The show was great with a mix of comedy, singing and gymnastics performance. Food was also good in taste and overall management was also good.

It's small but this works to its advantage by creating an intimate environment. These performers are true professionals! It was obvious from beginning to end that they take their craft seriously. I was thoroughly entertained. My jaw dropped! The vending staff were friendly and welcoming as well. Kids will love it.
