See the 5:00 show at the Corral! Terrific!

I'm not sure which show the previous reviewer saw. We were in town and saw the 5:00 show, 'Tragedy At The O.K. Corral', which was in a word, AWESOME. The show began on the street, with Wyatt and Morgan Earp confronting the villains and telling them to leave town, and forcibly disarming one of them. The confrontation led to the Earps kicking Ike Clanton out of Big Nose Kate's saloon and forcing them down to the O.K. Corral site. Everyone on the street was witness to the commotion going on and it was the first time that I as a spectator, felt like I was PART of the show! The Earps, then joined by Virgil and Doc Holliday, went into the Corral area where a short play was held, depicting the start of the fight from the Clantons and McLoury's point of view. Of course the climactic showdown was the gunfight itself. Nothing boring here, folks. It was the best time we had in Tombstone! After the gunfight, the crowd was invited back to Big Nose Kates for 'questioning', which was a big party where the cast of the show reenacted famous scenes from the 'Tombstone' movie and mingled with the crowd. There was even a 'catfight' between the two rival saloon songstresses! Excellent!
We had a great time and will DEFINITELY be back for more.
To whoever organized this show, thank you much!
And to the fellows who played 'Doc' and 'Wyatt', thanks for making it special.
