My dad's Christmas gift to the whole family. Darius was mesmerized for the entire two and half hour show. I spent just as much time watching the performers as I did watching the look on my son's face. Pure amazement. Pure fascination. It was simply spectacular.
The best part was during the pre-show. Cirque had some clowns and performers come out into the audience; partly to get people into their seats and partly to get the excitement building before the show started. A clown was making balloon animals and spotted Darius in the audience. He came over and ...
Clown: What is your favorite animal?
Darius: A monkey!
Clown: Well, you are in luck. You are going to get a very special monkey.
Darius: giggles
Clown: [twisting balloon into shape] This monkey is very special. It's a monkey that looks like a dog!
And sure enough, he handed Darius a green balloon in the shape of a dog.
Best night. Ever.
