I live in Israel and have wanted to come to this place for years, but I was really disappointed. Museum "exhibitions" 1 and 2 are mainly audiovisual, with very few artifacts. I don't why the rooms ar…Full review by lasha205

The original show ("Night Spectacular") is more broadly about Jerusalem, whereas the new show ("King David") is about Elton John. :-) Seriously, these shows might be for you but I was so seriously underwhelmed by the NS show last year that this year I didn't even consider the KD show. As for the basic facts... both are 45 minutes long both cost 65 NIS (or 140 NIS for VIP tix) both are guaranteed to be cold if you dressed for the daytime If you haven't found them yet, look up the official promo blurbs on each, from the Tower of David web site: /en/the-night-spectacular/ /en/the-king-david-show/ In my own opinion, I'd say save the $20-$40 USD and meander across the street to the little museum at Christ Church behind he cafe. Let Moshe or Rodney tell you all about Jerusalem for (at least!) 45 minutes, and then either donate the ticket money there or buy lunch to eat in the cafe courtyard and enjoy a cool quiet hideaway from the crush of commercialism. Again, that's just what I would do. I hope you have a great trip!
