★★★★★3 years agoAmazing and very funny show. I would recommend it for all kids and adults. And if your kid has a birthday I recommend you say so at the check-in so that Guignol would song happy birthday at the end of the show. We even got to visit the back stage where all the magic happens. Kids were amazed and happy.
