This show is so boring. Everyone in the theatre was falling asleep. People were leaving early and on their phones. The dancers bow about 100 times; they do the same thing (spinning throughout the entire show. No imagination has been used in this show. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.I was far from the exit so I couldn't escape.

It was a very interesting and beautiful experience. We collected our tickets from the ticket counter in Hodjapasha theatre. We got fantastic seats. Theater was easy to find - it is clearly visible from the main street just before the Koska sweets shop if you approach from Sultanahmet. Come at least 20 minutes in advance as there is a queue to get inside which moves fast and you get free refreshments as well.
