The Asher Theatre and Conference Center

Went to see the Motown Review last weekend. Bought the dinner/show package. Pros - The show itself was very good, with lots of talented performers. I liked how they only sang snippets of the good songs, to keep things moving. The variety of Motown music wast really great too, with both male and female singers. Costumes to mimic the original musicians were done well. Show length was just right. Cons - While I didn't have any expectations, the food was quite underwhelming. I purchased the dinner because we wanted seats up close. We didn't go there to get a great meal, but for the performance. However, the food was cold and the chicken was dry. It was edible, but that's as far as I'll go. As mentioned, the performers were very talented. My only complaint is toward the end of the show, when they started with the religious stuff. It felt like church at one point. We didn't go there for religion, but to be entertained. They can lose an audience in that part of the show. There was a lot of banter between two of the performers, which was funny at first, but lasted FAR too long and took away from the time they were singing. That section can definitely be pared down. Overall, I'd recommend the show, but with the caveat of buying dinner. It's such a small venue, you can see the stage just fine from anywhere.

We went to diner and the Motown show which I highly recommend! Fun evening and James is a great entertainer! The others are so talented too! Lots of variety! Nice costumes! I enjoyed the smaller but nice Theatre and the food was good. One of the best shows on the beach to me and if you only have one night this makes for a cozy romantic evening!
