There were a few tense moments as she was left hanging in mid air. But luckily there was a block and tackle falls close by and a quick thinking prop crew brought it over to her.

The pro that she is, she climbed down with toes pointed as if nothing had happened!

April and Simone Dykes were excellent too. Even Lance Ramos' son did a nice job with a pony. Yes, it's not the good old days but there are some good, young performers out there.; 21 January, 2008 10:11

See that happens when the moons and stars line-up? It's the dawning of the age of Aquarias; 21 January, 2008 10:36
