I really enjoyed this show. The special effects were absolutely amazing! Our seats were located towards the back and each time fire would light up on stage, we could literally feel the heat as if the fire were right in front of us. Yes, majority of the show is spent talking about Criss. You will learn everything from his birthdate to every tv show he's been on, his up bringing, and ALL of his accomplishments, but overall it was great. He also dedicates a portion of his show talking about children with cancer and encouraging everyone to donate. It was pretty emotional. Honestly, there was only 1 trick that left me speechless. The rest were common tricks that you see everywhere, but I give it 5 stars for being extremely entertaining, funny, and such dramatic special effects.
