This was my first experience with cirque anything and here I am still dazzled with the
lighting by Kate Johnston, the never ending costume changes by Lenora
Taylor and Santiago, the 25 foot tall Christmas tree not to forget the
floor to ceiling inflated drummer boys and a constant parade of candy
canes, penguins, elves, snowmen, angels, snowballs plus not leaving out
Santa, Mrs. Claus, holiday bells, ornaments and the never ending
movements on the stage.

The
most dazzling of all are the acts on stage which include people from
the United States, China, Russia, Spain, Ethiopia, to mention just a few
countries, doing things you know they can't be doing and yet you see
them doing it with each  act a show stopper!

There
is a human candelabra who keeps on stacking glasses and candles higher
and higher on his head while walking up and down a ladder without a
misstep or dropping a single item. There are the women bicyclists who do
things on bikes that they weren't meant for--the women or the bikes.
There is a jump rope act where a group of guys jump rope in all sorts of
positions  from all sorts of positions including standing on the top of
each other shoulders. There is a  young girl gets so twisted within
herself that you know she will never unbend and yet there she is taking
her bows only to be upstaged by the young guy being flipped over and
around, so many times you lose count, by his partner.

From
acrobats to jugglers to the speed changers who go from one outfit to
another before you even finish blinking your eyes and the guys with 8,
not 6, pack stomachs and the gals hanging by their toes on bars far
about the stage floor you wish you knew who was doing what but it
wouldn't/doesn't help as in another minute there will be someone else,
or 4 more, coming along to make you forget who you just saw.

The
word that best describes this show from sets, designs, lighting,
costumes and, most of all, the performers, is 'dazzling'. The  theme of
the show is Christmas but it can be shown all year round, everywhere,
anywhere.
