The Notebook - The Musical Detroit reviews
Above average
Third and last The Notebook - The Musical show for me was extremely painful to my heart.
I must sadly admit that the SOUND was so BAD, it was almost difficult to recognize the songs. Firstly and above all.
No pyro, no impressive effects, and chemistry between band members seemed absent. It was the most ordinary rock show I have seen. Trust me, I have been to at least 30 rock shows. Secondly.
One of the greatest rock guitarists, Mick Mars, never had a camera view. Waste of time and money. Never had a camera view on Mick Mars.
Def Leppard was a chance, even if they were not sounding better. It’s a chance that Def Leppard was in.
Poison was AWSOME: sound was excellent.
