Everything was well organized, we got in real fast in spite of the queue, the theater was very nice, the stage was well-seen from anywhere, buffet and bathroom was easily accessible, only the airconditioning was too much, it was a little cold inside. And the most outstanding was the play itself with perfect directing, astonishing show elements, and of course the wonderfull highly talented actors, who also were very friendly to take selfies after the show. It will be an everlasting memory for us.
