We’re a costly group; we break many rules; it’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme\, my dear.” \nLaser Show\nShow runtime is approximately 46 minutes\nGet Tickets \nClick here for the Laser Queen Trailer \nThis show may contain flashing lights or rapidly changing imagery\, affecting photosensitive viewers.
