The music was so loud it gave us headaches and made our ears ring. We had to get earplugs as did many others. A shame because the performers are very talented. Ridiculous to have the sound that high. We were going to bring a large group down in October, but we will never go there again and are spreading the word.

What a GREAT show! We enjoyed all of the singers, musicians, and dancers. Everyone was so talented. It was a very entertaining show. We especially enjoyed the All That Cloggers and the comedian, Ricky Mokel. (We opted for the "Flex Seating" and were very happy with the results. The seats were cheaper, but we did not get to choose them. The manager assigned them the day of the show. Our seats were very good. The show wasn't a sell-out on the night we were there, but I think any seat in the theater would be good.)

For the last hour of the show everyone sat around swaying back and forth. Terrible. Try a little harder. The first hour was great. The cherographer needs replacing
