You're expecting a big show to fill a stadium. Just appreciate art and a way to bring people from anywhere in the world to the theater. Loved it.
A poorly staged show, An old-fashioned style. Perhaps adequate entertainment at a birthday party, but not in a theater. Disappointing and poor compared to the company I saw a decade ago. Presentation impressively come unless, not worth our time.
I went to see the play. This theatre operates on Nov 1, 2025 and I was very disappointed, me and my family. The idea of black theater seems to me to be a great idea but they didn’t know how to bring sketches to life. They were very long sketches that bored and very childish. They weren't fun.
For children it is a nice experience. For adults the content seemed poor, boring, with bad sound. I start half an hour late and considering it is an international company I expected more. Anyway... I wouldn't come back.
Very very disappointed! We cramped in a small and no air conditioned room to torture ! The show is out of date and no fun at all. We cannot feel any humour from the show and it is very boring like 60’s !
So awful we left the theater at intermission. Based on the advertising we expected an artful, energetic and visually inspiring show. Instead we were subjected to amateurish comedy that was dreadfully boring. The various "skits" seemed to go on forever and were just mind numbing. I emphatically recommend avoiding this disaster, and if I could, I would request a refund.
The how is cute but the theater is hot inside and they turned off the fan. Some acts need editing as they drag on too long and humor becomes lame.
The truth, it should be a must-see, level and magical You have to go with an open mind without looking to discover the form of charm Highly recommended
We attended this show on a Rick Steves recommendation. The theater is a bit difficult to find, even with Google Maps. That being said, it was an enjoyable experience. It is a small theater and we recommend sitting towards the back so the illusions, which are pretty cool, are not compromised. It is a skit show. Some of the skits were funnier than others, the funniest moments being when the actors interacted (without vocabulary) with the audience. It was a good time and we would recommend .
Would highly reccomend. You don’t need to know Czech as the show is pretty much mime. One for all ages. The place was full of 6 year olds when we went there and it was a great atmosphere The show itself is held in a historic theatre with an amazing jazz club sharing the same building
