Ken & Nicole #1 (From KLSDAD)

 

Opening

Wow.. !!

FUN!! Beautiful!! Clever!
Technically brilliant!!

Here are some shots I took last
night (Mar 31, 2006) at the
"opening-night" performance of the
Ringling Bros. & Barnum and
Bailey Circus - The Greatest Show On
Earth. (They deserve to keep the
full title with this re-working of
the Red unit.)

The $15 program (including
white tiger mask) credits Jay Smith
as Director and Tim Holst, Vice
President- Talent & Production.

Great to see they've kept much
of the traditional circus while updating
it with the brilliant lighting, visuals
(yes- the TV screen now works very
well) - live music, and timely humor (Bello using
"She's Beautiful".. and the clowns
doing a wonderful spoof called -
"Dancing With The Clowns" while
the wondrous tiger cage is being
lowered in its circular canister from the
ceiling... then pulled-up. (Yes.. I
was probably the only one thrilled
at this!!)

GO!! It's a show for everyone!!
(Sure enjoyed the laughs from the
two young boys behind me... and their
Grandmother!

The Red Unit looks very nice. I saw the Blue Unit in Atlanta and was dissapointed.

Also, Does anyone have any pictures of a dog and pony act? I haven't seen any!

Who turned all the lights off? Looks dangerous in the seats more than on the floor.

No.. we're all safe in the seats.. standing and singing the Star Spangled Banner.
Very moving.

I guess you had to be there.

To all
I wish to make it perfectly clear.. that I DID NOT send these photos in with the title "Ken&Nicole" nor the names placed on them.
(Just for the record.!)
