Definitely says non-linear, which is the perfect way to describe this. Definitely has a very good core of performers, with many surprises up their sleeves. And there's never been such an early show, with such an exciting and random ending like that. True respect from me, a autistic to the disabled performers as well. I would hope it could make it big somehow. Absolutely amazing.
