This was our first time at the Fox for the Karen Newman Christmas on Woodward Avenue show. We have attended her show the past few years at a different location, but this show at the Fox was so awesome. The beauty of the Fox was just the right ambience for the show. The children were so good and Corey Roberts was so amazing as well as the very talented Sonja Lee. This show certainly puts you in the Christmas spirit. Wonderful job with the Choir and the chance to hear so many talented people. I hope this show continues at the Fox for years to come. We look forward to her show every year!

We were looking forward to our night out to see and hear Karen, we think that she has a great voice and we were looking forward to a good Christmas Show. Unfortunately on many of the songs she sang the combination of the background singers, choir, and orchestra simply drowned her out and she couldn't be heard. We came to hear Karen, not jazzed up solos by the band or church revival singing by the choir. When Karen did sing a solo or when the back-up group was actually "back-up" we got our hopes up but were quickly disappointed. When the band played their solos it was hard to tell what they were playing most of the time, it seems they were more interested in showing off "their version" of the music and not the way it was written and intended to be played. I would love to see a show with a small group of back-up for Karen but too often the back-up was much louder than the "star". This was not a good start for our holiday season, in my opinion, not enough Christmas music for a holiday show, we were disappointed. One last thought, Karen's first dress was holiday appropriate, the last two were not, no hint of Christmas at all.

This was our second year attending Christmas on Woodward Avenue and we are hoping to make it an annual event. The spirituality in the presentations was awesome and it was great seeing the children sing. Our seats were about halfway back in the theatre, and we still had to plug our ears when the band was so loud (especially the reverberating drums) that you could not even understand the words to the song of the gospel choir. Corey Roberts was a highlight as was the amazing Sonja Lee on the violin. Thank you Karen Newman for bringing us this great show.

Having seen this show before I was pleasantly surprised with the new arrangements. I appreciated hearing the fresh spin on some of my old favorites. This show had a new Gospel feel compliments of the Choir which was featured much more prominently this year. there was also an opportunity for each musician to showcase their individual talents. I thought the most amazing moment was the duet with the young tenor.... corey something. that song brought the house down and left everyone wanting more.

What a great show! Great songs, great band, great back up voices and a great venue.
All 4 of us loved the show. Karen's performance was the best ever and her back up talent was the perfect choice. We especially appreciated the song selections as having the true message of Christmas with fantastic contemporary arrangements. Well done!

Five Stars!!! Karen was again a delight for the holidays. She played to a well deserved full house. We go to many events at the Fox, and Fisher and decided again to see her this year. Her show is definitely a family production and it has improved. As she adds a little more "floor show" to it the demand will even grow greater. It really is a "must see" if you live in Detroit and want to feel what a "Detroit Christmas" is like. Karen continuously relates and refers to her audience which makes one feel welcomed and personal. She "ad-libs" a lot which is wonderful. Even Mr. and Mrs. Clause appeared. Her musical staff is outstanding rivaling any on Broadway. I few more cute "duet" numbers added would really make this show dazzle. The crowd did long for an intermission as many commented that a "bathroom break" was needed. She sang, "Take me to a Place" with a young Detroiter (now in New York) which was incredible ! The costume changes were noteworthy as Ms. Newman's wardrobe was fantastic !!! ....and WOW....what a voice" !!! A simply delightful way to celebrate the Christmas season !!!

Karen Newman and the whole ensemble of Select of God gospel singers brought Christmas to the Fox Theater. Her musicians were fabulous. It was Christmas music arranged with an upbeat Motown flavor. My guests said that it definitely had that Detroit Motown feel.

This was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. Karen's voice was absolutely incredible. WOW! WOW! WOW! - everything was perfect. The arrangements of the Christmas songs were especially awesome...and the duet of 'The Prayer' with Corey Roberts was as good as Josh Groban and Celine Dionne. 'The Prayer' and 'Ave Maria' were so powerful.
Oh and the Selected of God Gospel Choir took the entire program to a whole 'nother level.
This is the first concert of Karen's I have ever seen and I can say she is as good and better than some of the mainstream artists. Karen was so generous with her band, backup singers, the choir, the children....she is nothing short of perfection.
This was one of the best monies I have spent on a concert in a long, long time..
THANKS AND BRAVO KAREN!!!!!

I have seen Karen Newman's Christmas concert six times at Andiamo's over the years. This year's concert was her best yet. The combination of her background vocalists, musicians and arrangements made the 2012 event a roof blaster! Unbelievable talent at it's very best. If you book these particular seats, sit at the end furthest from stage for best viewing around equipment.

The Karen Newman Christmas show was amazing. It may be the best and most meaningful live shows/performances that I have been to. I hope that the Fox Theater makes this an annual event. Everything about it was just excellent. There was no way you could leave and not be ready to celebrate Christmas.

Karen Newman, Michael King and Gia Warner bring christmas songs you've heard time and again to life in a unique way
by December 21st you've heard it all but these fresh adaptations make the show worthy of seeing year after year.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Karen Newman Holiday Show at the Fox Theatre. Karen sang beautifully. Her backup band played fantastic. Karen's music director, Michael was a true artist. The stage decorations put you in the Christmas spirit. The big surprise near the end with the choir from the Chrysler commercial was the icing on the cake. My husband and I would definitely return for Miss Newman's show next year.

WOW - the show was SO much more than I expected. First - our seats were the best - 8ft from the stage - dead center!!! Second - Karen and her band were totally awesome and the extra sweet 'icing on the cake' was having the Selected by God Choir join her - phenomenal! I hope this becomes a Christmas tradition as I will certainly make it one for my family.
I wish I could get a recording of it - some of the original songs would be my new favorites & their version of some of the tired old usuals was refreshing and breathed renewed life into them! Way to rock out Little Drummer Boy...pa rum pa pum pum!
Only advice to make it better - the staff should have told the "heckler" after his 1st outburst that this was a concert and not a Q&A session!
