Battle of the Dance - Anaheim, CA

Have you ever gone to Medieval Times or the Pirate dinner show?  This is worse.  Considering the cost is $45 for the show only, $60 for the Gold level (includes dinner and show) and $90 for the Platinum level (closer to the front show seating and dinner), I don't think this place will be in business for much longer.  I usually like to support the local businesses, but this one needs a lot of work.  Here are my thoughts on this:

*The principle dancers are pretty good, specifically the males.  The chorus dancers need some work.  They can be compared to high school level dancers at best.  I can't totally blame it on the dancers, but more so on the choreographer and/or the director.  They need to build up the dancing as the show goes on and maybe mix up the music a little.

*The best parts of the show were the shadow puppet guy and the ventriliquist.  They were pretty entertaining.

*The dinner isn't worth it.  The starter is a choice of soup or salad.  The salad is advertised as a shrimp salad and only has one shrimp on it.  Get the soup, although it is a salty vegetable soup.  The entree choices were mahi mahi and chicken.  I was cautious and ordered the chicken.  Big mistake... it was so dry and was served with cooked carrots (that seemed like they were frozen ones) with potatoes that had no flavor.  Dessert was the only good thing as it was a pin wheel cake of some sort.

*The theater felt like they started building it and ran out of money.  The stage itself was nice and the lighting was good.  The seating area was cheaply done and the waiters serve you on the same level you're siting on... meaning if they are serving, you can't see anything on the stage.

Bottom line is that you should save your money.  No amount of alcohol will make you feel like this is worth it.

Have you been to see it?  A penny for your thoughts?
