Private Events: Fully Customized and All About You

Want something exclusive? We offer private show bookings at all of our official locations. You’ll have the flexibility to personalize aspects of the show, make special shout-outs, and create a one-of-a-kind evening for your group. We also offer the option to bring our show to your private venue — whether it’s a banquet hall, family property, or rented space. Just keep in mind that we provide the performance, but not the catering.

Public Shows: Easy Planning for Smaller Groups

For smaller parties or last-minute plans, joining a public show is a great option. We can reserve seats or sections for your group, and you’ll still be part of all the action. It’s less planning, more fun, and just as memorable.
