Top class entertainment in beautiful surroundings
Reviewed on
The experience of the performance was excellent. It’s a unique and exciting treat that I look forward to every summer - to be enchanted by superb acting in the beautiful surroundings of the Botanic Gardens. The actors put their hearts and souls into delivering a first class performance. It was flawless. Thank you to every one of them…. And yes, it was what I expected, the performances are dazzling every year. This year was extra special with the joy of unexpected and fabulous singing!
Improvements:
* For Itison - there were no code numbers for the tickets on the print out of the QR codes. This caused consternation for the stewards, and I did not have the original email with me (which DID have the ticket codes). It was embarrassing to be singled out and questioned about this.
* For the park - keeping the toilets open till the end of the performance -
Highly entertaining, brilliant performance and overall, a fabulous evening.
