| - Should be billed as a Variety Show, marketed towards families with children and retirees. As structured, I think they're missing a large demographic of individuals that go to Vegas (20-30 somethings).
Super talented cast, loved the acrobatics (in the many different iterations); roller skating, dancing in the rain, pole-work, rope-work, everything. The archer was phenomenal. Costumes were great. It's a relatively small theater, so a majority of the seats are great (though they should sell the seats on the FAR wings for 1/4 price, as you're essentially looking at the actors butts most of the time).
As other reviewers have commented, I didn't really like the "clown", he was almost always anachronistic, and I just didn't enjoy most of his bits. The actor is very talented, it's not like the guy does a bad job with the role, I just didn't like how it fit into the show. I understand the need for entertainment while actors do costume changes and crew do scene changes, and think they should keep something out there, just not that (that character alone is what drops it from a 4 star rating). And the "reveal" at the end of the show that he's an attractive man as opposed to the nerd he portrays... eyeroll.
In summary, I enjoyed the show, massively talented folks. They either need to market differently, or need to change up some of the acts (particularly the "clown").
