Review for Friends of the Levitt Pavilion -Macarthur Park, Los Angeles, CA, USA
50 mini summer concerts at MacArthur Park! Four years and counting. Angelinos unaware of this unique event find it impossible to imagine such a venue. Once you show them the artfully packaged schedule of performances, the public relations atmosphere begins. The usual comments are "hey' I paid $to see this performance at such place or I've wanted to catch this show at the bowl, or can't afford to see this artist when he's in town". Well, we're very grateful to the Friends of the Levitt Pavilion for their commitment to our community, for following their instincts and pursuing this impossible dream in our backyard. Then, there's the icing on the cake. Saturdays show is dedicated to the children. Whether it's Choo Choo Soul or Bob Barkers Marionetts the interactive performances command the imagination and excitement of the children. Thru their inquisitive giggles or explosive laughter, we are invited and surrender into their world. SO, COME ONE COME ALL IT'S THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! And did I mention it takes place at MacArthur Park.
