text: I would give this stars if the vertical battle was livebut I knew going into this show that it would be a projection and bought the tickets anywaynnThis show is amazing The athleticism and production are nothing short of spectacular The performers abilities to maneuver on the revolving stage is something to marvel at There is so much to take in at this show that a second viewing is probably in order The performance does occasionally extend out into the audience such as the pre show and some of the battle scenes nnThe story is very cohesive and easy to follow Every performer has their moment in the spotlight to showcase their athleticism Well almost every performernnThis leads into the epic vertical battle scene near the end that is now displayed as a projection against the vertical stage because a performer tragically fell to her death during a performance I applaud their attempt to ensure further safety to their performers but that battle scene is definitely missed The projection is blurry making it hard to distinguish the performers from each other save for the imperial twins due to their green and red costumes nnYouTube KA live battle scene and you will be able to see what really happened during that battle scene For instance SPOILER ALERT I did not know that the forest creatures and the glittery dude were aiding the twins in battle I thought it was the Imperial guards versus the tattooed archers And the princes body guardcompanion was also lending them a hand here too I also knew the counselors son was taken down by the twins in this battle but I could not make it out clearly from the projection So because the LIVE battle was cut you do not get to see the counselors son display his athleticism in the show His other scenes include walking around with a huge bravado laughing maniacally and making grand gestures with his arms Such a shame because the performer was so good in this role Also the firefly boy glittery dude and the creatures did not get much time to do some cool aerial scenes Sure they had some trapezeish moments in the forest when they make their first appearance and while they were very beautiful and graceful they were really tamednnThe soundtrack is also incredible There was a blend of opera rock ballads and hyms I particularly love the music whenever the counselors son was center stage the rock opera number was so grand and powerful and portrayed his character so vividly Again the performer did a phenomenal job in this role and such a shame that he did not get more live time due to the cut scene The other comedic twins chaperones maybe served as comedic relief and had some interesting scenes They also even got their moment on the VERTICAL stage nnSo despite the blurry projection this show is still worth seeing Prior to the show I knew the epic battle would be modified but I got to admit that when the projection came on I was still a bit disappointed nnAnd finally there is not one bad seat in the theater My party sat in section side seats row GG and we could still see everything The theater is not massive and the revolving stage allows everyone in the audience a clear view nnEnjoy
