Review: The Script performed at the Fox Theatre in Oakland

Isn’t it weird how most English speakers sound American when they
sing, even if they’re not from the United States? The Script, from
Dublin, Ireland, is no exception; yet their Irish charm makes them even
better than similar American bands.



The Script, headed by lead singer Danny O’Donoghue performed at the
Fox Theatre in Oakland Friday night, on what was their third trip to the
Bay Area in the past year.

Hot Chelle Rae opened the show and performed their hit song Tonight Tonight as well as some songs from their upcoming album. Who knows, maybe these guys will be super famous one day?



After a buildup of flashing lights, drums, and guitars, O’Donoghue came out and launched into You Won’t Feel a Thing, a song from their most recent album Science and Faith.

This was my second time seeing The Script (I saw them back in May)
and seeing them again was definitely worth it. While some bands sound
worse live, The Script sounds even better in person, and O’Donoghue is a
phenomenal performer and entertainer.



They played lesser-known but still fantastic songs like Before the Worst, Dead Man Walking, and We Cry as well as more popular songs like The Man Who Can’t Be Moved and the current radio hit Nothing, which had most of the audience singing along.

One of the great things about the Fox Theatre is that people can buy
floor tickets and be within twenty feet of the stage for a fraction of
the cost of floor seats at bigger venues. And smaller venues are so much
better anyway; I can’t imagine The Script playing in a huge arena like
HP Pavilion.



The smaller venue allowed for a better connection with O’Donoghue,
who would sit on the stage and let the fans sing into the microphone,
and enabled one of the band’s drummers to take a picture of the crowd
for The Script’s Twitter.

And, of course, since they’re from Ireland, the band members shamelessly drank beers while on stage.



The final songs of the night were, unsurprisingly, The Script’s most famous ones: Breakeven and For the First Time.
I found myself wishing that they’d continue to play more of their
songs, but clearly that was not to be. I guess I’ll have to wait until
the next time The Script comes to town. It probably won’t be very long.
