Q: positive

A: I would give this 5 stars if the vertical battle was live...but I knew going into this show that it would be a projection and bought the tickets anyway! This 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. The story is very cohesive and easy to follow. Every performer has their moment in the spotlight to showcase their athleticism. Well, almost every performer. This 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. YouTube KA live battle scene and you'll 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 prince's body guard/companion was also lending them a hand here too! I also knew the counselor's son was taken down by the twins in this battle but I couldn't make it out clearly from the projection. So because the LIVE battle was cut, you don't get to see the counselor's 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 didn't get much time to do some cool aerial scenes. Sure, they had some trapeze-ish moments in the forest when they make their first appearance, and while they were very beautiful and graceful, they were really tamed. The soundtrack is also incredible. There was a blend of opera, rock, ballads and hyms. I particularly love the music whenever the counselor's 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 didn't 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. So 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. And finally, there is not one bad seat in the theater. My party sat in section 201 (side seats), row GG, and we could still see everything! The theater isn't massive and the revolving stage allows everyone in the audience a clear view. Enjoy!

A: Supporting our local businesses requires some effort and Bomas is in the area. It's early evening on a Sunday and there's probably one other party dining there when we arrive. I go with the Chicken Piccata "Chicken breast sauteed with white wine, garlic, lemon juice, capers and fresh mushrooms. Served with roasted red potatoes and vegetables." for $14.95. I was actually surprised with how tasty my chicken was, and for it being the breast part, it wasn't dry at all. My potatoes were quite the red ones that were advertised, but it served it's purpose. The Big F ordered the Ribeye Steak "A 14 oz. steak with cracked black pepper and garlic then broiled to your specifications, served with baked potato and vegetables." for $22.95. It was actually too big for him and he had leftovers! Our dinners also came with soup or salad. Soup of the day was cream of mushroom and it was a tasty soup alright. Lots of cream in it and I almost regretted that I chose the salad instead. I had requested for the dressing on the side, but it ended up on top. The vinaigrette was pretty tasty over my salad though. The Caesars salad is an option too. Service was standard. Our waitress looked like she may have been handling something else other than the two tables because she looked overworked. Overall, a simple meal in a simple place. Nothing special, but it worked for us. 3.5 stars (Pics are posted!)

Q: negative

A:
I really wanted to like this place, but just couldn't. Pizza was blah...I think there were three strips of basil on the margherita and the whole wheat crust tasted like cardboard (Brixx is much better). The atmosphere was ALMOST hip...but they had these framed posters of tomatoes and basil leaves which didn't seem to fit. Our server was very nice but completely ditsy...she brought one pick thingy for the fondue for a table of 10. Anyway, just really wasn't all that awesome an experience.
