Mallorca's No1 Show
About The Show
'Pirates Adventure'
is a show that has entertained over 3 million customers in the last 30 years, featuring world class acrobatics and incredible gymnasts, all in a purpose built theatre! The theatre is a famous landmark in Mallorca and a mecca for tourists and residents alike. Built in 1985 on open ground, it has been continually adapted and updated, to provide a distinctive and atmospheric venue.
Known as the 'Ultimate Dinner Show', you are taken on a magical journey, through a time when pirate's ruled the Seven Seas! The tickets include the show itself, a two course buccaneer's feast and unlimited drinks! This particular show is suitable for all ages, but there is also an adult version, if you're traveling without children. There are four different seating categories to choose from, to suit all budgets and there is even a VIP experience with a backstage or 'below deck' tour!
When we were invited along to experience
Pirates Adventure
, Mallorca's number one show, I didn't know what to expect. Everyone I know that has ever been to this show, absolutely raves about it, including Ian, who went when he was younger. However, I just couldn't understand how it could be 'that good', looking at the size of the theatre, the ticket price and knowing that so much was included within the price, food and drinks etc. I figured it would probably just be a nice evening, with a bit of entertainment and some snacks......I couldn't have been more wrong!
Our Experience
Outside the theatre, there is a plenty of free parking, but as it is such a popular experience, it is best to get there early, especially on sell out nights. Don't worry though, there is other parking available in the area to. The Box Office where you collect your tickets, is found on the entrance to the outside waiting area, and this is where the entertainment starts! First you are offered the opportunity to buy your very own Pirate bag, complete with weapons (plastic don't worry haha), pirates earing (child friendly), pirate spyglass, hook and treasure (chocolate coins haha)! The cost for one of these is €15, so we went for just one, so that the children could share and get excited. Before you start to make your way to the front door, the photographer will snap some different photos of you all, with no obligation to buy, in front of the cool Pirates wall. There is no flash photography inside the theatre, to protect the performers. One flash during their performance, could distract them and cause a serious accident but don't worry, because if you want some photos inside, the photographer comes around after food and before the show, to snap some more! You don't have to go searching for these at the end of the show though...the staff come around with several different photos taken from the night, printed in a lovely Pirate frame. You can purchase these there and then if you like, but again, there is no obligation to buy!
The entertainment begins before you even enter the theatre. The cast of the show, greet you outside in full character! They not only build the excitement but have everyone in fits of laughter and this continues while you're sat at your table, before the show starts and through the intervals! We were escorted to our table and straight away introduced to our dedicated host for the evening, who explained everything and showed us where the gift shop, toilets and bar etc were, before taking our drinks orders straight away!
Let's talk about the food and drink! There is nothing worse than knowing you have table service but still waiting around, but I can't see that ever being a problem with your visit. There are so many staff working, particularly through the busy food service and interval parts of the evening, more importantly they were organized and have very efficient and proven processes, to make the evening run perfectly. Our dedicated host, checked on us regularly and whenever the table's drinks were low or needed refilling, all you had to do, was turn the jug upside down. We had enough time to settle in and have a small drink and before we knew it, our food was automatically brought to our table.
The drinks were unlimited soft drinks, sangria and beer. The food was brought together, hot, well-cooked and with everything that we could have needed; seasoning and sauces etc. Chicken portion, chips and corn are served for the adults and the kids enjoyed the same meals, but with chicken nuggets. The meals were served with lovely bread rolls and desert was a selection of two different flavored ice cream pots. The quality and quantity of everything was really good, especially if you consider the price of the tickets. We would have paid the ticket price for the entertainment alone, so the value for money is incredible.
Let's talk about the show! The theatre is set up well, so that wherever you are sat, you have a good view of all the action. The show doesn't stay on the stage though! These guys really make use of the space, so if they are not on stage, they are flying through the air, running up and down the aisles or performing just in front of you! We expected a good show after reading all the rave reviews but honestly didn't expect it to be THAT good!
The athletes of Pirate's Adventure are the best we have ever seen. The tricks and stunts we saw that evening, were more impressive, than anything we have seen in the Olympics or Britain's Got Talent. With so many different talented performers working together, continuously throughout the show , you are constantly wowed. Our immediate response following the show was,
"We have never seen anything like it before. The whole experience from start to finish is funny, sexy and awe-inspiring!"
We really loved that the whole show had a narrative, a story that we all followed from start to finish and we really felt a part of it. At the start of the show, the audience is split into different crews and allocated a captain, so that you can cheer throughout and be involved, without even leaving your seat. The experience of the cast shines through, in addition to performing a perfect show, you can see the many years of hard work, that must have gone into perfecting their skills. At the same time, every single person, gives 100% effort and energy, as though this is the first, last and only show they will ever perform.
