Since Soleil is now showing St. Pete, I wonder if any of those people would deign to attend the Ken & Nicole Show? If so I would enjoy hearing their opinions, who knows they might even like it. |

Mornin' Buckles.. Been watching the GSOE on HBO since bout 5:30 this morn... It's amazing to this day... Thank God for the Movie.. L.S
With only two days to go before the whole world marvels at "Ken & Nicole's Incredible Shrinking Show" (tm) I'm can't wait for the veil of secrecey to lift so that those who saw the previews may speak. So many questions. Does one ring mean one ring, or something bigger like Cole's oblong space surrounded by curb? Are there any animals on the show besides the bulls? The show is said to have a story -- thus the need for award winning writers -- what is the story? Is the show built around a particular performer, or just Alex and the rest of the Carson & Barnes clowns? What do they use those video screens for? Can I see the show and watch football at the same time? Were the video screens built by Hagenbeck-Wallace? Is there a Spec? The Ringmaster has been replaced by a featured vocalist, so how do they handle the questions from the seats in the middle of the show? Why do they need questions from the seats in the middle of the show? If the elephants dance to hip-hop, has the band been replaced by a DJ and do Ken & Nicole rap? Does the two hour run time include an intermission? What toys is the Sells-Floto souvenir company selling in the lobby? There are clowns, there are elephants, how about aerial acts? Do I have to get "circus-fit" for this one and show up in sweatpants? Any cats? Enquiring minds want to know. (Though not necessarily to see.)
As I understand it the story line is almost identical to the one we used in the show at the Ringling Park in the 1970's. A little girl has no money to see the circus and a Fairy Clown appears like the Godmother in "Cinderella" and she not only sees but eventually performs throughout the performance.
The bizarre thing is, both Irvin and Kenneth despised everything about that premise in 1976.

I saw that web site. Looks like a bunch of kids playing circus. The costumes are not to be belived. Holloween visitors to my door were better costumed. There was a barrier of ropes shown like at dennys non smoking section. The Owners could have consulted a dresser. So unprofessional. The elephant yard men on Kelly Miller were better dressed. No offence Bob Cline and John Carrol, May you rest in peace. Yard men sounded better then pooper scoopers.
