First, I'll say that the show wasn't terrible. Kids would probably give a different review than me because we see things differently as we age. The first act of the show was definitely Nutcracker, but the second act must have been something else. The dancers definitely worked hard and I applaud them for that, but it seemed like a dance recital to me.
Now, the reason I was annoyed was because for about the first 15 minutes of the show late comers kept strolling in, blocking the performance for me and my kids. They blocked the isles, took LONG to find their seats. It was very distracting. My kids kept trying to navigate their heads around the figures in the dark trying to see what they missed when others were applauding.
KINGS THEATER please, give people like 5 minutes grace period then keep them out till the 2nd act. I definitely don't feel like got my money's worth.
