Tips

  • The first 3-4 rows directly in front of the stage/near the stage are the splash rows meaning the audience sitting here should expect water splashes on them during the show performance so be prepared for the same and come ready for it in case those are your tickets. 
  • It is suggested to book the tickets in advance because they are expensive and in high demand, so they sell like hot cakes and if you want to grab one for yourself you should purchase them well before-hand.       
  • It is especially fun for kids, so in case one is traveling with them, that is all the more reason to bring them along and definitely watch this show.
