As to whether the cost is worth it - that is, of course, totally subjective - but I will tell you about our experience. I have seen it several times (love it - but those were all on solo trips, so the money expended was not like those with families). My dad was coming with me on a trip so I got tickets for us. When we came out of the show, my dad said "That was fantastic - want to go see it again tomorrow night?" And we did! We just love it. But you must balance the expense involved (especially for a familty) with what you enjoy.
