5.00This was both an educational and interactive show. Brandon, the host, the other employees, and the sumo wrestlers were a joy to interact with. Due to an injury, I was not able to take part in the challenge with the wrestlers, however, it was fun to watch other audience members take part.
Amazing fun for the whole family!
