I\u2019ve seen the Circque before in Chicago, but not this show, and this one was miles better than the Chicago one.\u00a0 Spectacular acrobatics, a climbing wall, lots of enjoyable music and singing, colorful costumes\u2014 and a theme, in this case OVO i.e. eggs.\u00a0 Oh did I mention bugs\u2014 including a rather portly ladybug playing hard to get\u2026.\u00a0 The show was about 2 hours long with a 20 minute intermission. Here\u2019s some fun shots from the show which we saw the last day of August.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> This woman was ridiculously flexible and double-jointed and just when we thought she couldn\u2019t do any more contorsions she then suspended herself using her mouth!<\/p>\n

There was a colorful constantly changing climbing wall from which there was all sorts of climbing jumping on trampolines and just hanging out\u2026\u00a0 who knew there were windows in a climbing wall?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And where would this show be without bugs, and then really weird bugs\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And yes that\u2019s a bug carrying a giant egg.<\/p>\n
