Six The Musical Segerstrom Center For The Arts - Segerstrom Hall Theatre reviews
A little disapointed
1. I was absolutely blown away by Shinedown. They put on a great show and may have to reconsider my opinion of them.
2. My autistic son fell in love with Six The Musical, which was amazing! He doesn't get excited about much but this show was his main reason for buying tickets.
3. I promised him if Six The Musical played anywhere within a reasonable distance, we would take him. So, we got tickets for him, his sister, my husband, and me. They are 14 and this was their first concert. I guess there was an equipment malfunction during the last few songs, which were honestly our favorites. But my kids were on cloud 9, and that's all that matters.
