We were right up front for this wonderful nostalgia trip back to the days of Berry Gordy and the heyday of Detroit. The singers were excellent, perfect intonation and tight harmonies, plus great costumes. The guys were light-hearted and smiling throughout, even while executing complicated choreography under hot lights. The female singer’s voice is ethereal and her many gowns and sparking jewelry were beautiful. The duet of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” gave me chills, and my eyes were misty during their tribute to Our Maker. The staging, light effects and musicians were perfect. What a memorable show!

Red Skelton is truly memorialized by Brian Hoffman with Hoffman's talent in capturing the essence of Red's life and performances. Hoffman intertwines facts about Red's life and career as he beautifully portrays the jokes, the skits, and the characters of Freddie the Freeloader and Clem Kadiddlehopper. He interacts with the crowd and takes the audience into his performance. He thanked personally each military veteran and first responders and greeted individuals both before and after the show. Of course he did Mr. Skelton's "Pledge of Allegiance," a moving tribute to Red and a welcome reminder to all of us. This show, filled with laughter and enjoyment, will awaken your memories of earlier times.

One of the best shows ever, a little skeptical at first sighting, off beaten path , in back of parking lot with couple block buildings, first impressions where, what the hell did we get into, gut once we entered inside office talked to owner about show, we realized , we’re here now n let’s enjoy the show, it’s a small theater, with old movie seats in couple rows, we sat up front center stage, after awhile a small bus group came in to see show, it was really great show very personal, would definitely do it again soon , as they say don’t judge book by it’s cover, glad we stuck in there, we found a little gem , Elvis is great entertainer....
5. Conway Twitty Tribute by Travis James
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 925 reviews
Travis James is nationally recognized as the #1 Conway Twitty Tribute Artist in the industry. Just close your eyes and drift away as Conway is reincarnated. Those classic country hits just start to magically come to life right befor your eyes. It's breath taking to say the least when you sit back and get carried away to a time when Conway dominated the charts with his 55 # 1 hits. No artist to date has been able to capture the unique voice of the legends like Trais James.

Rich who is the ticket man at the theater the day we dropped in to buy tickets for the Red Skelton show we were told how talented Patty is, so we got tickets. I got the time wrong for the show so we sat in the parking lot waiting for the show. Hmmmmm. Where are the people for the show as we waited. I told my better half, maybe we should go on in and if no one shows they might cancel the show. As we approached the door, Patty herself was our greeter. Now, that was something to think about. How personal is that? So, the question was asked, are we the only ones and that was an affirmative, but, she stated you never know who will drop by so the show goes on. Now, I have never heard of Patty as I am sure many others haven't either. However, that would not deter us from seeing a show. As Rich had stated, she was very talented so we wanted to see that talent. How great is it to be entertained individually? We had such a good time with Patty and her partner. She had told us of her talents in playing up to 30 different instruments but it was getting to much in lugging them around these days. That certainly would be understandable. This is a small theater seating less than 100 people so you are up and close which allows for great exchange of audience participation. Not a problem for handicap. See the show. You will have a lot of fun
