It was put on through the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation. I am visiting here from Arizona.

Last night, my husband and I eagerly awaited the annual Yacht Rock concert at the Mattie Kelly…read moreevents plaza in Destin, Florida. Each time we attended in the past, the bands were outstanding, very talented and full of energy. Last night was a huge disappointment and a total waste of $80. The Yacht Rock Schooner band was unbelievably bad, off key and out of tune. Most of the audience members were just as surprised as we were: were they really that bad, was the sound equipment not working, was this band formed yesterday? We have come to expect high quality entertainment from the MKAF, but now are not sure we will ever come back. We, along with many others, left at intermission. I do hope this is a one-off and not an indication of what to expect in the future from MKAF. Enthusiastic audiences and fellow patrons of the arts deserve better.

We paid $33 per person and 2.5 hours later, we had eaten an overly dressed salad, Stouffer's…read morelasagna (literally. it was Stouffer's lasagna and garlic bread), and a dry brownie with ice cream. Granted, the venue we watched the show at did not normally provide food, so I blame the horrible food entirely on the Act 4 Murder company, not the venue. The best part of the "show" was when one of the "actresses" messed up her line and the entire cast broke character and started laughing. While we easily determined "whodunit," we got more entertainment out of creating our own story about the "waiter" and writing down our answer accordingly. For our creativity, we received free pens for being the worst answer. In sum, if you consider High School Theater a good show, you'll enjoy watching this Company. Otherwise, I suggest you come highly intoxicated and bring friends that are also highly intoxicated. It will make the show so much better. But... at least they tried to be entertaining.... and we got pens.

I sat in the Orchestra Section, Row I, Seat 101, and my seat was perfect. Before the show, a wonderfully warm and gregarious usher gave me a personal tour of the whole facility. What a nice man. He has volunteered here for many years. It was a Broadway show with a Broadway cast, so the show was "outstanding" with all the award-winning S&G songs including: The Sound of Silence Bridge Over Troubled Water Homeward Bound Scarborough Fair Mrs. Robinson The Boxer Cecelia A Hazy Shade of Winter Feeling Groovy Bridge Over Troubled Water I am a Rock: "I've built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need of friendship friendship causes pains It's laughter and it's loving I disdain I am a rock I am an island Don't talk of love Well I've heard the word before It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died If I never loved I never would have cried I am a rock I am an island I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock I am an island And a rock feels no pain And an island never cries" Just wow! _
