Well, I was going to buy a High School Musical 3 ticket for 6.50, but I sacked up and paid the full $18 twice. Took my daughter. Yes the sound was just so poor, and this was a theatre that brags about it's digital surround sound. We stayed thru most of the show, but grew a little weary of the concert in a theatre setting. But I ended up watching the show FOR FREE. I simply went and complained about the sound and made an attendant walk in and hear for himself. Within 10 minutes, I had $36 in a gift card from the theatre.

A hacked up job. But, what else would we expect from Queen Productions?
It wasn't a waste of my money or time, but the mix was indeed poor. I'm sure it'll get the full treatment when the DVD is released.

I would have written you a note. It's my job, dear!
Around 20 in Buffalo NY.........but not surprising since there was no promotion.....we couldn't even see anything advertising it in the theatre itself i.e. you could go there and not know it was playing that day at all as it wasn't even listed in the movies playing section....................thought the show was cool overall....nice to see in good picture quality...wish it was louder in the theatre .....Cosmos Rocks was great live.....C-lebrity back vocals were too far back...loved hearing Shooting Star and Bad Company (since watching originally over the internet from the Ukraine)....knew they'd be rough around the edges for their first show but it was much better than the first show last tour....(because it wasn't 7+ years since they had played)....like that Brian has changed his solo somewhat (addition of Bijou which was cool)....and like Roger's creativity with solos with QPR...gotta say Roger sounds great on the studio album and live...
Really really hope they make it to North America now

We had over 50 in attendance at our theater and it sounded fantastic for using the movie system. People here need to realize that most of the problem comes from the sound systems these theaters are using. It's a big area to fill and they aren't designed for concert sound, they are designed for movies. The system at our theater had to be cranked up to 9 and it's usually on 2 for this show.
Of the show itself, it looked fantastic. My biggest gripe was the missing songs obviously, but what pissed me off even more was the editing of songs. Seriously? One verse of WATC which is suppose to be the finale? Cmon... what crap were these production people trying to pull?

Only part of One Vision, Tie Your Mother Down and Hammer to Fall were played at the show itself. The big edits I picked up on were the bad slap-job done on the intro tape, what felt like an entire chorus cut from All Right Now, most of the stage banter being removed, and Champions being reduced to one verse and a chorus. I don't think the show lost much from cutting out the songs they completely removed (although the cut between Feel Like Making Love and Bo Rap was painfully obvious). Even the All Right Now edit wasn't too harsh, but taking out half of Champions was ridiculous, and an otherwise brilliant intro tape was completely ruined by the edits.
I'm also not a big fan of the intro the band used here to begin with. One Vision should have been left in the '80s, or at the very least used as a mid-set rocker instead of opening with half of it, and Tie Your Mother Down should NEVER be edited down. I know some here are sick of listening to it, but I can't think of many other songs out there from ANY band that fill a spot in the set as well as TYMD fills the second slot in Queen's. Cutting half of it out (including the huge ending) so you can medley it into TSMGO was, imo, a bad decision.
I did love '39, though, and as mentioned by lots of people (myself included), Cosmos Rockin' is a great live song. I actually prefer it either as the closing number (which will never happen as long as they're playing Bo Rap) or an encore piece. Surf's Up is by far the best opening song they've used on this tour--but I still wish they'd ball up and play an abbreviated Now I'm Here that leads into TYMD.
I LOVE QUEEN
