No communication beforehand about how to get the tickets, usually with other bookings we get sent a message with our tickets, or a message with instructions on how to pick them up. We had to send a message before the show asking what was up and how to get the tickets we booked

So many different talents presented at this show, and some truly skilled veteran performers from opera singers to musicians to acrobats. The mask-changing was amazing! We paid extra for the VIP experience and I'm not sure it was quite worth how much more expensive it was, but we definitely loved getting seats right up front -- great for photos!
