditions. Was disappointed ????

Oh my,
I was afraid of that! How sad :(. I purchased expensive tickets for the Chicago September 12 show. I watched a 2023 performance on YouTube after my purchase and am seriously thinking of reselling them. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE A VARIETY SHOW!! I want those wonderful Strauss waltzes etc.. I want what he is known for…. I don’t want to pay for jumpin’ gospel music…too much talking and comedy….no thanks

Went to the concert in Maastricht 7th July 2023, enjoyed, even loved, most of it but was disappointed when a Gospel Group came on. I, and many more on the same coach trip as my husband and I, expected to hear more from the tenors and the beautiful voices of the opera singers. Instead we had almost half an hour of very repetitive gospel singing. We wanted to go to the Vienna concert but are having second thoughts now...

I have loved Andre and particularly his Strauss waltzes with his fabulous orchestra.for many many years. When I saw that he was coming to Chicago I was under the impression that this tour would be very similar to what I’ve known his performances to be. I purchased VERY PRICEY main floor tickets. Then I watched this 2023 Tour on YouTube. I was sick as it WAS NOTHING like I expected. He was the Master of Ceremonies for a Variety Show. He talked and joked around with the audience as is his usual behavior but…too much talking. The Gospel singers, while talented, took up way too much time! Only 2 waltzes…SO TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTING :(
I was fortunate to get a full refund. Will he ever bring that beautiful European tour back? Must I go to Vienna? Is he just too tired these days?
