Cirque Bon Bon

A spectacular evening of Circs featuring artists who have performed everywhere from Broadway to Las Vegas and London’s West End.

A short evening of one and a half hours but did one feel exhausted after seeing such a production.

The emcee Mario Queen of the Circus.

An amazing emcee keeping the show together with plenty of audience participation.

A great character who really made the show was Cody Harrington is an amazing juggler.

Some of his juggling had to see to believe.

Artistic skating duo, Emma Goh and Scott Lazaravech were on a small circular stage with Scott on skates and Emma also on skates but much of the time was around Scott’s neck.

The skating was absolutely wonderful and kept the audience in their seats waiting for what happened next.

One of the highlights of the evening was Shannon Michaela, a contortionist who had everyone on the edge of their seats and she showed why she holds the Guinness Worlds Record for shooting an arow from her feet further than anyone else.

She had a ballon placed on one side of the stage then she balanced on a table on her hands with a bow and arrow held by her feet and ten shot the arrow to burst the balloon.

An amazing feat.

A fantastic evening of circus on a theatre stage and thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
