New Jersey Performing Arts Center

I finally had the opportunity to see Samara Joy live and she is truly a joy to listen too. She is a young, new jazz singer with an "old soul". Her vocal abilities are phenomenal. She puts a bit of a unique spin on many old standards. Her small band is awesome as well consisting of a piano, bass trombone, trumpet and (I think) 2 sax players. One gentleman also plays the flute. Her live show does not compare with her recordings. I would recommend everyone (especially if you love music) see her, You won't be disappointed.

Godsmack changed things up and still rocked out, as always. A more intimate setting with some acoustic songs and stories mixed into an electric set that also featured some really cool covers. These guys always bring it. 🤘🏻

Omg. My absolute favorite band for 25 years and never disappoints. My 19th show since but remember Covid? I can’t remember how long band didn’t tour for then due to old age lol 😂 A different one of kind show that reminded me of his 2 solo tours that I also was at.

Great show! My husband saw them over 20 years ago and wasn’t impressed with their performance then, but he said this show was very different and he enjoyed it a lot. It was cool how they interacted with the audience and the focus was on the music more than the visuals. The visuals were still really cool though. The images shown on the screen behind the band were interesting and enhanced the experience for people seated far from the stage. I especially loved Voodoo.

The show was great, Godsmack was fantastic, but the venue was crazy, with people in long lines everywhere. The food was really bad, even the $7 pretzel was so hard I couldn't eat it, for what we paid for everything, I think the food could be better. Also, there were some super obnoxious drunk people that I felt security should have handled, we actually had beer thrown on us by a drunk man...

Look. Godsmack simply put on one of the best concerts in the business. Period. Sully Erna is a dynamite front man, fantastic songwriter, and has a passion and energy that is infectious. The band is stellar, particularly Shannon Larken the drummer. They are top knotch. The show was a high from beginning to end, and I didn't want it to stop. And seeing it at NJPAC brought another level of credibility to a group that are of the caliber to be playing in great music halls. The whole night was a thrill ride and I want to do it again.

I went to this show in Honor of my friend, Kelly A. Lieske, who was Leela James’ biggest fan! She passed 2yrs ago on December 10th so it was the perfect tribute! Leela was awesome but I wish she had a bit more time to sing! 🥰

Best concert I have ever been to. The vibe was phenomenal with all three performers. The energy was electrifying. I will definitely attend another concert with the GREAT Beres Hammond.

The venue was awesome! Security procedures were so fast! Super easy to scan tickets! So many options to buy food and drinks which really minimized the lines. Really loved all the different spaces you could hang out in before the show. Other venues do not offer this. Bathrooms were clean and accessible. Everything was a bit pricey - but that’s anywhere you go. I will definitely be back. Great experience. And Shane Gillis was a killer!

Just her, a piano and her music director playing it. Loved it! Also loved her strong message regarding what's going on in the world nowadays and that she is so pro LGBTQ. She certainly had fun during her performance as well. Win win for everyone there that night!

This evening with Audra McDonald was almost certainly the greatest performance with one singer I have ever experienced. Yes, she has a great voice—few other singers have a more powerful moving voice, gorgeous in all registers; and none except Streisand has so individual a sound. McDonald sang “Summertime” without microphone—breathtaking. Indeed I sometimes wished she had sung the entire evening without the microphone; she doesn’t need it. Highlights: “Before the parade passes by,” “Will he like me,” and—amazing for an encore—“Cabaret”: her interpretation made it new in the best ways. But choosing highlights is foolish. Her singing, her song choice, her commentaries: a perfect evening.

I enjoyed the show. But there was some technical difficulties where she sounded muffled! But I loved her beautiful voice. I enjoyed Adam Blackstone featuring Eric Roberson on a couple of songs Jersey was definitely happy! Home grown talent!

It was an amazing show. The band is great, and the way they moved around and invited guests was fun. It was great to hear old favorite songs. Everything was amazing. I wish I could go again!

This was an awesome performance. She showed up from the opening to the end. Class act and the girl can sang!!! Just simply beautiful will sure see her again. God bless her

Atif rocked the show! Continuous performance for 4 hours and his song selections and Melodies were all hit. Sang his iconic, folk, and classical songs. He played solo guitar and the production was outstanding. Much love from your Indian fan 🤗

Great place to see a concert, parking was easy. My wife and I have seen Diana twice before this show at Count Basie in Red Bank and both shows were great. This one had a lot of slow songs and never really seemed to get going. Her skill on the piano is excellent but wasn’t really showcased, a lot of guitar solos. Still a good show but not up to par with the previous two we attended. Just an opinion.

Best Alice Cooper show ever. He just keeps getting better. And Nita and the boys shredded my face off again as usual. And of course Glen Sobel blasting out on the drums, keeping it all together.

Alice Cooper and his band was fantastic last night Awesome showll Allce & his band are one of the best In the music business The best in putting on a show!!I love the story telling I will definitely go see Alice again and again and again!! That's how good they are Until next time!!🙏❤😃🌝🇺🇲☮🌟🌟🌟

This show was beyond amazing. Thank you Lindsey for bringing Christmas, humor, and true beautiful stories together into one awesome night. I would go that show and night again if possible. Your dancers, pianist, drummer and of course yourself really made my mom and my night. Thank you!

I loved it!! Best event, concert, day of my life!! There was truly a strong connection there with Stays and Stray Kids! It was such a different experience seeing them right in front of you with your very own eyes as oppose to through a screen! I will never forget this memorable moment, the concert was around 2 hrs 30 minutes and it passed by like 10 minutes!! It was so fun!
