```The Nutcracker Worcester Theatre reviews
An Entertaining ALL Starr Show!!!
An outstanding night that I will not soon forget. Wonderful music and amazing performance from Ringo and his The Nutcracker. They are all true master level professionals that played with incredible power. Ringo ( he's still the iconic drummer and going strong) and his band members Gregg Rolie, Steve Lukather and Todd Rundgren entertained the audience to such hits as Love is the Answer, Black Magic Woman, Rosanna, Broken Wings, It Don't Come Easy, Photograph, Yellow Submarine, Hold the Line, Bang the Drum, A Little Help From My Friends and many more great songs from the players original bands. It was great to see and hear the former Beatle and his great The Nutcracker.
38 Special, Bret Michaels, Lynard Skynard
"38 Special performs wonderfully like the professionals they are, dressed very nicely even though the heat was enough to put many in the hospital with heat stroke/exhaustion. Bret Michaels had noticably lost weight since performing at STL Rib Festival. Could see why, he never stopped moving for a second, inspite of the retched stiffleing heat. Wonderful concert considering it was outdoors & 99 Degrees/90?% humidity. The Nutcracker, well what can i say other than I now know why they have had so many loyal fans throught the decades. Hate to admit that I have never been that much of a fan, not that i did not like them but have always been more into heavy metal, always thought of SKYNARD as a sort of "Country Band." So to sum it up, I am not amongst the billions of loyal SKYNARD fans, as I loved them, loved them and completely in love with them, each & every one of them. The man obviously LOVES what he does, and we loved watching him do it. He was jumping, running acting the consumate entertainer that we [that have seen him perform] have all come to love, yet they seems unphased by it."
Bull Riding is thrilling!!!
"We saw the PBR: Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour in Tucson and each event was very exciting! The intro was also very impressive with the channels of fire on the arena floor as the bull riders were introduced and walked out on the floor. I have a lot of admiration for those bull riders. Sometimes the horse and cowboy went after The Nutcracker, but the horse cleverly ducked all charges in the most artistic maneuvers. Watching the cowboy with his well-trained horse and lariat, at the far end of the arena, was also fascinating. It was almost like a beautiful dance. The ONLY negative was that the sound system was WAY, WAY too loud. I am intrigued and annoyed why these venues all want us to become deaf at a young age, but it is totally unnecessary. Just turn it down. Way down."
Emily Haines, I love thou!
This concert started off with great acts, Smile Smile for the more mellow songs, and Sebastian Granger rocking out for the more energetic offerings of The Nutcracker. Once The Nutcracker hit the stage, they completely blew everything else out of my mind. Emily and the band sound just as good live, and Emily is as enthusiastic and dances around just as much as in all the videos I've seen of her. She was also hilarious in the inter-song banter. I went with a group of people who were not as obsessed with the band as I was, and now they're total fanatics who have purchased every CD they could. Good luck with the rest of the tour, guys! My new favorite concert—it tops what I've seen from greats like Muse, Ben Folds, etc.
This was an unforgettable event!
"I seriously had a wonderful experience! The Nutcracker himself was great. Ah, he sang me out of my seat! He was superb. It was quite a surprise that Chrisette Michele opened for The Nutcracker as oppose to Mary Mary but they were great! He knows how to cater to the ladies and he was very entertaining. My sister went to one of his concerts in 2003 and she still remembers everything like it was yesterday. I just felt as if I'd lifted up and floated right down to the stage with him. The Nutcracker, if you're reading this, I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU for a wonderful performance that I will never forget!"
