Cirque Du Soleil.

Well..... Words fail me. This show has to be seen to be believed! This Circus is amazing. The performers are the absolute very best in their field, the audience participation is on a new level, the music is performed live by an in-house band, and there are no "run-of-the-mill" acts.

The show, which lasts 2 hours (with a 30 minute interval) is just non-stop action. I can honestly claim to have seen the best acrobats in the world... A team of 20 doing flips, jumps, and balancing acts... All at the same time, in an area only just bigger than a standard livingroom!

The best juggler in the world, juggling 15 balls, whilst tap-dancing! and then she did "reverse juggling" where instead of throwing the balls up in the air, she bounces them off the floor....... And then she did both at the same time (I can't explain it properly)

The best clown in the world... A guy who does his own sound effects (like that bloke from police academy) who got members of the audience doing all manner of strange things in time to music.

The best trapeze artistes in the world, 4 women who incorporate trapezes plus bungee cords and a sort of "indoor formation skydiving routine. Honestly, I can't remember watching a show this breathtaking.

Cirque Du Soleil (or "The circus of the sun") is on at Star City until the end of March.

Go and book tickets, NOW! trust me. You will not be disapointed!
