WOW is all I have to say after getting a sneak peek of dress rehearsal yesterday. Le Grand Cirque is going to be a show that you are not going to want to miss! The Grand Arena is ready as you can see in the picture to the left, and the performers are ready to amaze you! The performers represent countries from around the globe and do contortions, strong man acts, balancing acts and of course I can't forget to mention the Wheel of Death that hangs at the top of the Grand Arena! All of these things combined with breath-taking lighting and spectacular costumes are what make Le Grand Cirque one of the most amazing and successful family shows of all time. The Grand Arena is an Italian-style air conditioned fabric structure designed to hold just under 1,100 people. If you haven't purchased your tickets yet, check out cirquedestin.com. I was told that the show is already sold out for a few nights this week, so check out the website for more information.
