The House of Dancing Water - Macao's HK$ 2 Billion Production

Hey! I'm back :) I was going to blog much earlier than this, but unfortunately my internet decided to have a tantrum...As the House of Dancing Water was one of my first favourites on my Hong Kong trip, I decided to start off with writing a review about this first.

Tickets for the Water Show
Within the casino City of Dreams, you can find the House of Dancing Water, a famous water show. It features ballet, acrobatics, drama and romance, pretty much everything you could ask for. With tickets costing about $801 HKD, or roughly £75-80, it's on the more expensive side, but is definitely worth the extra.
The Water Stage
The storyline revolves around a sailor who is dragged into a parallel world. He rescues a Prince trapped within a chest. This Prince then meets a beautiful Princess who is trapped in a cage by her evil stepmother, and basically tries to save her. Eventually the Princess defeats her evil stepmother and elopes with the Prince, and the sailor becomes a King of this realm.

Boat Emerging Showing the Deep Pool
The visuals were absolutely stunning, with amazing water stunts and beautiful dancing. In my opinion, the first 10-30 minutes were the most impressive, with a beautiful soundtrack and water stunts. The story began strong, but starts to weaken throughout the show, with sometimes confusing and dragging plotlines. Despite this, I really thoroughly enjoyed listening to the soundtrack, and the ballet sections were spectacular. However, with regards to the actress playing the evil stepmother, I thought her acting was a little weak and needed more confidence and believability. The dance scenes with the evil stepmother were also less impressive.

The Pool Also Transforms into Walking Platform
You really have to appreciate how hard all the staff members worked to pull off this water show. It's definitely worth another visit and if I was to visit Macao again, I would try to schedule in this water show again.

If you love your soundtrack music, I highly suggest you give the House of Dancing Water a listen on Spotify!
