Complete Waste of Money

by Wanjama at Citysearch

Attended a Pinnocchio show. This show is purported to last one hour. It lasted 45 minutes. All tickets are $16- including children. They shoud have more competitive rates for the young ones.

Puppeteer prides himself on using indigenous materials to make his puppets e.g lamp shades, wooden spoons from Salvation Army, but c'mon, I could have done this myself and set up a show for my guests right at home. The puppets were simply TACKY. The whole set up was an eyesore e.g faded cloth material and the like.

$64 later, I would have been better off taking the kids to watch a movie instead. Will never go back again...you have been warned!!

• Pros: Ample parking
• Cons: Overpriced, short duration of show, low quality performance
