A six week run of the Cirque Du Soleil’s new show “Varekai” has just started at The Royal Albert Hall in honour of the Canadian Circus troops 25th Anniversary.

I saw it tonight with my three children.  It was one of their Christmas presents and they loved it.  The theme appeared to be a loose version of the story of Icarus – starting off with a forest scene full of weird and wonderful animals – very “Avatar” in style actually.

The tickets are expensive and some of the story is frankly a bit waffly and unnecessary for me – I would probably prefer to pay less and watch the good bits for half an hour, HOWEVER at the core of the show are a handful of acts that are amongst the most stunning displays you will ever hope to see and what better place to see them than at The Royal Albert Hall.

Aerial sequences with various artists suspended from ropes or nets or hoops, brilliant jugglers, a teeny weeny Chinese troup and an unbelievably bendy girl – “rubber woman” are but a few of the sensational acts you will see:-

The audience was a lovely mixture of ages and types. Anyone and everyone will like this show. Beg, borrow or steal a ticket if you can.

I’m wondering if joining the circus would be a better bet than joining Match.com in the “meeting a fit, interesting bloke” stakes.

    I went to the Royal Albert Hall show last year – it is amazing isn’t it. The one in Vegus is even more amazing though – we went to “O” and it blew my mind. Am sure your children wouldn’t mind if you decided to take them to that show next x J
