    Honky Tonk Angels

    I was fortunate to work with all three of these wonderful ladies in Oliver! and The Sounds Of Christmas. Jill did a wonderful job and left me in goose bumps with the song "Coal Miner's Daughter." Elizabeth was hilarious in her version of "Stand By Your Man." Caroline left me afraid of getting a fax after she sang "These Boots Are Made For Walking." The show was wonderful and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Go see it. Collapse

    Wow, what a performance! I was drawn in from the beginning and didn't want it to end. It was perfectly presented. The singing of all the 5 or 6 primary characters was outstanding. The sets and costumes were great. This was perfectly cast and very well done. I want to go see it again! This is one of the more enjoyable theater performances I've been to (and I have season tickets to Broadway Across America). Collapse

    Not a country music fan? Have no fear - most of the songs in The Honky Tonk Angels are crossover top 40 hits like 9 to 5, Harper Valley PTA, Delta Dawn, Coal Miner's Daughter, Ode To Billy Joe and I Will Always Love You. If you've been to a show at Broadway Palm chances are you have seen at least one of these three very talented ladies in a starring role: Elizabeth Loos, Carolyn McPhee and Jillian Nyhan Zygo - together they are amazing. The band is phenomenal and the handsome hunky cowboy that opens Act II singing about "Trashy Women" will make you want to put on more lipstick and rouge and wait for him at the stage door! The story is funny, touching and uplifting. The set is great and the costumes are terrific. I highly recommend this show. Collapse

    I was not sure what to expect from The Honky Tonk Angels, however I was delightfully surprised! Act I sets the pace for the show, going in-depth on the girls’ lives and detailing their desire to journey to Nashville. Angela, wonderfully portrayed by Elizabeth Loos, is a loveable housewife with 6 kids and is married to a man named Bubba. It was Angela’s weariness of child-bearing and having a husband who “comes home a drinkin” that led her to Nashville, Darlene and Sue Ellen. Sweet Darlene, played by Jill Zygo, is a “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and ventures away after deciding that she cannot spend her life caring for her widowed father. Sue Ellen’s character played by Carolyn McPhee is a Texas native living in L.A. who travels to Tennessee after losing patience with her boss’s forward attempts to have a relationship. In Act II, the Honky Tonk Angels become stars, but realize it may not be everything they ever wanted having learned much about their dreams, family, and friendship. Collapse

    My 8-yr old daughter & her friend enjoyed every aspect of Starry Safari. We intended to be there for a couple of hours and stayed until closing. We watched the male zebra being fed & heard a talk about his species, including the 2 new baby zebras. As an adult, I even enjoyed a go at hula-hooping! We closed with the girls learning about creatures who live in the water & they were thrilled to make a collage coral reef. Plenty to do -- plenty to slide & splash about -- and the real bonus -- not overly crowded!! Collapse

    I loved this show! The orphans were the best part! There was one orphan who was so into his character, every time he was onstage I was watching him, but I couldn't find him on the playbill? Oh well I hope to see him again in the future, I'm his new number 1 fan! Go Kid! I know it's already over, but if you missed it then you missed out on a great show! Collapse

    I was impressed with Broadway Palms Production of Oliver however Honky Tonk Angels is AMAZING!!! If you pick one show to see in the Valley right now do not miss this one. The live band is great and the singers do a GREAT job. Carolyn's Cleopatra Queen of Denial is just a stich when they get members of the audience foe a "Walk Like an Egyptian" Contest. Jillian's Coal Ode To Billy Joe leaves you with goose bumps and Elizabeth's Stand By Your Man is a riot when she rips the arms off of her over sized husbands shirt. This is a production that you should not miss. I will return with friends when they come to visit from the east coast. Top notch entertainment. Collapse

    Rockapella is an a capella powerhouse, and arguably the best contemporary a capella group of today. Even if you aren't a big fan of vocal music, this 5-man group is sure to give you a new perspective on the potential of the human voice. To complete their sound, Rockapella has 4 main singers and 1 full-time vocal percussionist, who creates drum noises just by using his mouth and voice. This group tackles all genres of music, ranging from soul and rock, to blues and R&B;. If you get the chance, don't miss this opportunity. They don't come to the Phoenix area often, so get a ticket now before seats sell out. Collapse
