\nEarlier this month, Sean and I went (as press) to see a brand new show, Big Apple Circus LEGENDARIUM<\/a>. Reggie and Michael didn\u2019t want to attend because they had seen the Big Apple Circus perform in the past and thought that it would be too similar. (While they enjoyed it the first time, they rarely want to see things multiple times.) It ended up being their loss, because Sean and I had a blast. As Sean said, \u201cThey made a big mistake!\u201d\n

On the way to the circus, I was speaking with some random lady on the train who had struck up a conversation with Sean and me. When I mentioned that we were on our way to the circus, she commented that circuses treat animals badly. While some circuses probably do mistreat animals, I really don\u2019t think that is the case for the Big Apple Circus. It actually has a positive reputation for being humane in their animal treatment. They only work with domesticated animals (such as horses and dogs) and I also like that the dogs used in LEGENDARIUM\u2019s \u201cCentral Park Dogs\u201d act are rescued shelter dogs.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the show was amazing\u2026totally different from past Big Apple Circus shows. In addition to experiencing nostalgic aspects of past circus shows, the underlying theme of the production (for me) was the importance of imagination. It really is amazing what imagination can bring about. Everything really is created more than once since thoughts become reality. The various acts \u2013 a solo trapeze act, a contortionist who did archery with her feet, a man who rode a bicycle on a wire, tango dancing jugglers and much more \u2013 really left me thinking, \u201cI need to imagine more!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yes\u2026the fight. In Part Two of the circus, I got in a fight with one of the Acrobuffos (a husband-and-wife clown team) clowns. The husband pulled me into the ring and his \u201cjealous\u201d wife and I fought over him. There were fists up, air kicks and battling with foam whips. SO FUN! Prior to this \u201cfight\u201d, I had always thought that those \u201cpull out of the audience\u201d circus things were planned beforehand. (Actually, when the clown first motioned for me to come on stage, I looked behind me to see whom he was calling.) In any event, I now know that they are not. I can now cross another thing off my \u201cI didn\u2019t know that I wanted to do this BUT I\u2019m so glad that I did it because it was AWESOME\u201d list \u2013 perform in a circus ring!<\/strong> My only regret is that I don\u2019t have any pictures or video of the interaction since Sean was the only familiar person who was with me at the circus. That\u2019s fine though\u2026I still have the memory.<\/p>\n

In any event, LEGENDARIUM will run through Sunday, January 13th under the Big Top at Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center. Tickets start at $25 and are available at www.bigapplecircus.org<\/a>, by calling (888) 541-3750 or at the Circus Box Office that is located in front of the Big Top. The show runs for 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission. (On a side note, I was impressed with the reasonable concession prices. During the intermission, I only spent $8 to buy Sean chicken fingers, fries and fruit punch.) I\u2019m not doing an \u201cexperience gifts\u201d section to my holiday gift guide, but I think that tickets to see LEGENDARIUM would make a great holiday gift for the kids in your life.<\/p>\n
