I have downgraded my review from two stars to one star on account of the behaviour of the theatre management. I left a similarly underwhelmed review on TripAdvisor. The management respondent, I thought rather disingenuously, pretended to doubt that I had even attended this performance (which, I can assure you, I did). This is a particularly sneaky trick as, once you leave a review on TripAdvisor, you can no longer amend it. The result is that the Management's pretence that I hadn't really attended and so could not possibly have a genuine worthwhile opinion is the final comment to have been published on that website in connection with my review. Here follow my genuine opinions: I was bitterly disappointed in this tired lacklustre offering. Any show unwise enough to christen itself "Wow" leaves itself an unhappy hostage to fortune. "Dear God, What Have I Done to Deserve This?" would have been a more appropriate title. The set is in critical need of a repaint. The cast did their best with the featureless narrative (if you could even call it a narrative). This really does feel like a kids' show masquerading as something suitable for adults, which I am afraid it most certainly is not. Most demoralising (and, frankly, embarrassing) were the desperate and futile attempts by the clown main character to generate any kind of audience enthusiasm. The whole evening had me cringing in my seat. This is an offering, which has disastrously overstepped its sell-by date. It isn't so much terrible as rather boring and horribly dated. My thanks to a committed cast who did what they could with this tired, miserable piece of tatt. People with disabilities should be aware that this theatre is completely ill-equipped for their requirements. What would happen to a wheelchair-user in the event of a fire does not bear...

Don't waste your money. This performance will put you off ballet for life, if it your first time.
No panache about the theater. Was handed a hand written paper slip as verified ticket for entry. They were just herding in unsuspecting tourists to the slaughter!
The bar takes only cash, so you can't even drown the pain you are about to be inflicted in cheap beer or wine they serve, if you rely on digital means to pay for things.
The production was awful with poor set and lighting. Music and dance was poorly synced and painful to watch. The dancers, most of them, appeared to have just been pulled off the street that night to perform. It was not Ballet!! The dancers had their wigs falling off and costumes falling apart at very compromising parts. A couple of dancers were good, but they were in minor roles. The lead characters were awful to watch. It was more like a first year dance college performance, when the dancers had just started to learn. What a scam! And waste of money & time. I wanted to introduce one of my daughters to the joy of ballet, but unfortunately, it might now be hard to convince her to see another performance. What a travesty!
This company, I guess, only survives because of the tourists in a city...
Read moreמופע יפה מאוד מעניין, ומשתף את הקהל בהרגשת העלילה של ההצגה. כדאי מאוד להיכנס ולצפות. אורך המופע כשעה. מופע ויזואלי קסום ומרהיב, שבו הבמאי נותן לקהל לראות רק את מה שהוא מעוניין שיראו. המופע מתקיים בחושך והדמויות לבושות ומאופרות בצבעים זוהרים הנראים רק בעזרת המנורות האולטרא סגול שממוקמות באיזור הבמה. בשלהי ההצגה הקהל משותף במשחק הדיפת כדורי ענק ובמגע עם השחקנים המחופשים לעכבישי ענק, ובפיזור בלונים ועוד אפקטים שונים כגון שלג מים ועוד. ממש שווה לראות ןלהשתתף. חוויה נעימה. מומלץ. ללא מילים. A very nice show, and shares the feeling of the plot with the audience. It is very worthwhile to go in and watch. The length of the show is about one hour A spectacular and spectacular visual show in which the director lets the audience see only what he wants them to see. The show takes place in the dark and the characters are dressed and made in glowing colors that are visible only with the ultraviolet lamps located in the stage. At the end of the play, the audience is engaged in a game of giant balls throwing and contact with the players disguised as giant spiders, and dispersing balloons and other effects such as snow water and more. It's really worth seeing and participating. A pleasant experience....
