Was excellent...kids loved it! Would reccomend for all ages!
some performances were good, some ok, some were way too unimpressive
This was a fun event enjoyed by everyone around me. The entertainers did a grest job interacting with the crowd, the performances were fabulous. Cannot pick just one favorate. Fabulous evening, great memories, and a couple of neat pictures for the scrapbook page(s). Would (and did) recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, intimate circus.
This show would probably have been more enjoyable as a kid. A lot of the acts seemed amateurish and not planned for the layout of the Carlson Center itself, especially since there was a lot of dead time due to having to change the props constantly. If there wasn't dead time between prop switching the announcer was telling you how great their merchandise was and to buy things from them, even though there were two people constantly walking in front of you the entire show trying to show off the items. It was hard to tell when an act was complete because of how often the cast would stop and look at the crowd for approval. Many times it caused an awkward silence when an act did finish but the crowd was so confused they didn't even clap. Also being on the floor you would imagine good seats and being able to see the entire show but the circus let them set up our section so those to the right of our seats weren't even able to see certain acts like the Crossbow Masters because the target's back was facing them. It's kind of hard to get excited about the man shooting a piece of paper in half when you can't see it happen.
