The tour of gymnastics champions was overall an awe-inspiring, fun show that left most of the audience satisfied and happy.
The few cons of the show were that at the beginning, the host's mic was not working, and i don't think he realized it, which meant there was essentially no introduction to the show, and events simply began happening with no explanation. The setup of the first part is incredibly awkward, it featured what i assume was a corp of local gymnasts that, with all due respect, should not have been featured. Again, the host appeared very frazzled, which gave the event a very disorganized feel. Another issue is that they never mention the names of the gymnasts who are performing while they do it. I understand not wanting to vocally introduce them, but even showing each person's name on the marquee would have sufficed. Finally, the adult baby bit, obviously just filler material was truly AWFUL. I would have gladly seen an hour show without the two baby bits and HALF HOUR intermission rather than sitting through these painful, mind-numbing parts
So although I have made it sound pretty awful above, the performances of the gymnasts were amazing! It was magnificent to see these athletes close-up and in action. Most of them, especially Nastia and the male gymnasts, seemed to truly enjoy themselves. The best parts were when they went directly from one event to the next, seamlessly. At times, the action seemed non-stop and it was fabulous.
I will definitely be back next year, prepared for all the negative parts, but excited for all the great parts!
