Anyone ever been to this? I see they have it at Sam Houston Race Park and I know I wanted to go see this in Vegas but didnt get a chance to when I was there.

Tickets are so damn expensive so I was wondering if its worth it?

Been here in Dallas, a couple years back. Not your average type circus. More intricate acts and more geared toward adults and older children. I thought it was pretty cool. I would at least experience it once. Google the exact show you are interested in and you should find some reviews on it.

I went a couple years back because my wife forced me to go with another couple.....I freaking though it was amazing. I bought the video LOL.

I just saw a billboard yesterday for the show currently in town and I already got tickets.

Definately worth going to in my opinion.

Been to several different shows here in Houston, Vegas and in Canada. They are worth it and really cool shows. I've seen it out at Sam Houston racepark as well when they setup the bigtop and it's awesome. As stated, kindof an adult type circus and kids may get bored as there is alot of acting and newage type music.

They are better in Vegas where the theaters were custom built for each one. If you have never seen one you will enjoy it no matter where it is.

I'd say anywhere. Pick somewhere around the middle a little of to each side. Being upclose wouldn't matter really. Too much going on with the clowns and performers. It'll be good.

Zoomanity is the one to see. Bunch of topless chicks dancing around, was a good time with the wife. The announcers can be pretty entertaining too. We were on the first row and he was straight up calling my wife out for wearing a real low cut dress.
