Circus Oz bounds on to the stage showing no sign of slowing after 30 years of hoops, balls and ropes. This is high-energy, no-holds-barred three-ringed joy! Slick new takes on old standards and some bright new ideas are thrown into the ring with careless abandon and the crowd adores it.
The exuberant thrill of the physicality and the quirky ideas make this a must see show. Not only do we see everything you could possibly do on a firemans pole but a young lady who does remarkable things with a hula-hoop. Ever seen a juggler remove his jacket whilst juggling? Me neither. Despite some mild swearing this is strong, vibrant family entertainment.
Highlights? Well, the electronic dog is endearing, but is it circus? And the acrobatic kangeroos have to be seen to be believed. The pace never flags and the troupe (a mere 8 performers) thunder through their routines with infectious, eager energy. It's bright, it's cheery, it's inventive and it's well-worth the ticket price.
