I got the chance to see it first today, a day before Christmas, during the
Gala Charity Event and it was
spectacular! I've never watched anything like this before so I was really
amazed. I had my little boy and my mom with me and both of them enjoyed the show. So yes, they're for
all ages and great for the
entire family!

The show was opened by a
mime who was so
loved by crowd, especially the young ones. He appears every now and then as part of intermission to provide
comic relief. Much needed every after
breath-taking and
heart-pounding stunts. I enjoyed the
audience participation and that the show really tries to
interact with the crowd.

The
aerial trapeze was a great first act as it has set the
bar high (literally and figuratively) on what to expect in the show. People were
screaming in anxiety with every flip, and
applauding after successful stunts.

I wish I had better camera to capture the great performances. But here are some pictures I got during the show.

 |
| Balancing and spinning plates with sticks! |
 |
| Hula-hooping hundred hoops? |
One of my
favorite stunts is this duo. While they're doing those
amazing poses, I was like
"Core Power, yo!!".

I think the kids got scared when they saw those fire balls. But it's all safe and it was
stunning!

| Fire act | Stunning! |
I wish the last act was as grand as the first. It took time to set up the swing and I know it is hard to perform, however, it yielded
less applause from the crowd. The
fire dance could have been a better ending.

Overall, it is indeed the
greatest show in town and a
wonderful way to spend the Holiday Season! The performances were varied from
aerial tricks, to
balancing acts, and
precision skills. There were some acts with mistakes but acceptable. I used to only see these things in the television but it is really
astounding to see it live for the first time!
