For an evening that cost over $300AUD, it did not feel like value for money.
The food was OK, it oeaked with the entrees and went downhill for mains and dessert. Nothing terrible, just average, and what you'd expect in a mass-dining theatre show. Service staff were incredibly efficient. Given the cost of tickets, the direct request for tips for service staff was a bit off-putting. At a very low estimate, (seats at table x 18 tables per section x 5 sections) they must be taking in $100k US per show. They should be paying their staff adequately instead of forcing them to rely on tips. They can do what they like though obviously.
The seating however was terrible. This is where the advice comes to don't bother going if you don't pay the extra USD $10 for the VIP seats.
I have attached photos of my view of the stage. I reckon I saw 20% of the show.
Luckily the music was good.
