Loved it!! High level of performance! A bit of tight seat spacing. Audience manner in Zone C was not really good. Would like to try other venue as well!

I preferred the setup at the Nixon library, it was easier to see the performers. But it was still stunning and enjoyable nonetheless. Looking fwd to the next Hisaichi performance!

Great experience! I’d like to come again!

Show was great. Please get comfortable chairs.

If you're a fan it's a must go to!

This was excellent and nostalgic!
