So judging by the most recent blog poll, y’all want concerts at the Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC).
The question becomes what kinds of concerts are you most interested in? Obviously, UCPAC has plenty of concerts throughout the season, but what kinds of concerts would you prefer? There’s also the question of what two voters consider to be “other.” Magic shows?
With now more than 250 readers subscribing by email and the average number of daily visitors creeping toward 200, I thought for sure we’d hit triple digits on the number of votes. After posting it, I realized I could’ve been a little more creative and added more options. I blame myself mostly; I just copied what we used in the last UCPAC poll. We could have added some other offerings, like kids’ shows or dance, for instance.
“What would you like to see at the Union County Performing Arts Center?”
Concerts, 43 percent (22/51 votes)
Comedy, 23 percent (12/51)
Movies, 19 percent (10/51)
Plays/Musicals, 9 percent (5/51)
Other, 4 percent (2/51)
Results weren’t radically different from when we asked this poll question two years ago, but for about twice as many votes and a more decisive margin for concerts.
Mark, I'd like to add to my vote "concerts where the performers were born AFTER 1950." Note to UCPAC management: when Atlantic City is booking younger acts than you, you should realize that you have a problem.
Lets not re-invent the wheel. UCPAC should connect with the promoters who handle the State Theater in New Brunswick and the Count Basie in Red Bank. They both offer a good mix of concerts and events…
-People can get a concert anywhere, okay?-They come to UCPAC for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That's what the flair's about. It's about fun.
I went to a very nice Christian/ Clean comdey show in Dec. at the ucpac very much enjoyed myself along with my wife and children can't wait till they have another one i'll be back.
