Los Angeles Shrine Circus

Its nostalgic, they have fresh cotton candy and the performers are very talented. However I felt like there was no director on board. It was like they got a bunch of super talented people together and said «Ok, Go!» And each performer went into their own individual routine. For example, there is one section with two holla hoopers, they were stationed on either side of the stage and each began their own routine that didnt match or play off the other. Both very talented but it sort of felt like a «Holla Hoop Off» instead of a show. The same happened with one of the ariel acts and contortionist acts. And the transition between acts was awkward and sort of long but they mostly covered it with some fun banter from the MC. Im sure none of the kids cared in the audience, but those that feel like kids in their hearts may have noticed. This show could be really great if they had some more solid direction.

I’m wondering how anyone with a heart could possibly go to these things. Performing Pachyderms adorable??? How sick is that?

This is a great family show! The motorcycle stunt was amazing and the aerial act was beautiful! The miniature horses and the dog show were the cutest! And the Ponderous Performing Pachyderms (The elephants) was adorable! (Although I couldn’t help but wonder how they trained the elephants because I’ve heard so many horrible stories.) The rest of acrobatic acts were entertaining. This is no Cirque du Soleil, but then again, we didn’t pay $ 125+. For $ 10.50 (via
), it was well-​worth the money!
