Holiday
Venue
Great seats and awesome entertainment. The Oak Ridge Boys were awesome as always and they really put their heart into the show. Loved seeing the loyalty and friendship they all still have for each other.
The show was awesome. We go to see them every year.
Good mixture of down home Christmas/Holiday songs with some old country classics. They told their story of the group being together for many decades, albums and heard some decent fireside chats. UMBC not all that close to public transit (light rail) but a nice campus facility, clean with nice food/drink options.
The Rialto Square Theatre is a beautiful theater. The organ being played prior to the concert and during the intermission was a special treat. The Oak Ridge Boys, what can I say, they are still one of my favorite groups for many, many years, and they do not disappoint. The combination of the old hits, the secular Christmas section, and the Christian Christmas section are well done. Love singing "Silent Night" with them.
It truly was a tremendously awesome show..glad i was able to go
While the Oak Ridge Boys have been a top band, this performance, the very last of their Christmas tour, was not anywhere near what we expected. The singers looked tired and worn out, likely from an aggressive tour. I suppose I should have known based on the many, near a third, of the seats were open for the performance. The singing was not very enjoyable. The performance was so scripted the band even acknowledge and introduced each set (Our Rocking Chair set, Our Santa set, and so on). The experience was about as as enjoyable as reading a dinner menu. At one point, we contemplated just leaving. I would not recommend this, or any other ORB performance. They need to know when to just hang it up and not keep trying to squeeze every dollar out of a 40 year old career.
Our seats were great, except for man in the hat in front of me. The Oak Ridge Boys were fantastic as always. The Rialto may be old, but beautiful. The organist that played before the Oaks performance was very pleasant to hear and the organ was beautiful to look upon. All in all, we had a wonderful evening.
The addition of Santa giving gifts to kids and watching in the large screen was moving, as was the rocking chair segment with personal stories and the audience singing Silent Night Next year planning in bringing more if the family
Wonderful show, talented, and loving people. Have seen them many times throughout their career.
this was a gift to my parents and inlaws for Christmas, they all enjoyed themselves very much and my inlaws are very old school and dont do things like this. They were talking of doing it again so thats a big plus!
