- They where amazing
- Phenomenal performance
- Wonderful seating. Great staff. The dancers and costuming were magnificent and sound system was excellent. We did get free parking but it wasn’t well marked so we weren’t sure how to access it. Better instructions would be appreciated.
- My wife and I enjoyed it very much. The dancers were very skilled and the entire presentation was well orchestrated.
