Cirque du Soleil --   OVO!  Part One

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

This woman was ridiculously flexible and double-jointed and just when we thought she couldn't do any more contorsions she then suspended herself using her mouth!

There was a colorful constantly changing climbing wall from which there was all sorts of climbing jumping on trampolines and just hanging out... who knew there were windows in a climbing wall?

And where would this show be without bugs, and then really weird bugs...
