Gatlinburg - Cirque De Chine

One of the great advantages of living in the Gatlinburg - Pigeon Forge area is the entertainment and shows that are always available.  A few weeks ago my wife and I and some good friends decide to go to the "Cirque De Chine" show in Pigeon Forge.

We have seen a few of the "Cirque De ..." shows and have always been impressed. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by some young performers and although they did not speak any English, they did a good job at making us feel welcome.

Our seats were near the front so we did have excellent comfortable seating. The theater was formally a music venue so the sound system was very good - crisp and clear!

The show started right on time and for the next 2 hours it was none stop action and amazement. Thrilling and sometimes unbelievable acrobatics, dazzling colors and costumes along with well choreographed music and dancing. Judging from the audience reaction everyone truly enjoyed themselves. I  believe that many of the performers participated in Beijing Summer Olympics opening ceremonies.

After the show the performers greeted the audience in the lobby and my wife and I had our photo taking with the  "stars" of the evening.

A great show and one that I would recommend to anyone.!
