What I liked

I very much appreciated that actors were keen to ensure audience members were involved in the action at all times. I normally try to make sure I’m able to interact with characters often, but at this one I didn’t need to because there was always some character that was either coming up to me or at least making sure that I was able to see and experience what was happening. Also, such energetic performances from the cast! A maelstrom of drama unfolded from all angles and it was nearly impossible not to be caught up in it. Oh, and there was food and drinks! Your choice of hamburger, hot dog, or vegan dog plus sides and also a drink. What a great deal on top of an already fun and engaging show. Ooh, and the whole play on nuclear radiation fallout as a metaphor for Covid, as well as the way different characters reacted to it, was done cleverly and respectfully. Kudos to all cast and crew that took part in this.

What I didn't like

Honestly, the biggest mistake here was my own. Two of the sides were kind of watery and when they went on my plate it made my hamburger buns ultra soggy. Don’t be like me and end up with soggy buns.

My overall impression

A fun show that’s so worth the price! Considering you get an immersive experience with plenty of interaction AND you get a full on meal and drinks, it’s hard to find a better bang for your buck.
