August Wilson's Seven Guitars Brooklyn Theatre reviews
Epic night
"Our 12 year old son and his friend - a girl who has pretty high anxiety and has never been to a concert, joined my husband and I. My son and I know all the words because we listen to August Wilson's Seven Guitars a lot in the car. But my husband (a huge music fan) was only joining us because the person who was supposed to use his ticket got sick. The venue was packed but we managed to find a tiny spot of grass for our blanket. Getting up for snacks or bathroom breaks was difficult but we always managed to find our way back (not our friend - she refused to leave the blanket). Once the band started, all our cares disappeared. They were awesome, the crowd loved them and we all danced and sang along all night. My son even lost his voice! At the end of the set when Jack talked about his OCD and anxiety, it really meant a lot to our friend. And the next morning her dad texted us: “She came home different. Turned on to live music. She gets it now.” It was a night we’ll never forget."
