Mandy Patinkin Reviews

Disappointed from Westchester, NY

NOT WORTH SEEING; HE'S AN AGING SINGER WHO SHOULD HAVE STOPPED BEFORE THIS

I just saw him in Westchester, NY April, 2024. The songs he chose were strange - medleys of sentimental nursery tunes, an exhausting one-man rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, Over the Rainbow in Yiddish. He did do a couple of songs from Company. Honestly, his intonation was awful. The show was dripping in nostalgic sentiment. I probably would have been happy to have heard him sing Sondheim all evening, but not to be. Do NOT go see this show - expensive, and you'll leave just being sad you went. Better to watch Princess Bride for the umpteenth time, for free, than to waste your time and money on this.

DISAPPOINTED

Big Mandy fan. Very disappointed in the selection of numbers. Appeared to be very tired.

DISAPPOINTING

Love Mandy but his voice was just not there. It was shaky, weak and often simply off pitch. The song selections might have been touching if they didn’t continue on a dreary dirge of nostalgia and contrived sentimentality. His attempt at singing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody was confusing as to whether we were meant to think it was parody or an earnest effort. I actually felt insulted that anyone would think an audience would enjoy the performance. I’m sorry to be so negative but i think there is a limit to how poor a show can be but banking on the draw of the name to sell tickets. Very disappointing.

Very morbid show. Songs depressing Audience almost stopped clapping half way thru

DEPRESSING SHOW, NO VOICE

I just don't get it. His voice is extremely limited. Yes, he's extremely dramatic, to the point of being overwrought. Very strange selection of unfamiliar songs that were uniformly depressing. Lots of empty seats in the theatre (we got decent tickets last minute, that should have been a sign). Most of the audience seemed pleased, but I assume they are long-time Mandy fans, applauding him for his lifetime of achievement -- not this performance. Maybe he used to be a good performer, but doesn't have it any more. Rather sad.

Disappointing. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

ALSO SAD

I have loved Mandy work for years... so I had high expectations. He seemed tired and his voice was just not really there past the opening song which was amazing. I did not get the link between songs and would have liked a few more details between songs... Mandy go on a vacation and perhaps get some voice therapy......
