It is highly recommended to arrange an itinerary when coming to Sentosa. This is the most exciting water dance show I have ever seen in my life. It combines technology and lighting and is hard to see anywhere else!

i would highly recommend getting an express pass if you are going to universal studios on a weekend or on public holidays as there could be long lines to each ride. We were able to ride everything and still had time left to explore because we did not queue.

it was a really fun experience. it felt more like a concert than musical as the whole show was very engaging with the audience. I love how they storytell the women behind Henry VIII, made it so fun.
