It was good, don't get me wrong and my visitors from Canada were impressed as they had never been before. However, I was aware that a few things were not working and we seemed to skip a few rooms designed for a talk. Overall the actors were fantastic and we still enjoyed it, it's just the fact that there was a lot that was broken/ skipped
