I got to see the show today! I actually really liked it with little connection to the Fantastic beasts property. Different than what I thought it would be. Happy to answer any questions about it.

How long was it? How was the puppetry and special effects?

How long was it? How was the puppetry and special effects?

There is a preshow which was about 5-7 minutes long and the actual show was about 20 minutes. Some very cool magic effects in the preshow, with an appearing effect that blew me away for a second. The actual show has some really cool puppets and costumes performers. Also an unexpected but amazing set changes that the whole audience reacted to.

Do you need to have seen the Fantastic Beasts movies to enjoy and understand it?

No but it would help you know some of the creatures and characters in it. I’ll give some spoilers here

Spoiler: Heavy Show Spoilers

The story of the show is that the Ringmaster Skender has stolen Newt Schamanders suitcase that he houses the beasts inside.Newt makes an appearance along with several beasts from the film.

Don’t know a single thing FB/HP related but think this is a dope show. Technologically amazing.

People are sleeping on this as the second attraction. Hope it gets proper attention from the GP when it opens.

It's got fantastic beasts and here you'll find them.

There's a particular moment in the show where the audience will think "magic is real." Overall wonderful show and the queue is very interesting—theming is done so well.

I am very curious to see it.
