Great experience. Musicians were wonderful and the crowd was really into the experience. I have gone to several other Candlelight events but this is the first one that the audience became part of the show. So much fun!!!

This is my third time attending a candlelight event. The Michael Jackson tribute and the Gem theater were my favorite so far.

I must say that this will be my fourth candlelight event. And when I say that the Michael Jackson experience was the best by far. The group that was playing was just wonderful. We recognize one of the young men as being from one of the other shows. The fact that we were able to sing along with the music made it just that much more wonderful. This was the first one that we went to that was not in a church but then the acoustics were still wonderful. We will continue to go to these events
