I really enjoyed the show. The scenary was beautiful. I am always intriqued as to how the performers do what they do. The clothes changing duo was fascinating. Great time.

This was a wonderful show for the holidays! I took my mom and she was thrilled. We sat in the rear orchestra and I was concerned that the seat would not be good, but they were actually excellent! I'm not sure there really is a bad seat in the Opera House. It is an great venue. The show is about toys under the tree coming to life. There are really neat circus acts - juggling, balancing, tumbling...absolutely amazing! There are two small children in the show who are phenomenal. I would definitely recommend this show for adults and children.

I can't help but think that the posters for this show make it look more exciting than it is. I also can't help but think that I saw the same exact show at Busch Gardens last summer minus the Christmas stuff (which is possible since the director does work for theme parks sometimes). With that said I still enjoyed the show. I liked the part with Father Christmas and the little girl. At times she looked unreal like an acrobatic doll. I also liked the part with the bells where the chef guy interacts with the audience. It was too funny. Finally, we all enjoyed the quick change artists. Being up in the second tier you'd think you would see some of how they do this act. But no, it is still a mystery as to how they can change so quickly. I definitely think I got my money's worth but I wouldn't have paid full price for this show and I would have sat closer.

i didn't know what to expect and yet left a little disappointed. Some of the acts needed to be tightened up such as the jumprope routine. I truely enjoyed thw wardrobe change act, it keep me guessing the entire time. The singers had great voices, but i think could have been used in a different way. I think some of the acts did not mix with the lyrics of the music. Even though my review may seem harsh, I think I got my monies worth, but glad I didn't have to pay full price. The location of the seats were dead center on the second tier. Great view and awesome scenery
