| - Cirque's Zumanity is a mix of fantastic feats, sensual suggestions and bawdy humor, with the actors interacting with the audience throughput the performance. A drag queen acts as MC and connects the acts which vary from acrobatic, aerial, dance and vaudeville. Some of the outstanding acts to me were, two lithe and supple young women swimming/dancing in an over-sized martini glass that was just beautifully orchestrated, a bathtub dance between an unbelievably buff couple and the aerial hoola-hoop act, and plenty of just beautiful bodies! The only thing I thought was a little weird was the auto-erotic aerial act, breaking the karma from sensual to slightly lewd.
In-between, there is a vaudeville type couple that does very funny skits and pulls up unsuspecting patrons to do hilarious things. ==SPOILER ALERT== Beware middle-aged ladies-- a roaming gigolo looks for victims for the "orgy" scene and one of them was me! "Antonio" kept coming by me, feeling my knee and putting my hands on his well-beefed abs which I gladly acquiesced. I see it was a rouse to determine how much I could take before he pulled me up on stage and humped me all in good fun. The audience was really supportive as I walked out with my beet red face, telling me the whole thing was hysterical and making me laugh. Great show!
