In my opinion, it is just a mediocre show, probably due to the small budget production. I am actually not sure they are from the Capital of China, Beijing. Maybe I myself was mistakenly thinking that Peking=Beijing. I have seen a China National Acrobatic performance two years ago in the Pasadena Civil Auditorium on green. It was a fantastic show. This is no comparison. Oh, well, I think next time I should always go with the big and well known venue.Written on Jan 26 2009

I may not be a connoisseur of Chinese acrobats, but I thought this was an amazing show! I was cringing at some of the balance feats - hoping they wouldn't fall or drop the stuff - and they never did! Did not go away disappointed, but clapped and clapped! Great show!Written on Mar 16 2010

This was an extremely entertaining show and great for the whole family! Although there were a few blunders, they paled in comparison to the hundreds of extraordinary and breathtaking feats this group of performers accomplished. They even had a few very talented children participating in the show. Validated parking was simple and only $1.Written on Jan 18 2010
My only complaint was that the seats I received were absolutely horrible! They were on the very last row in the balcony in front of the spotlights even though there were plenty of empty seats all around. Also, for anyone seated in the rear of the balcony, you could not see what was happening in the front of the stage.
Otherwise, it was a great way to spend a few hours on a Friday night!

What a great show! Granted there were a few "mistakes," but it just exemplified how perfect the rest of the performance went. There's really not a lot of room for error for the majority of their acts. Balcony seat was high up and it was hard to view a few things that happened in the very front of the stage, but it did not take away too much from the night.Written on Jan 18 2010
