A breathtaking evening! The general atmosphere, the welcome, the efficiency (at the bar!) and above all the quality of the fabulous show. Costumes, staging, special effects and sets... and of course the voices, all excellent! Not to be missed.

A classic, but now a little out of date. Still, it's nice to have seen it before it ends in July.
