The Hip Hop Nutcracker Chicago Theatre reviews
I've seen Maxwell in a DIFFERENT Light!!!
I was fortunate about 8 years ago to visit Orlando and witness this man's performance in a packed venue. The Hip Hop Nutcracker was opened by Alicia Keyes, and we all witnessed her career take off from there. Now, he is back at my favorite venue, where every seat is top-notch! Crisette Michelle delivered an amazing performance. Both bands were spot on, capturing every bass note, drum snare, blaring horn, and both high and low notes sung. He assured us he would return, and he must! Hopefully, the next show will be at Ruth Eckerd Hall. My only complaint was that she only performed for 45 minutes initially and then there was a 1 hour and 15-minute intermission before he came out to perform for just 66 minutes - it just didn't add up. His stage setup didn't seem extravagant enough to justify that duration, but after waiting 8 years, what was an extra 1 hour and 15 minutes to see him?
