They had wine tasting in the lobby the time I went to see Tommy Castro and friends. It was pleasant, and the crowd was lively. However, it was just too dang loud. I'm not a prude, I have been to concerts so loud your insides would vibrate (the Who), but for a fairly intimate setting, if they are giving out free earplugs, it's too dang loud. Plus, the melody gets mushed into a wall of sound rather than each part being distinct.
My wife really enjoyed the musical theater experience there, but she went with a friend so I don't know specifics of what was good/bad.
On the other hand, we went to Reno a few weeks ago to see Pentatonix. The room was fantastic, the band was amazing...but... the venue sucked big time. It was held in the Grand Theater at the Grand Sierra resort. Seating for 1800 cruise ship style (tables and booths). Unfortunately, they waaaay overbooked the venue, and with no assigned seating, you had hundreds of people milling about trying unsuccessfully to find a seat. Boo. I would estimate at least 500 people ended up standing for the show. We ended up totally crammed in a booth. No warning on the tickets at purchase. At least I got to share an elevator with three of the band after the show and thank them for a stellar performance.
Pentatonix would be a perfect act to bring to Folsom as they appeal to a large swath of people. I saw 60 somethings, pre teens and everything in between. Definitely a show the whole family could attend. And lively...no PBS "golf clapping" allowed.
