As a child who went yearly to the Barnum, & Bailey circus, to an adult who has taken her children in the same tradition, I was very disappointed and saddened by this circus production. The pageantry and the quality of a R & B circus were not there.How do you put on a production of a circus without the slap stick shenanigans of clowns? One painted muffin topped robotic dancer does not a clown make!!!. Where were the buffoon's antics of the happily painted faces, called clowns??. Where was our top hatter elegantly dressed in his black and red velvet jacket called the MC, with his deep voice bringing you in and making you feel every part of this amazing show??? The acts themselves fell flat. Lions that don't perform, and play dead, (not part of an act)., street cats that came in from the cold for a meal and climbed a poll and rolled over? A woman performer who magically changed colored outfits as she popped out of a box? High wire acts that could not perform due to the low ceilings in this venue!!. The only element that reminded me of being at the circus was the few elephants, and the over priced popcorn . Give me a break!!! Send in the clowns!!!!
