Seen a couple of different performances on television. It is something else, very entertaining though I find myself squinching when I watch the "rubber bodies." I always wonder how these people fare when they get older. Can you say "back pain"?

It is not Ringling Brothers, that is for sure. It is magical, I saw Saltimbanco when it first debuted in '94?. It was a rock-circus-opera-aerial-ballet, the music, the performers, the story line, all perfectly synced in a single big top tent was wonderfully entertaining.

Always wanted to know what that big tent was about on Broad Street. One day I bought tickets to the show and I have never been the same since. It was magical, it was fun, it stirred my imagination. I was a little kid for the night.

If you can go - see what the big tent holds for you. I am planning to return to that big tent, but it won't be on broad street, its further down in South Philly, no matter I'm going. I can't wait to buy my tickets and wait for the night of the show. I still have my funny hat that I bought the last time and plan to wear it to the show. This time I'll buy a baseball cap type and not a top hat so I can wear it every day. Can't wear that top hat every day.

I am so happy!!! I just got my email telling me they are coming to Philadelphia!! I can be a kid again for one night! I can't wait, its been a year since they were in town and its been a long year without them.

The people on stage is amazing. The jump about, the girls can move their bodies as if they were made of rubber, and I love the high flying acts. This time they have a fire routine. The show is new with some of the normal things like those rubber girls. There is a intermission where we are served drinks and snacks, they give you a free upgrade for the tickets if you join the club, I joined.

The actors and performers will mingle with you, and you are in awe of them. I love the circus, but I especially love Cirque du Soleil.
