To me they have a kind of Cirque meets rock & roll look to them. The entire look is VERY theatrical.

Obviously this is someone who thought The Warriors was a documentary.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm just really tired of seeing Alice stuff everywhere.

And these costumes definitely seem a little rave-ey to me. I know that there's always going to be the drug associations with Alice, but it's interesting that they're not shying away from that culture with the costume designs. And Alice herself just looks creepy (and way too old). Hopefully the final product will look better.

Who knows, this may be super fun. Or a super flop. Only time will tell.

Originally Posted By velo my kids LOVED ElecTRONica - mostly for the music, dancing and atmosphere (though they weren't particularly into the movie). Not so sure about this theme though. Unless the music is really good I don't thing they'd go back for it.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt You can ask your kids what they think about the live show set list: I Gotta Feelin’ (Black Eyed Peas) Sir Duke (Stevie Wonder) Don’t Stop Believin’ (Journey) Shout (The Isley Brothers) Hot Hot Hot (Buster Poindexter) We Will Rock You (Queen) Please Don’t Stop The Music (Rhianna) Locomotion (Little Eva) Call Me (Blondie) Get The Party Started (Pink) Dancing Queen (ABBA) American Woman (Lenny Kravitz) This is the sort of generic dance pop that gets played by cover bands at corporate parties around the globe - very tame yet recognizable and the kind of music that should have everyone dancing. Of course the win or fail will depend on the talent and skill of the people on stage.
Originally Posted By velo yeah, I showed them the list. they think it's a little odd.... they're in the 15 - 20 y.o. category and they think it seems focused more on younger kids. They love to dance though so who knows? I tend to think they'd go once to check it out - but maybe won't want to do it a second time?
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Well color me confused...How does that music relate to what the heck those performers are supposed to be wearing? LOL! I mean, sure I used to dress that way in the 80's. When I worked at a metal club. Before Nirvana invaded.
Originally Posted By Yookeroo "This is the sort of generic dance pop that gets played by cover bands at corporate parties around the globe" Yeah, that's the problem. The current DJs aren't exactly cutting edge, but they're still a huge step up compared to "generic dance pop that gets played by cover bands at corporate parties". This is a set list that would work in the tradition of Tomorrowland nighttime entertainment. What I liked about ElecTRONica, and even Glowfest, was that it was a different option to the blandness that Tomorrowland offered. "yeah, I showed them the list. they think it's a little odd.... they're in the 15 - 20 y.o. category and they think it seems focused more on younger kids." And their parents. Maybe even more their parents than the kids. Almost all of that setlist is from the previous millennium, isn't it? It's like tuning into an oldies station. Funny, I like most of the songs in the setlist, but I hate it as a whole. Some of those sprinkled in a set would be great. Or some remixes. But a cover band playing that set? Yawn.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Yawn, yes, but like most things of this nature the success will really depend on the lighting, sound, and showmanship of the performers. We'll see.

Originally Posted By ksargen I've come to the conclusion that this "T Party" is an oddly themed attempt to carry on something like Glofest with a more "Disney" theme. At least the preview duds looked that way. And yes, very 80's neon black light party...
