Sensation of Magic featuring Vitaly Beckman

Dates and Venue 17 - 21 August, 2010 | Havana Theatre, Commercial Drive

Reviewer Melanie Ewan

With sixty seats, the Havana Theatre is quite small, which provides an intimate setting for a magic show. We decided to sit in the front row, while secretly hoping that we would not be picked as volunteers for any trick. From the first moment that Beckman appeared he had a smile on his face, clearly enjoying every moment of his work. And why shouldn’t he? Full review

Kooza
Cirque du Soleil

Dates and Venue 22 July - 5 September, 2010 | Grand Chapiteau at Concord Pacific Place, Vancouver

Reviewer John Jane

Cirque du Soleil's newest show Kooza, which recently blew into town and set up its Grand Chapiteau on Concord Pacific Place, may actually please both camps. Designed in the mode of the classical circus, its large circular stage is roughly the same shape and size of the traditional ring. Also its marked emphasis on acrobatic performance and expanded clowning signals a departure from the mammoth touring productions of previous shows to a more conventional circus format. Full review
