Absolutely phenomenal! The music, acting, singing, set and costumes were all stunning. We could take it all in from our seats almost as far back as the theater goes.

The preformance was breathtaking. Every actor was perfectly cast. The singing and acting were truly magical. We had a great view. The only negative point was that a whole group of people came in to the theater while the preformance already began. It was a minor disruption. But other than that we had a great time.
