| - So, my boyfriend wanted to go to this for his birthday, so we went. Let me say first that he LOVED it- has been talking about how great it is for months now (we went in June), and has called it his favorite show of all time, stated that he could go to this show every day and continue enjoying it, and wants to go again. And I admit that I liked it, too, for a large part of it.
The setting is a circus tent. The paraphernalia around the walls is fun to check out. The feel is a bit dark but overall enjoyable. Be prepared for the elements- I was freezing! (in June in Las Vegas) And if you can, bring a pillow- the seats were very uncomfortable after a while.
The acrobatics were incredible- I loved the aerobatics, the roller skaters, and many of the other acts. Even though she has a propensity for pushing things WAY over the edge (to where what she was saying was not only uncomfortable, but then eventually a bit boring- same thing, same story, shocking at first, but then it keeps going and going and going and doesn't change), I found myself actually liking the announcer's "assistant." The MC was good, but be prepared- if you're in the front few rows of the audience you just might find yourself part of the act (in which case, don't let yourself be bullied by the MC or any of the other performers or peer-pressured into anything you don't want to do). I was alright with a lot of the risque bits- a lot of it reminds me of the raunchy aspect of a Renaissance Faire, but do not misunderstand me- there are parts that I felt went too far and made me very uncomfortable. I don't consider myself a prude, but I do admit that I have my limits, and this show frequently pushed right to them and then a few times over them- sometimes WAY over them.
We had been told that this was a family friendly show- IT IS NOT. If you are into modesty and are uncomfortable with anything from sexual innuendo to outright nudity, DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOW. If you don't like listening to people cursing and using dirty language, AVOID THIS SHOW. BUT, if you enjoy burlesque shows and enjoy Renaissance Faire humor, then you might REALLY ENJOY this show.
