The ticketing propose was easy - seat selection and price availability was clear. The welcoming theatre staff quickly greeted my husband and me upon our arrival. The staff was informative and checked us in so we could head to the theatre which was beautiful. Our stage seats were amazing... definitely recommend it. The show was beyond festive, and the entire performing members, orchestra, and crew were all talented beyond expectations. It is a Star Performance and a must-see!!! Thank you all.
