Phew..we have been super bus this week and have crammed in ALOT of shows…we have also managed to have many ice-creams, some hot donuts and spent some great creative time in the Pleasance Kidzone making shrinkies and tea-light holders….
We have seem some spectacular circus, hilarious comedy and seriously impressive storytelling….some of our top picks this last week have been :
The Listies: Ickypedia – If you go and see one children’s show- make it this one ! Hilarious, messy fun…you won’t be disappointed.
360 Allstars – For high octane, fast paced impressive tricks, this is the show for you ! Basketball tricks, break dancing, cyr wheel, beat boxing and more…
Morgan and West: Unbelievable Science – For all science enthusiasts out there – they will amaze you with some optical illusions and their usual trickery. Highly entertaining.
Splash Test Dummies – They are lovable, silly and very very funny ! Baywatch style lifesaving, beach volleyball and synchronised swimming all get a Dummies makeover !
Troll – Only on until the 11th August -a compelling, captivating story , with such imaginative, creative puppetry and set.
For the little ones, we loved:
Fox- tot ! – Multi-sensory adventure where your wee one can get fully involved meeting the playful characters and listening to the beautiful music.
For the whole family, we’ve loved these two circus shows – both have been breathtaking:
Blizzard – fantastic acrobatics with very funny and silly snippets inbetween – try and sit near the front if you can !!
Backbone – Evocative, astoundingly beautiful – stunning acrobatics made to look so graceful and effortless imaginative sequences and use of limited props and incredible laser lighting that our mini reviewers especially loved !
