I just cannot place my finger on it..... if it was the arena's seating arrangement, where at some point in time during the show, no matter where you were seated, you were not going to get a good view of a particular act. Also, when there were more than one act going on at the same time, that was most confusing as to where to focus one's attention (far less the kids!). Perhaps my expectations were a lot higher than they should have been, but then again, my two daughters (4 and 5 years old) were more trilled by the cotton candy treat than the show!
