My husband and I went to the Hyatt Regency New Port Beach last night to watch Christopher Cross for the Summer Concert Series. The drive was beautiful. The line to enter the hotel has to be more organized. There was traffic coming from three directions, but the gentleman was friendly and led us to the parking lot. The gentleman that was doing the parking fees was friendly and very helpful. $30 parking fee for the hotel. Staff inside were friendly and helped my husband and I to where the concert was. The gentleman putting the wristbands on was friendly, professional and we enjoyed the small talk with him. A nice woman helped us find our seats. The seats were uncomfortable, and very tight where we were sitting. A nice couple we sat by was fun to talk too. Christopher Cross did not come out until almost 8:30pm, when he was scheduled to come out at 7:30pm. There was another artist singing , and it was relaxing and enjoyable to hear.
While waiting for Christopher Cross to come out, there was this drunk woman arguing with this man about a seat, and a bit of drama irrupted, but they solved it quickly.
When Christopher Cross came out, he seemed like he really didn’t want to be there. He didn’t say anything, and started singing. I was disappointed to not hear him singing “Alright “. His back up singers did more. Would of loved to hear him, because it’s one of his best songs I enjoy.
But then he sang my favorite, “ Never be the same, “ Sailing, “Swept away, and “Arthur’s theme”. Loved his new songs, and his humor during the concert.
Christopher Cross is a legend, and for my husband and I to see him is absolutely a gift. Gorgeous weather coming out, and throughout the concert. Clean, elegant bathrooms. Not a line or long wait.
Highly recommend to get an aisle seat if coming. We sat in the middle, very close to Christopher Cross. Except for this man’s big blow pop head in front of me, then when he got up, there was another person with a big Homer Simpson head blocking my view of Christopher Cross.
A beautiful, elegant atmosphere. Very fancy, and Summery. I rated 3 because of the friendly, professional staff, Friendly parking workers, beautiful, clean bathrooms, gorgeous weather, beautiful, elegant atmosphere everywhere around us, friendly, fun couple we sat by, easy access and fast exit out of the parking lot. The only things was the traffic coming into the hotel should have two lanes to let more event customers in quicker instead of blocking traffic, the seats, those hideous drunk people, Christopher Cross coming out late, and him not singing “ Alright”. Other than that, my husband and I were very pleased with this lovely, dazzling, and elegant hotel.
Thank you for welcoming us. We will be back again for another Summer Concert Series in the future.
