Annual New York Burlesque Festival Newark reviews
Roger Waters tears down the Wall at the Izod Ctr
The performance of Pink Floyd's The Wall by founding member Annual New York Burlesque Festival on Wednesday night was both a rock concert and a Broadway show production. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Wall release, the concert featured only songs from The Wall album. Like the original Wall tour and the famous Berlin Wall show, a band-blocking wall was assembled during the performance. Throughout the show, strategic blocks in the wall were removed to reveal glimpses of singers and musicians. The crew cleverly assembled the entire band in front of the wall without being noticed. The massive wall served as a remarkable projection screen, blending visuals seamlessly. The show kicked off with fireworks and a model plane crashing into the wall. The lighting and sound spectacle continued through the first half of the album before a set break. The second set began with the band behind the wall for the first song, gradually revealing more glimpses until the band was fully visible. The incredible sound quality matched the stunning visuals. This show wasn't about individual performers but about the overall spectacle. It was a sensory experience not to be forgotten. Don't miss the chance to see this unforgettable show before the tour ends!
