Post subject: 2 quickie questions- acrobats and a restaurant

Im headed into Shanghai on Saturday and staying until Sunday. I have to entertain some business guests. They are interested in 2 things- an acrobat show and a Cantonese/seafood restaraunt. Ive heard there are a few acrobat shows though one person told me the one at the Portman is the best.
1. Which show is the best in your opinion?
2. How can I book a reservation?
3. Will it be difficult to get in on a Saturday night?
3. How much is the show.
-----------
A friend recommended a restauraunt though he only knows the address: West HuaiHai Rd 458. He says its the best for fresh seafood (which my company would like to eat). Anyone know the name, telephone number? Is it a good Cantonese/seafood place? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Shanghai Centre Theatre and Yunfeng Theatre offer acrobat performance too, but I don't know if they are good or not, at leat you can have a try.
as cantonese food, you can try Zen at Hongkong plaza, or Guo Bi Peng Da (thai hotpot plus seafood, but kinda expensive), facing Hilton hotel.

The Shanghai Centre Acrobats are excellent! Unless there are alot of you, I do not think you need to make a booking. I have been twice and just bought tickets before hand, plenty of spare seats. Maybe you should go there a little early, say 7pm (starts at 7.30pm). Cost is 80 RMB per ticket.
