It’s worth the trip.

The show is stunning. 
Of course, they bend over backwards to push the "possible gay" aspect. 
Because…well….today you can’t put on a show that’s not swimming in fem, gay, trans meaning.
The homo aspect is obvious to anyone with eyes. The wink wink, nod nod, DEI hand wringing is tedious.

Nonetheless, it manages to be an amazing show.
Mostly because the King loaned some stellar pieces.
