Fun -- like a stripped down Cirque du Soleil. Too much emphasis on slapstick, however -- particularly in the second act. Some of the acrobatics were impressive, and had the focus been more on those stunts, I would have enjoyed it considerably more. Finally, I was surprised at how short the performance was. The first act clocked in at barely forty minutes. The second act was probably the same -- with a long intermission -- but the second act had barely any stunts.Written on Feb 09 2009

This was a fun show. The acrobatics were amazing, there were many gasps and covering of eyes. It was nice to see a performance where the entertainers interacted with and acknowledged the audience. They had a polished schtick that was both funny and dramatic. The suspense built and was released evenly throughout the evening. The band and the stagehands were part of the show. We saw this show last year and enjoyed it so much we brought twice as many people this year.Written on Feb 10 2009
