___________________________________________________

 Review  -  so I did not manage to buy tickets -simply the online ticket shop did not work for us .

 I read that it was wonderful show . However some big mistakes were made as many people with tickets were not allowed to enter   . The guards told that the area was full . I wish that such shows came more often - with better organization !
