Lets get something straight right now, this is not a boring cooking demo that you pay money to see Robert cook and talk about his shows. If you want that, watch his shows and watch him demo something on youtube. This is an interactive experience with a chance to participate on stage, learn something, have some fun, and get a chance to meet one of the nicest people alive. If you read the other reviews, they talk about Chad which is the host of the challenges, an MC, and the challenges. Everything was put together by Robert and his crew. Everything is also paid for by Robert and his crew. All proceeds from the show go to benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation that gives all proceeds and work to Wounded Warriors. You will also read a review saying the show didn't start on time. OH WAAAAH!! Who cares? Show times are a goal to aim for, but they hardly ever happen on time, get over it.
Robert went around several times through the audience to talk to people or to have a laugh. He tried to make it as interactive as possible. He also got a group of random people to sing to the Veterans in the crowd. He tried to make it understood that regardless of your views, you should thank a Veteran. Also, nothing in the show is scripted. They try to make it a unique experience to each area. How do I know this? A member of the crew came through the autograph line to talk to folks about the show. He explained what it's like to do the show and to work with Robert and how nothing is scripted. This entire group puts on a wholesome and warm show and tries to accomodate the crowd. Robert did the show and then stayed for an extra 2 and a half hours for autographs, photos and to talk to people. And guess what, he had to drive to another show and start another Restaurant Impossible round the next morning. At most, he would get 3 hours of sleep in the car.
The show was a lot of fun and was much more than a cooking demo that you could get at a community college. Did they have a technical difficulty or 2? Yep, but I believe Metallica has had several over the years, and they're one of the biggest stage performances of all time. Did Robert try to make his show something more than who he is and what he believes? Nope. If you want something raunchy or you want a Food Network show, go somewhere else. Go to the show if you get a chance, have some fun, and expect fun surprises.
The reviews bashing this show are not an audience feeling, I assure you. Everyone we could see had fun and were thankful for the experience.

The premise of the show - Live cooking, Dinner Impossible type challenges, audience participation was all very intruiging to us.
Robert Irvine was charming and funny, it was the production itself that was horrible. Three screens overhead so that the roving camera man could capture the action. He somehow kept forgetting it was his JOB to capture the action. We had views of the MC's back, the floor, Chef Robert's feet - it was ridiculous! The MC only focused on audience members that were in the first couple rows, so if you were any farther back, you had zero chance of becoming involved or being picked for anything. "Chad", the robotic screen hog who was handing out 'challenges' was simply annoying and on the big screens far too much of the time, which again, kept you from seeing ANY action that was going on on-stage. Poor seating with everyone all on one level. All short people like me suffered from an inability to really see much. Waste of money. I actually dozed off during one of the last challenges. Too bad, because we thought it was a fun idea, whose poor execution killed it.

From what I can tell, Chef Robert does these shows after he finishes shooting his Food Network show in the area as he had just finished 2 tapings nearby. Show started late, which was ironic given that all he does on his show is play taskmaster. Our show was run by an on screen computer named Chad that laid out challenges and tasks to Chef Robert. Problem is, they were stupid. In one for instance he had 15 minutes to prepare a dish but only after escaping a straight jacket. In another, he brought somebody up on stage and had to cook with him handcuffed front to back (almost like the old Whose Line Is It Anyway bit). The camera work was also poor, people in the audience at one point had to yell for the camera people to shoot what was being cooked so we could actually see what was going on. All in all, while interesting, I would have rather seen some pure cooking with audience interaction then some of the stupidity I saw. The other people in my party rather enjoyed themselves though.
On the flip side, the Event Center at Four Winds is beautiful. Great place to see a show. Staff is very polite. Bar service is great, they don't nickle and dime you to death.

We had an absolutely terrific time at Robert Irvine Live! Many people may know Chef Robert from Dinner: Impossible and Restaurant: Impossible. This show is an amalgam of the Dinner: Impossible concept along with audience participation and the creation of some incredible cuisine. If you're a fan of Mr. Irvine's, you're going to thoroughly enjoy this show!

I wasn't sure what the show was going to be about....maybe cooking and talking about his experiences with "Restaurant Impossible". Anyway, the show started really loud. I wasn't expecting a 2nd rate off the strip Vegas show. Why did he need an MC? Couldn't he cook and talk? And again, why so loud. The overhead screen that was placed to show what was going on in the pans was not HD....everything looked faded and grey. Show was way too loud and way too rude. Waste of time.
