The venue that I went to had good seats and was big enough for all the people but you could hear the show next door which is very distracting when you are trying to enjoy a show. 

The show itself is about a boy named John who is in hospital. He imagines he's a super hero, Super John. John imagines he must get the Orb of Invincibility to become strong again. Meanwhile his sister Star is getting very frustrated at all the attention her brother is getting. Neither of them get along but can they join forces to defeat the evil Heema. 

The actors were very good at switching characters and doing facial expressions. I felt it probably had a good storyline, but I didn't have a clue what was going on half the time. Also some bits were a bit boring. I think children eight and under would enjoy this more.
