I've haven't seen it myself but friends who did when it was here in Washington couldn't speak more highly about it. they do NOT use animals; no poor captive elephants, tigers, etc., just people doing amazing things; got exremely favorable reviews.

I have seen two or three performances on the TV in the past - they were wonderful, splendid. spellbinding. Kazz if you can get tickets then GO!

Eileen is right - no animals are used. It's certainly not THAT SORT of circus. It's a Canadian company but the performers come from all over the world.

Here is their official website.

Oh sorry I know no animals....hence why I would be interested. Someone I know who knows someone who went in the USA was still singing its praises many months later hence why its peeked my interest I think it would be something Sophie would adore too.....a surprise in the offing I think for her 16th. In Jan. The show is not till later in the year in B'ham but hey.

Thank you both I am going to get tickets. Thank you.

Oh I don't do circuses due to animals and don't do Zoo's for the same reason.

I am sure it will be wonderful and you will love the performance. When is it?

I know a few people who have seen them in Battersea and have all (independently) raved about it. It's one of those things I've been meaning to go and see but never have got round to it

I hope you do decide to go and see them . . . I understand it's a real spectacle!
