I got some tickets to this circus for xmas, and wasn't disappointed. Easy parking, and a nice big circus tent made the atmosphere cruisy and fun. We got seated on uncomfortable little chairs (what else) that were not exactly in the best viewing position, and waited.
The clowns got things rolling, as people were still coming in, and then once the show started it was all French weirdness, like watching a cool French movie like City of Lost Children or something. The performers were very skilled and professional, the clowns genuinely funny, and the fact they use a live band was a nice touch.
The intermission was much needed, and we slunk out for an ice-cream, before coming back in for another, much briefer, dose of mad circus.
All in all, a great experience, although at about $100 a ticket, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone who hasn't got rich relatives/friends who want to shout them to it.
