“The show itself was fairly nice. It was not very long and they only let you record for a couple mins towards the end but the performers were very professional and were very committed to the performance that it seemed real and there was absolute silence in the room. If you have some free time, then you can certainly go see the condensed version. It’s not very expensive and definitely worth the money.”

“It was fascinating to watch the ceremony. Quite mesmerising. The little booklet we were given helped to understand a little of what we watched. It was lovely to have a short time at the end to take photos. My driver was friendly and drove well.”
