Olympic Lanes, Milwaukee, WI
(Friday Night)
Olympic Lanes has a large and open venue with a small staging area which makes it easy to see the singers. The set up, however, causes those signing up to sing to walk in front of the performers, which is awkward and distracting.
Three monitors makes it easy for singers to face patrons on all sides, and roam occasionally. The Sound system is great for the audience, but the feedback monitor for the singers seemed lacking. While the program format is the alternating Single Song/Music Video variety that keeps the show moving, it also runs the risk of losing the serious karaoke patron. Music videos shown in between singers was of the current Pop variety and seemed louder than necessary for the size of the room and crowd. Audience response to performers was adequate and respectable. Drinking “Sociables” was encouraged, and at the time of this review, smoking was permitted.
This karaoke venue is for the casual karaoke singer and the 20- something crowd.
