I went to the Halloween party at the Cicada Club with my boyfriend It is a party you have to pay to attend. Its not what I expected at all.First the positive. Dean Mora's orchestra was excellent and played wonderful music. The place has a beautiful interior. The rest really was very disappointing. First of all, the decorations were really corny and cheap, I don't know who choose them The floor show was the Satin Dolls. They were so cheesy, I was really not impressed, neither was my boyfriend. We have seen much better around LA. The Satin Dolls did not just preform once, they had to preform four or fix times, each time it just got worse. I would expect something more high quality from Maxwell Demille. I think this is the very problem that is bringing Cicada down. No enough acts like Dean Mora, many many semi professional acts that Maxwell Demille can hire for cheap. I don't agree with the other reviews before that he is a mean person to customers. I just don't think he is very social. He spends most of the time MIA or off in some corner doing something with a computer. For some reason the people that attended were either really snotty or really creepy, I had so many old men staying the rudest comments to me. I really hope they clean this place up.
