If I am able to go to a show here, I pretty much just go without trying to figure out too much about whether I will like it. I always do.

In the weeks leading up to the event, Anil was super helpful with everything in terms of planning down to the smallest details. I could tell he wanted to make sure that this was the most special of evenings for my partner and I, and in the end I can't have imagined hosting my wedding party anywhere else. Surrounded by gorgeous art on the walls and romantic fairy lights, we were served dinner and drinks while music played at the perfect volume in the background. I honestly felt like such a princess; every time I would try to adjust something to my liking it was quickly picked up for me and the hosts made sure to check in with me frequently that everything was going smoothly and on schedule. Even though I was very scattered and forgetful, Anil kept up really well and even walked across the street to buy us all champagne for the toasts that I had forgotten to bring beforehand. We had our first dance on the little stage by the door as per Anil's suggestion, and it was so intimate and lovely. It made for the greatest photos, too. Although I have yet to attend a music or art show at Lille Aeske, I feel like I truly got to experience the space at it's finest and feel blessed to have been hosted by Anil in his beautiful "little box" for my special day. Thank you so much for being a part of what turned out to be one of the best days of my life! I would highly recommend checking out Lille Aeske, for their own events or to host one of your own.

With the exception of Quasimodo (sp?), I did not think that the voices of the leads were as strong as I have seen at other performances.

We were aiming for an exciting, colorful city nightclub-like environment, maybe even black-lighting on the dance floor. But HOW could it happen? We chased down DIY and professional service options--but they were all either paltry or too pricey. At last, a friend told us to check out Legend Theatrical in Scotts Valley. From our first conversation with them--and then all the way through their design, installation and teardown of the black lighted dance floor and colorful uplighting along the walls--Dave and his team were true pros. The truth about Legend Theatrical is that they're very creative, responsive and well-priced--and produce magical results. Guests entering our party were so wowed by the lighting, they instantly began grinning, shouting, and making dance moves--even without without any dance playing yet. Magical!

It comes with 4 chairs and the option to add two more and the ability to order concessions prior to the show that get delivered to your table. As we showed up, big parking lot as it's located in the mall lot. Nicely done- 5 portapottys inside the tent, little concessions stand and souvenir section. The inside is small, but the seating gives you and your guest plenty of space between you and others. The show is mythical, more of fairies, Pegasus, snow daughters and such, but is an amazing experience for the whole family. Lots of acrobatics, cute little costumes and lots of laughs- especially the Pegasus! The staff is friendly, and it's just an amazing experience. My girls 3&5 said it was their favorite circus yet! The snowball fight was their favorite part of the show, and the trampoline act. We can't wait to come back next year! Definitely worth the drive, and a bargain for the show!
