Guests holding tickets for the morning show had begun queuing at this time, under the arrangement of the staff.
Outside, many onlookers who did not have tickets were still unwilling to leave.
"Please don’t worry, those without tickets who wish to watch the performance at Joy Grand Theater can queue at this ticket booth to purchase tickets. We are currently selling tickets for three days from now, and there are only a few left, so please hurry to make your purchase."
The street parade and opening arranged by Xiaoxiao attracted many people. Everyone believed the performances inside must be spectacular. Seeing that the ticket prices were not too expensive, they all queued up to try. Although they could not watch frequently, the price of a single ticket was still affordable.
Some people adopted a wait-and-see attitude, waiting for those inside to come out to ask about the situation before deciding whether to buy or not. Regardless, the situation outside was very good.
Xiaoxiao had specially arranged for people to explain the ticket pricing issues, such as why there were different prices, because seats differed in location; front row tickets were more expensive than those in the back. Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded, even if unused, as it could disrupt further sales, and so on.
Xiaoxiao saw that the outside staff had handled everything very well, so she also entered the theater.
Inside, everything was also organized in an orderly fashion.
"Please walk slowly, don’t rush, everyone has a seat. Your tickets have numbers on them, so please take your seats according to these numbers. After sitting down, remain quiet, and do not make any noise. Making noise could prevent you from hearing the actors. Please cooperate, thank you."
Everyone was amazed by the design inside the Grand Theater, Yixiang Courtyard had completely transformed in such a short time. The entire indoor hall had been opened up, extending the space even further. There was a large drop-down stage in the front, and rows of closely-spaced seats in front of the stage, but not too crowded, and each row of seats was progressively elevated, allowing everyone a clear view of the big stage.
This arrangement saved more space, allowing the hall to accommodate more people.
"The performance will start in half an hour, those who need to use the restroom can go now."
Everyone took their seats as directed by the staff. Not only common folk came, but many officials and nobles as well. They had traveled far and wide and seen many things, but had never seen anything like Joy Grand Theater, and a look of anticipation was in their eyes.
Xiaoxiao glanced over the audience, noting few female guests among mostly male attendants, which was expected. However, it did not matter, as one day, the Grand Theater would become a place that men, women, old, and young would all like to visit.
Several front row seats were reserved for Han Yongsheng, Guo Feng, and their families. Xiaoxiao walked over, smiled at everyone, and joined them in waiting for the performance.
"Please remain quiet, the morning performance at Joy Grand Theater is about to begin." Staff members reminded the guests all around.
Suddenly, the grand curtain on the stage was pulled open.
As the music started, about ten girls came on stage, wearing exotic costumes and dancing cheerfully. It was an opening dance showcasing various dances, solo dances, and couple social dances, all of which dazzled the audience.
At the end of the song and dance, everyone struck a pose, and then the curtain closed, and the performers left the stage.
The curtain was pulled open again, and two hosts appeared on stage.
"Hello everyone, I am the host..."
