Went to the circus with the family Wednesday night. Yes, its been a busy week, skiing, circus, homework.
It was interesting to me to note that the circus format has been updated since we last attended two years ago. The show has added lots of special lighting and digital special effects. The show is more upbeat and fast paced with music. The new format however did not detract from the circus performance. I would say it complemented and updated the circus format for todays kids. Very well done.
It was a great show. Lots of magic too. The general story running through the show was the circus trying to work around a bad guy named gravity who kept showing up. They finally tricked Mr. Gravity into a glass box which they hosted up in the air. A curtain dropped on the box, sparks flew, the curtain fail off, and then there was a live albino tiger in the glass box. Mr. Gravity had been turned into a tiger. They also had a regular tiger performance with about 9 tigers in the areana doing various tricks.
My favorite act took place near the ceiling where a man and woman were walking upside down. It was incredible you couldn't see what was keeping them from falling. They would kick, dance, and walk around all upside down. Great trick!
All in all a great circus. Well done and well enjoyed.
