The tour was AMAZING! The kids loved it. Our Tour Guide was totally awesome … with quips and anecdotes and crazy information that the students lapped up. The place, though, stole the show. Two massive Wicked props, sweeping top stalls, light shows in the Concert Hall and lavish dressing rooms. They will never forget this experience: made our country kids into thespian-ites for life.
