| - I have to admit, Matsuri was not what I had expected. But it was a pleasant surprise nevertheless.
This is a very lively and entertaining show with lots of dancing, bouncing, and tumbling around. None of the acts (acrobatic,magic, or dance) were sophisticated or original, but they still capture your attention with their high energy and enthusiasm. The show room/stage is very bare. Most of the set up are done by the performers themselves.
The performers are mostly in their early 20's (just guessing) and work their butts off. For an entire hour, it is nonstop. I'll say they burn off at least 10,000 calories in each show. I can't imagine them doing 2 shows a day, it is brutal!
It is a Japanese show so expect to see some 'cuteness' which some might interpret as kiddish. I really enjoyed the show and I thought all the performers (both guys and girls) are just adorable!
You can get buy 1 get 1 free coupon at Barstow or get 50% off at Tix4Tonight. I won't pay $64 to see the show, but $32 is reasonable to pay. Don't expect any fancy schmancy show girls/guys or topless strippers, this is a family friendly show. Bring everyone here and I am sure they will all enjoy it.
