Josh Groban Reviews

JUST OK

Have seen Josh Groban in concert many times. This was by far quite a disappointment. It was a variety show and not what I would have expected. came to hear Josh sing his hits-not to see Dr Ruth or a slide show of his Girl Friend (????). Why. ? Sing your hits and not others Songs. Left feeling sad !!!

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

Josh Groban’s Valentine’s show at Radio City Music Hall was more of a TV Variety show than a concert. I love Josh’s voice and was hoping for two hours of beautiful music. Instead I got videos of Josh in Central Park surprising and kidding around with tourists. I got sex advice (!) from Dr. Ruth who was one of his special surprise guests (I was hoping for an A level duet singer). I got a ridiculous over-the -top comic /singer Bridget Everett whom I would never pay to see. I got to see a subway performer (electric cello) who was quite talented but, again, not what I wanted to experience (same for two lovely children choirs) Josh seemed to be trying way too hard to be funny, but I guess that is his personality. Sweet, endearing but I kept thinking: enough already. Yes, you’re a nice guy but sing for goodness sake. His musical team are great. When playing, they were superb. Bottom line: I wanted more songs and less schtick.

DISAPPOINTED! TOO MUCH SHTICK!

Went to see Josh Groban’s Show at Radio City Show on Feb 14th. I looked forward to an evening of beautiful music from a very talented singer. What we got instead was 15+ minutes of a stupid skit interview with Dr. Ruth, a ridiculous skit with an overweight singer/comedian running half naked around the stage and way too much talking. He did introduce us to to a 2nd year medical student from Mount Sinai Hospital, who plays Cello in the Westside Subway at 42nd St. The student know as Mr. Eyeglasses was very talented as were the choir from the Frank Sinatra Music School. He was wonderful to give these young people exposure. However I paid $185 to hear him sing not for skits especially Dr. Ruth (it was painful). What a waste of time. Josh sang MAYBE 10 songs the entire night and took a 30 minute intermission. So a lot of filler. Is he not capable of filling 2 1/2 hours with singing? He did mostly covers and a couple of his own material excluding BELIEVE and the PRAYER. The last performance of the night was an overdone too long rock song with the whole band, and him at the piano. You're not a rock star Josh. There were several complaints from audience members around me. We were hoping the 2nd 1/2 would be better than the 1st. Hmmmm. This show needs ND OVERHAUL. Fans want to hear Josh Groban use his talent and sing not do Shtick! Date of experience: February 2020 This

SO DISAPPOINTING!

So sad that this show ended up just a big mess. Tasteless special guest Bridgette Everest, 20 min interview with Dr. Ruth, and a bunch of story telling and videos. I didn't know this was going to be a variety show with almost no singing. I thought it would be a romantic evening listening to amazing songs suing by an amazing talent. Everything about the show fell flat.

DISAPPOINTED

I have loved Josh Groban for years, but this was my first chance to see him in concert. With the exception of Eyeglasses who was simply incredible, the other guests where horrible. Dr. Ruth is a lovely person, but didn't belong in this show. Bridgete Everett was horrific. I was really disappointed with the fact he didn't sing as much as I had hoped.

SADLY DISAPPOINTING

I was waiting months for this concert as I have adored Josh Groban for way more than a decade. . I had no idea for $1000 I would be seeing an over aged and untalented woman on stage to doing a most embarrassing skit with josh Groban. Not to mention that she was virtually nude and very unimpressive parts of her body were hanging out of her dress. My husband and I were humiliated for her. He sang only 4 songs before a ‘30 minute intermission’ . And why was it necessary to witness a long question and answer session with josh and Dr. Ruth about sex?. Made us question whether or not we needed to be concerned about Josh Groban’s mental state. If someone did not know of Josh Groban‘s talents, they would certainly not have been made aware of them with this display. Was he resting his voice or trying to get the attention of an acting director in the audience. I think he has one of the greatest voices the world has ever seen but we saw very little of it that day from fourth row center seating. Sadly disappointed josh. You are so much better than that show. If you needed to rest your voice in between songs or during a song you could have had duets with Idina Menzel or nettles. You don’t need to use audience participation, your voice is way more than anyone can ever ask for. Still love you josh but seriously devastated by your Valentines show at the great Radio City Music Hall.

TOO MUCH LIKE A VARIETY SHOW

We echo most of the reviews already written. Given we saw Josh Groban on Valentine’s Day, we expected to hear all the songs he made famous. Instead, most of the time was devoted to other acts. What we found particularly odd was the video montage dedicated to his girlfriend and videos of interrupting couples’ carriage rides through Central Park. While Josh mentioned the show would be different, it certainly did not capture his talent. Hopefully Josh and his producers will read these reviews and make significant changes for the upcoming shows. It’s Josh’s voice we all came to hear!!
