Josh goban tickets7/25/2023 ![]() Running in to the crowd, singing happy birthday to those who deserve it and making a joke at every opportunity and mind you, the jokes are actually funny. Of which all could be true, however, at a live show Josh Groban shows another side, a louder, funnier, and charming side that you had no idea even existed. Listening to his music, you would think he is quiet, reserved, deep and intelligent. His albums, in no way, hint at his personality. Wishing and wanting to be able to belt it out the way he does. I urge any and everyone to go see the show if you get the chance.Īt first one would think that Josh Groban is just another opera singer whose voice is slightly bigger than everyone else’s, but if you have ever seen him live, you would bite your tongue for having said anything of the kind.Īlong with the majestic orchestra he usually has set up, the combination of instruments and his voice puts you in a state of emotional bliss. Throughout the night the show just seemed to go from strength to strength leaving you at the end of the night feeling uplifted and overjoyed. I doubt a single member of the audience could have failed to have been moved by their version of ‘If I loved you’. She starts to sing and you just find yourself drawn in, captivated and enchanted. She is such an elegant, powerful and proud performer commanding an immense stage presence. I first saw her several years ago staring alongside Rachel Tucker in the West End production of WICKED The Musical. Another highlight of the evening for me was when he revealed Louise Dearman as a guest performer. It’s hard to pick favourites from a show that was so consistently strong but if pushed to choose I’d say his production of Le temps des cathédrales from Notre-Dame de Paris was particularly mesmerizing. ![]() He did a lot of musical numbers from his latest album Stages including songs from Chess, Carousel and Phantom of the Opera. Everyone on stage with him from the orchestra to guest stars seemed genuinely delighted to be there and a part of the show. Indeed, he returned to the stage to give a second encore in response to crowd’s applause and finished the night with heart felt version of ‘You Raise Me Up’. Setting aside for a moment his immense talent as a singer and pianist he is a truly great performer who clearly appreciates his audience and goes to the nth degree to give back to them and interact making them feel include in the show. Groban built on this success with the release of “Live at the Greek” in 2004, “Awake” in 2006, the Christmas album “Noel” in 2007, “Illuminations” in 2010, and “All That Echoes” in 2013. ![]() ![]() ![]() 4, aided by the popular singles “You Raise Me Up” and “Remember When It Rained”. The album ultimately topped the U.S Billboard 200 after debuting at No. The singer’s sophomore full-length “Closer”, released in November 2003, represented a much more honest and open approach to songwriting and producing than its predecessor. The singer’s classical style and enviable vocal range have led him to perform at a number of high profile events including the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, the Vatican in Rome, Italy, and at the World’s Children’s Day alongside Céline Dion, Nick Carter and Enrique Iglesias. The album subsequently went double-platinum, earned favourable reviews from critics, and spawned the Adult Contemporary Chart No. The November 2001 release highlighted Groban’s voice as a force to be reckoned with, notably on the singles “Gira Con Me Questa Notte” and “Alla Luce Del Sole”. Aided by singing at the 1999 inauguration of the Governor of California Gray Davis, a duet with Céline Dion, and a popular appearance in “Alley McBeal”, Groban’s early career went from strength to strengthįollowing a host of benefit shows including “The Andre Agassi Grand Slam Event for Children” with Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Don Henley and Robin Williams, “Muhammed Ali’s Fight Night Foundation”, and “The Family Celebration”, the singer released his self-titled debut album. Groban subsequently studied at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, and Cernegie Mellon University, before dropping out of the latter having been offered a recording contract. Having started life with dreams of acting, it wasn’t until the summers of ’97 and ’98 where he attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts Camp in Michigan that singing became his priority. ![]()
