Good Evening!
I'm back from Seeing "Donnie & Marie - Christmas On Broadway".
It was a true "Entertainment". A little bit country. A little bit rock and roll. With some R&B, salsa, Broadway, pop and blues thrown in for good measure.
I truly don't know how to describe it. It's basically a mash-up of their Vegas act with a couple of Christmas songs thrown in. I was truly impressed by some of the material that was literally put in this week: some film segments, some jokes and even a few songs from what I understand.
They opened the show together. Then Marie did a 25-minutes set - concluding with some "opera"! Then Donny did his set. Then they came back together for the final segments which included a dance-off as well as a video montage of some of the people they've worked with over the past 48(!) years in show business.
It was loud. it was touching. It was tacky. It was nostalgic. It was strangely both over- and under-produced at times. I was never bored. And I loved it!
