This is a tough event to review.  If I could give half stars, I would go with 2.5.\n\nI had never been to a performance of the Singing Christmas tree before, so I was looking forward to checking it out. As Chad mentioned in his review, the show was an odd mixture that included traditional Christmas songs, international Christmas songs, puppets, and dancers. \n\nThe singers making up the tree did sound pretty good for most of the songs they performed and the soloist had a nice voice.  However, there were a few songs that did not get very good treatment. For example, I felt that their performance of Feliz Navidad was watered down and washed out.  It was a disappointment.  Overall though, I would rate the singers a solid 3 stars. \n\nThe dancing was hit or miss. I enjoyed the Irish dancers, but some of the other dances were not my cup of tea. A couple of times, I felt the dances seemed a bit out of place for this type of performance - the rockette style dancing by younger performers seemed a bit odd to me. I would give this portion of the show 2 stars.\n\nI like the Grey Seal Puppets but honestly, the storyline of the polar bear puppet was a bit on the silly side.   The talents of the Grey Seal Puppeteers are much more apparent in their other performances. \n\nHowever, the biggest problems I noticed were with the venue itself. I would give the venue 1 star.   First off, when we arrived, there were a lot of seats that had been double-booked.  I have never seen that type of chaos at any type of performance I have been to. It was bizarre.\n\nThe acoustics in this venue have always been bad, and they still are. \n\nThen, the seats were actually uncomfortable and I felt squished into my seat sitting between one big person and one tall person.  I almost felt claustrophobic at times. \n\nTo top it all off, it was really hot in there.... so uncomfortable that we thought about leaving halfway through the show.   We did end up staying for the entire performance but I have to admit, I felt a sense of relief when the show was over.
