As a non Spanish speaker it was just as thrilling with the exquisite songs and costumes. The audience was primarily families who were thoroughly entertained. Featuring a cast of predominantly African descent added to the atmosphere and their voices were magnificent. Cheers

It's amazing—the lighting, the colors, the beautiful costumes, the music, the acting, and the procession through the aisles—it really draws you into the musical. I highly recommend it; you have to see it at least once.

The show was great, but the play was terrible—such a shame, a total letdown—and the popcorn was awful and way too expensive; even if they’d given it to us for free, it would still have been a rip-off, and on top of that, it was such a waste to have to throw the whole thing away.
