Newsies Jr. Hartford Theatre reviews
Okay for teens, but...
I attended this concert with another mom and two thirteen-year-old girls. I am a huge fan of having a great time with my daughter, even though I may not be a Newsies Jr. fan myself.
I was disappointed to find that, despite the concert's scheduled 7:00 start time, Demi didn't actually begin until after 9:30! The opening acts seemed to never end - two and a half hours of continuous performances.
Throughout the program, there were commercials integrated into the show. Yes, actual commercials... one was an acne cream ad displayed on the screens, and another was repeatedly promoted at least 15 times. ("Let's give a big hand to our sponsors, xyz...") We, the paying audience, are your sponsors!
I gave the event two stars because, when Demi finally took the stage, the girls thoroughly enjoyed it.
