Circus! is definitely the show to go for if you have small children with you, or even if you’re just looking for a fun time! The show follows a unique premise, where one of the circus performers is abandoned at the last minute by the rest of the circus, leaving only him to entertain the audience for the day. Using the help of audience members, Isaac Girardin puts together a show where you’ll forget that there’s only one performer on stage.

When you arrive at the venue, the first thing that will probably catch your eye is the impressive set. With simple materials, the artists were able to create a beautiful, traditional-circus looking set that immediately hooks you to the show. Another aspect that set this show apart from others was the high level of interactivity. Of course, other magic shows and performances of the sort involve audience members frequently, but since Girardin was the only one on stage, the constant help of audience members was necessary for the show to go on. Together, the performer and volunteers set up cool stunts that are rather simple, but they still get the job done.

In my opinion, the best part of the show was how entertaining it was for the children in the audience. To ensure that every single one of them got a turn on stage, Girardin set up a small parade at the start of the show, where the children (who were told to dress up in costume prior) got to march around on stage! It was a fun moment that I’m sure the children won’t forget.
