Amazing contortionists. Good variety of acts. A bit redundant with flexible bodies and all but colorful, entertaining, and worth the price.

The Chinese are well known for their acrobatic prowess and this was demonstrated several times during the show. However, the best act of the show was the magician - we still haven't figured out how he did his illusions. The one deterrent was the very dark curtains on the back of the stage and the overall low lighting -- it would have been easier on the eyes if these were changed.

Good length, some awe-inspiring flexibility and tumbling. Some brought tears to my eyes, honestly. This is a Chinese version of a circus, so while there is Chinese culture here, it is also a potpourri of acts. They could use some fine-tuning in terms of music and choreography, but all in all, it was family friendly (I brought my 3 kids, ages 5-10), enjoyable entertainment worth the price found on Goldstar.
