Imaginique

I went to a show at Busch Gardens last night to celebrate my birthday. We chose a weekday to do it because we figured the crowds would be less. But when we got there there were long lines waiting to get in. The gates opened up 30 minutes before the start time of 8:30 pm to an enormous outdoor theater. There was room for everyone. As far as the acts themselves - it was all in fantastic color and showed some differences from other events I have been to, especially concerts and circuses. Clowns called on audience members to mimic them. Then the show started, featuring a female singer and driving music, and three women high on trapezes. Then came these tube creatures who lead to two men setting on a plank on a ball. Then came this flying shirtless man using a white dangling cloth as a swing, followed by the "work of three" - three strong looking shirtless men doing all kinds of acrobatics including standing on each other in a 3-tower. Despite the crowds, we had no trouble getting home. The show was presented on one of these balmy summer nights. It was somewhat warm, but occasionally a breeze would come. It was a really nice night and a memorable one - the night we did something unusual and traveled an hour to see an imaginative show - Imaginique. Hope to see more of this in the theme parks in the future.
