The show was amazing from start to finish. I haven't even the Netflix show, but that didn't matter. The cast were amazing, especially the leads. Staging and special effects worked so very well. I am so glad my friend selected this show. Sitting in the stalls made in so memorable.

The seats in the theater were an imposition! My knees were right up against the seat in front of me. You sat crammed into your seat for the entire performance.

This was the most enjoyable stage show I've seen in a long time. I was nervous because our seats were so far back, but the view was still good. It was exciting with the most spectacular special effects and also funny moments when actors joined the audience at various times.
