Trinidad - Mickey's Magic Show / Disney
What is your review for Disney Mickey's Magic Show in August 2009, Centre of Excellence, Trinidad?
I took my oldest son today to see this show live. When I reached inside the Centre of Excellence at Macoya, I could not believe the lines. There was a lot of people but not enough to fill every chair. I wanted to get some pop corn or cotton candy for my son and when I reached the place where they were selling them (Trinis were selling the stuff with CLOSE supervision of Disney personnel....no I am not kidding, the staff was literally checking every move of the sellers ensuring they were selling the items at the right price). Anyhow, when I got closer to the place I saw they wanted for a small bucket of pop corn $50TT. My eyes could not believe what I was seeing, just because the bucket had Mickey Mouse on it. I shook my head in disbelief seeing the Trinis literally pushing and buying the items like if it was the last day of their lives. The cotton candy (small bag that included a disney hat) cost $60TT. I was speechless as I saw people buying 5 or 6 at once and giving it to their kids and relatives. No questioning on the price whatsoever, buying from 3 items and up and spending over $200/300 for the items. I refused to pay that kind of money for an item that I know is NOT worth that price but Trinis were like blinds, buying, buying and buying. If that's not idiocy I do not know what it is.
Anyhow, to the show now. It's a young group of actors and dancers who did a very good job. If you or your kids are fans of all Disney Shows this is the type of entertainment they will enjoy. Lots of great tricks: Cinderella's transformation from rags to princess within seconds, Princess Jasmine levitating between many others. Expect to see Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald Duck, Goofy, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter, The Little Mermaid, Sleepy Beauty, between others.
Illusionists Brad Ross and Alex Gonzalez did an excellent job on the illusions presented, very professional work.
The show lasted a little over an hour and a half. If they come again to present a new show, definetely I will return.
