All A Performance

The history totally got lost in the performance of getting everyone involved in a show. I feel like I am still no wiser as to what happened in Amsterdam. The main focus was getting someone from the crowd involved in each performance which felt uncomfortable and forced.

Surprisingly Good Time

My girlfriend took me with her to the Amsterdam Dungeon. It thought that this was really something for kids. But the show was awesome. The Amsterdam Dungeon is really funny and a bit scary!
