The area
Address
Neighborhood: Stare Mesto (Old Town)
One of the oldest neighborhoods in town represents the medieval heart of Prague. It’s no surprise it is bustling with tourists every time of day. Križovnický square, overlooking Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the background, is probably the most beautiful square in the city. Its unique historical atmosphere of gothic houses and churches, cobblestone streets and squares, and stone towers blend together with the modern era. A vast array of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, international brand shops, galleries and hotels bring life to the old city. With its charming and picturesque cobblestone streets, the nightlife and parties will surely be unforgettable.

My partner and I decided to go to this show during our visit in Prague. We bought it through "get your guide" and paid about £40.
Overall, we were really disappointed and felt like we had wasted our money. You get a glowstick and and bottle of water as you go in - nice touch. It started off well but then the performance became quite boring as it was a repetition of similar music. The 'story' (if there is one) is hard to follow. Especially towards the end it seemed very random. Several groups of people got up and left whilst the performance was still going. If we had been on the end of a row and not disturbing others then we would have done so. Perhaps this is more for younger children and not for all.

I can only imagine that the people writing good reviews about this show went with their children, because it’s clearly aimed for children. But still there was a child sleeping during the full show. It was so boring. There was no story. Just random things happening that made no sense. The actors seemed thy had no energy at all. Too expensive for what it is.

Before going on, I was bitterly disappointed in this show. I took my husband to see it and was surprised at how shabby and lacklustre it all looked. The set is in critical need of a repaint. The cast did their best with the featureless narrative (if you could even call it a narrative). This really does feel like a kids' show masquerading as something suitable for adults, which I am afraid it is not. Most demoralising (and, frankly, embarrassing) were the desperate and futile attempts by the clown main character to generate any audience enthusiasm. This is an evening, which has disastrously overstepped its sell-by date. It isn't so much terrible as mind-numbingly boring and horribly dated. My thanks to a committed cast who did what they could with this tired, lacklustre piece of tatt.

Impressed when I saw it a few years ago but they are now in a cramped basement. There were no emergency exit signs, and the thought of a fire made me uneasy. First section was an inane skit that had nothing to do with the Black Light. The magic section was good but not enough for us to stay after interval.

the entrance costs about 550 czech krona which are about 21 euro.
the show is without any plot or a story (even though they're claiming there is a story) it's nice to see the unique performance at the dark but without any story you lose the interest pretty fast.
I think it's not worth the money. but if you wish to expericance the black theatre you should go.

Good way to spend an hour in the evening if its cold! Entertaining show. Good interaction with the audience including being rained on in the theatre, bubble machines and dancers coming out into the audience. The story was quite confusing but the illuminations were generally effective and impressive, although disappointing that you could see the people operating them in black quite a lot of the time. Parts of the show felt like they needed polishing, for example there was some noticeable mistakes in the choreography of effects and dances, and it did not always feel like the dancers were giving their all - however the lead male dancer was absolutely amazing. I would not go again but had an enjoyable experience, and we felt we were welcomed warmly and our attendance was appreciated. Overall I would recommend this experience, especially for families with children.

Lacklustre, unimaginative, sleep-inducing, the black light theatre show failed to WOW in every sense of the word.
The acting was tragic. The main character was meant to be a child however nothing about their performance and mannerisms indicated that.
The dance routine was basic and unimpressive. It could have easily been made up by 12 year olds (and probably performed with more enthusiasm). I was also expecting more spectacle like acrobatics and more impressive lifts to go alongside the dancing.
The narrative failed to excite and was so abstract that I feel like like none of the audience really knew what was meant to be happening throughout.
The only positive was that we were expecting a 2 hour show so once it had ended after 1 we were relieved to escape from the torture.
I would only recommend this show if you suffer from insomnia because it will send you off to sleep quicker than you can say “wow”.

Not sure how you got to 2 hours show, as it is stated everywhere that it takes 65 minutes.
Have a WOW day, cheers, Ziv

Interesting, unique show. Great music and visual effects, lots of interaction with audience - I especially enjoyed one of the scenes at the end (just don´t want to spoil surprise for you). Definitely recommended.

I knew I wanted to see a Black Light Show while in Prague, and I was having a hard time picking one based on all the middling, uneven reviews for ALL the shows. I heard complaints about shows being too loud, too crude, too boring, too confusing, too amateurish, and with too much filler.
I finally decided to see WOW and I'm really glad I did. The show was a perfect 60 minutes long, and there was no filler and no crude humor.
To be fair, you should not enter the theater expecting to have your mind blown or to have a sophisticated theater experience. However, for me, this was an entertaining show in a unfamiliar medium. I was excited to see the ways they used various techniques to produce different, surprising effects, fully taking advantage of Black Light theater. It was a fun show, visually stimulating, and well worth the price of admission to experience this novelty.
