Review by FELICITY LOLA DAYHEW, age 9.

Cirque du Soleil - Ovo, is a colourful adventure with amazing stunts, jaw dropping feats and funny jokes. It starts out with all the performers (who are dressed up as bugs) all but one, dancing on stage. Then they stopped and the last bug comes on stage with a giant egg on his back, huffing and puffing. Then he says "Ovo!". The leader of all the bugs says"Ovo?".

Then on come some ants and they start to do tricks with food on their feet. Then there was a man who was using a Diabolo doing tricks. He tried one, two, three, then when he did four he dropped them three times then tried again and got it right. It could have been done on purpose. At the end a giant flower opens and in the audience you could smell it. 

Those acts were just a few. But there is different excitement before the show. When you arrive there is a huge tent and it's striped yellow and blue. If you have a V.I.P pass you should see quite a lot of famous people. I saw people like Lara Bingle, Scott Cam and Hayden from Masterchef. You could see maybe someone different.

Cirque du Soleil has actors from all over the world. To top it all off, at the end I got a passion fruit meringue and a cupcake. I loved the show and the whole trip.
