    My friend is usually hard to please as his tastes in Music and entertainement are very different from the majority of people and had poor experience of Vivid previously. He was absolutely ecstatic with this birthday surprise and raved about everything on the night:presentation and comfort to enjoy a great meal, the show captivated his attention and the Vivid drone Show was the icing on the cake, well done Showboat!!! What a Night with you!!
