Attending the Patinkin performance in Mesa a few days ago affirmed my perception of this gentleman as an American treasure. His humor, rapport with the audience, thematic medleys, and nonstop enthusiasm made for an evening few artists can muster, much less maintain for so long without an intermission. I hope other reviewers, most apparently attending a different show that preceded this one, since their reviews were posted before the Mesa performance, managed to see Mandy Patinkin and enjoy his art the way the audience did here.

Don’t know what show others saw, but he was brilliant. It was a very fun and moving night. Would see him again in a heartbeat.

I've been loving Mandy's voice/style for decades and last night I finally saw him perform. I cried through the whole show. At first it was from happiness and then it was from sadness. It was moving - downhill slowly. I'm so sad that I left a Bucket List stunned and confused. People couldn't get out fast enough. :(

We saw him last night at Suffolk Theatre. Selection of his songs were disappointing.

I just saw him in Westchester, NY April, 2024. The songs he chose were strange - medleys of sentimental nursery tunes, an exhausting one-man rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, Over the Rainbow in Yiddish. He did do a couple of songs from Company. Honestly, his intonation was awful. The show was dripping in nostalgic sentiment. I probably would have been happy to have heard him sing Sondheim all evening, but not to be. Do NOT go see this show - expensive, and you'll leave just being sad you went. Better to watch Princess Bride for the umpteenth time, for free, than to waste your time and money on this.

I was excited to attend this performance with my husband, but after 15 minutes we were wondering what we were watching. The song selection is strange, and the choices are in no way explained or introduced. I was hoping for perhaps context or some entertaining story telling, but little was offered. There were some painful moments that did not work at all and that were puzzling. A cardboard dog cut out, a guest appearance by his son, a weird sing along to make up a song for his grandson - none of these “worked”. Some die hard fans seemed to clap at everything, but many around us seemed to also wonder what we just paid for and spent and evening watching. There was relief in our section at the end of the evening.
