Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve Reviews

DISAPPOINTING

This is my 2nd time seeing the show in Toronto. The first show a couple of years ago was fabulous. The show last night was boring. There was too much singing and story telling and not enough music. It sucked!

THIS ONE KIND OF SUCKED

I have seen TSO before and loved it. This time I took my wife, it was her first time. Unfortunately this time the show was terrible. There was way to much singing, way to much story telling (FYI, the spoken word story, while presented by a man with a great voice and talent makes no sense, is convoluted, and difficult to understand). TSO's claim to fame is Christmas music with a rock twist, and their light show. Unfortunately after an hour and a half we where so fed up that we left and never got to that point. Its disappointing that they make you go though 90 minutes of slow paced, convoluted boredom before they even get to what they are known for.

WEIRD

Music was good, show itself was awesome but didn't hear the story because it was so loud so basically some dude talking in-between. Then random solos, good singing but thats not what I came for. Orchestra was hidden which was weird. I want Orchestra! Too much solo singing, hair shaking, weird videos and random dancing..it was the weirdest thing I've seen. Orchestra songs when they played were great. Also girls walking weird the whole time.

BAD OVERALL

Saw this in Pittsburgh at the PPG Paints Arena. The "story' was dark and rambling, hard to follow. The music was WAAAY to loud - so loud it hurt. The laser show was OK if you like being blinded. I think it may have been to the venue, but they should be able to tone it down somewhat, if the have a reliable technician. The musicians were phoning it in - I actually think it may have been a sound track!! Not Christmasy at all. We left half way through and getting outside (even though it was cold) was a relief!! Don't waste your money!!

STILL QUESTIONING

Always wanted to see TSO. In Green Bay I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and am still questioning their Christmas story of a runaway younger girl. It’s why I looked at other reviews. I couldn’t be the only one?! Satanic undertones throughout left me feeling this girl’s plight led to serving a dark master with other girls - oddly felt like a sex trafficking outcome. A twisted Christmas story for sure. Distasteful. The female singers saved the show.

SO DISAPPOINTED

I've wanted to see them for a while and finally went with the family. Wish I had saved my money. So much singing which would have been ok if anyone had a great voice. I've seen better watching Americas Got Talent. The first part with someone coming out and narrating a story between songs was boring and did nothing for the show. I was sorely tempted to leave. The second part was much better.... except for the bad singing and over the top theatrics. Will not be going back. Think twice before you waste your mo ey.

LOUD PIPED IN MUSIC

I concur with a lot of the comments about the darkness of the show. This was NOT an uplifting holiday experience. The music was absolutely BLASTED out of the sound system and from the motions of the "musicians" on the various stages it was fairly apparent that much of the music was being piped in from a track. Essentially this is not a "concert" this is a visual production.
