Cirque du Soleil

Saw Cirque last Thursday, and it was AWESOME. I loved all the acts, especially the silk ballet (and its YUMMY leading man ), the "power track" acrobats, and the "Diabolos" - four precious little girls who did a tumbling / juggling / yo yo thing that's impossible to describe well but was really cool. It was well worth the money!

Having said that, I've discovered that I *hate* clowns. Every time they were on the stage, I had to sit on my hands to avoid throwing something. (Not really, but I was tempted.) Corny, corny, corny, and not my cup of tea at all. *bleh*

Dad & I were at the 6:00 show last Thursday Feb 5th as well. It was my second time seeing it and I enjoyed it more this time than last! Saw many more things that I didn't notice last time as there's so much going on at one time. I love the way they climb the building and the little girls the best.

Cirque was a big hit for our family! Our boys loved the clowns (they are 6 & 8). I do think the clown act improved as the show went on! My DH was in awe of the whole thing except for the bikes. Thought they did not fit with the rest of the show. We were in the second row- seeing the expressions on the quartet's faces was priceless! We will see it again on our next trip- but try for seats in the upper section/ first row. Would love to see the 'parade' pass in front of us!
