These acrobats put on a great show. I would definately recommend to anyone. My family and I were truly entertained!!!
Amazing feats of balance, coordination, and flexability. There is a lot of movement and always something amazing going on. The pace is fast and the the individual acts are not drawn out, long enought to be very entertaining but not so long that they drag. Very good.
Performers facial expressions at times looked like they were bored or worse yet tired. Costumes were colorful and entertaining, however not fitting properly. Leopard trimmed costumes were confusing, keep the traditional looking costumes. Gentlemen who performed the jump through the rings had the right music for their rope performance, but outfits for hoop and music was disappointing. They are so talented and had the most energy, need to tweak 2nd performance with music and maybe some synchronized dance moves. Overall was entertained by performances, however much work is needed with music selections. Music just did not match the performances and left me feeling unfulfilled with what I saw.
It was a bit slow for our taste, but worth watching
First time ever going to a performance like this, It's amazing how some of them can bend their body parts in ways you never imagined. It was so cool to hear the crowd oohhing & aawwing between claps, even the young kids and the young & heart you can see the amazement in everyone's eyes. A must family outing!
I guess we were expecting something a little better. This was an OK show but the acrobats were not as good as some we have seen. Loved the costumes though. Theater aisles are very cramped and people could hardly get in and out even if we stood up to let them by. Kids had a hard time not kicking the seats in front of them and the man in front of one of the kids was a real grouch.
There were moments that were completely nerve-racking, in a good way. Great show for all ages! These people are extremly talented! I think it was better than some of the Cirque shows I have seen in Vegas!
This was a great show, something different for the El Paso area.
I thought the performance was amazing, and a show that the whole family would enjoy - from young children to seniors. The young Chinese girls are exquisitely amazing in their grace and agility, and the young men perform incredibly with unbelievable acrobatics. It was almost reminiscent of the Chinese Olympics with the precision and costuming. I certainly hope it returns to El Paso again, as I would certainly buy tickets again as well as recommending it to those who missed it this time.
The Shanghai performers are one of a kind! Their skills and true authentic ability to capture the attention of the audience every minute is memorable and fun for the whole family!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS OK BUT, TOO EXPENSIVE. CHEAP ROAD SHOW. NO DECOR NO NOTHING.
We had a wonderful time at the Shanghai Circus with our Granddaughter. We loved the unique acts and the vibrant young performers...what a great time.
No video taping or cameras allowed while the show is going on but after you will be able to walk up to them and take pictures or ask for autographs. Souveniers are expensive so take cash because they don't accept credit. The performers were amazing and did unbelievable stunts. My children and I enjoyed almost all of it. I say almost because in the beginning of the show you have people coming in and the usher showing them where to sit so we missed some of the beginning of the first show and also when we came back from intermission. Can't people remember their show time and have curtesy for people who are there on time. I would say if they are late they should wait for the next show or wait to sit when one of the acts is over. Shanghai Circus nevertheless was unbelievable and though some of the things they did seemed to be the same they were different because they did a different endurance sturnt. You will be amazed at the things these young people can do. It is worth the money and it sparks kids imagination of the amazing things their bodies can do with gymnastics and lots of training. Enjoy and buy your tickets early so you won't sit at the back. It was truly annoying. People please arrive before the show ; ).
The whole presentation was amazing. All the members were very professional. I loved to see the female acrobats dancing. This show made feel like I was in China.
Fascinating! Such young and talented gymnists! Costums a bit funky but overall, refreshing to see such gifted younf people from China.
Fascinating show for kids and adults! great family entertainment.
It was an exciting and memorable night. El Paso needs more wonderful shows like this one.
The Show is so beautiful the costumes are nice and the acts are amazing. It does take your breath away its quite an experience.
Costuming was spectacular. Each act was well organized and well performed even though I don't think this was the "first team" in the show. The show began about 10 minutes later than advertized.
I had actually caught this show before when I was living in Virginia last year. I was just as amazed this time around as I was the first time. If this show comes to your town, don't miss it!
