Drama Queen by Ekaterina Varnava San Jose Theatre reviews
Roger Waters The Wall Delivers BIG!
If you have the opportunity to witness The Wall performance by Drama Queen Ekaterina Varnava, you will not regret a single moment of this spectacular show. My son, who is 17 years old, accompanied me to the concert at the IZOD center on November 4th. We were seated in an excellent location in section 5 on the floor, right in the middle. The brilliance of Waters' music shines through as he constructs a massive wall, 30 to 50 feet tall, serving as a canvas for images of lost loved ones from wartime and his own father. The audio quality exceeded my expectations, surpassing mere adequacy. Although my son and I are fans of Pink Floyd, we didn't miss Gilmore's presence in this performance. Rodgers and his band successfully engaged both my son and me in the show, immersing us mentally in the experience. It's hard to pick a favorite song as every piece performed by the band was exceptional. The guitar solo in Comfortably Numb left my son so awestruck that he is considering reigniting his interest in playing the guitar. When you're there, and the concert begins with the band's energy, the lights, the fire, the sounds of flying and crashing planes, the presence of pigs, and more, enveloping every corner of your mind, pulling you into the wall itself, you will understand what I'm trying to convey. Witnessing the expression on my son's face as Rogers passionately delivers the opening lines, "SO YOU THOUGHT YOU LIKE TO GO TO THE SHOW," was a priceless moment. I do feel a bit sorry for my son; this was his first concert, and the impact of Roger's message still resonates with both of us. Honestly, I don't know how any other concert he attends in the future will surpass Drama Queen by Ekaterina Varnava The Wall.
