Enjoyed the show, Seal was entertaining and did a selection of his own and other peoples' songs. Has a great voice and engaged the audience throughout the performance. Well worth seeing.

Just the best show. Until I saw him at the State I was not a big fan. He gave "110%" A gret show, with great back up.
Michael Paynter is a talent undiscovered yet.
Go Michael and thank you Seal for the introduction to Michael Paynter.

I wasn't sure how much I would like Seal - the reason I was there was that my wife is a big fan & I'd baught tickets for her! The show started well then slowed a little but after a few of numbers both the crowd (myself included) really got into the performace as Seal & crew really began to liven things up! The covers from his latest album really added an extra dimension to Seal's performace as they added a different sound (not so much the minor chords which seam to dominate much of his work). Seal brought real life & honesty to his performance with some short but touching exchanges with the audience & he encouraged participation & drive it wiht his on stage energy & the energy of his music & sining which really built during the performance. Highly recommend you give this guy a look if you get a chance. He can only improve I think!

Actually was disappointed. The highlight of the evening for us was the young guy who sang before Seal - Michael Paynter. We thought he was a real talent.
Seal didn't make the most of his two most well known songs: Crazy and Kiss from a Rose. The only ever got momentum and hit any sort of crecsendo during Crazy and there was no lead up to that feeling, nor nothing after - it just came crashing down. The two guys that supported him were very good/talented and worked in well, but the backing vocals to support Seal should have been stronger. The women horn section were great, but again, lost opportunities. They were off stage alot of the time. I get they were there for the soul songs, but why couldn't they have been backing vocalists throughtout.
The young guy on bass and piano is talented, but there was a point at which his key board was over powering Seal's voice on one song - sounded great if you wanted to profile him only, but Seal was fighting against it and that wasn't the objective me thinks.

Also Seal spent far too much time being intimate with the front rows/people lucky enough to be in the stalls. Us poor suckers in the mezzanine had to be content with being voyeurs to what was for all intents and purposes, something in which they weren't involved. State theatre should make it clear when you're booking tickets that you'll be sitting on your butt all night, without the ability to groove.
Not good all up - saw Sting in the same venue a few years ago - left this for dead in terms of production, humour, working with the audience. Even Donny Osmond was a better entertainer.!

My husband and I travelled to Sydney to see Seal and he sure didn't disappoint us! He is an amazing artist, and his interaction with the audience gave his show an intimate and personal touch. His voice and presence are inimitable and after listening to him for over 20 years, he still sends shivers up the spine!! WOW! We will be the first to book the next time he comes to Aussie, and we will definitely fly to Sydney as the State Theatre was the perfect venue.

Seal was genuinely brilliant, and presented himself in such a warm way. He was receptive to his audience and filled the theatre up with his warmth and beautiful music. Stunning artist and a great individual, made you truly appreciate his music on another level. His beautiful soulful music is unique all the music on the current market, and made you just cherish the times when you felt great in your life. My only quarrel was that I wasn't able to stand on the top tier and dance with the other folk up front.

We had the most amazing night! Seal was amazing, his voice, his personality and his band. I have waited almost 20 years to see him live and I was thrilled with his performance. He had the audience in the palm of his hand right from the start.People of all ages were at the concert and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves to the max! I hope I dont have to wait another 20 years to see him again.

seal is an excellent performer
but unfortunately the view from the balcony in hamer hall
was terrible, seal stood too far forward on the stage
so it was impossible to see him.
