Cirque du soliel

[Boondox]

Just got back from a long weekend in Florida to surprise my father-in-law for his 70th birthday. Took him to Cirque du Soliel in Orlando and all I can say is WOW! The trampoline act alone (the gymnasts bounced from the tramp all the way up to the top of a 20 foot "building," sidestepped, then dropped back to the tramp sort of like juggling with their entire bodies) was worth the price of the entire vacation!!!

Can't begin to do the act justice, but if you ever get a chance to go, jump at it! My attitude going down there was "Yeah, right...another circus!" Now I can't wait to go again!

Anyway, we're back in Vermont where the weather is decent.

I saw them in Washington, D.C. a few years ago and couldn't agree more! Fantastic entertainment/athletic demonstration.

Cirque is the best!! Circus and theatre combined.

I took the family to see them a couple of years back near DC and it was fantastic.

In fact, I believe they are supposed to be on Bravo this evening (11/20). If you have never seen Cirque perform, please treat yourself. It is an amazing experience.

You can catch small Cirque demonstrations throughout the Montreal Jazz Festival which runs for 2 or 3 weeks every July.
