“Mesmerizing!”- Best Rated Reviews
Songblazers, by Cirque du Soleil, is one of the most memorable, “best of the best” tributes to Country Music on the creative stage. If we could sum it up in one word, we would say it is “mesmerizing”!
Cirque du Soleil performers debut first-rate talent and entertainment in their compelling performance of Songblazers, an iconic tribute to Country Music. Featuring some of Country’s most memorable scores and songs, Cirque du Soleil artists defy the imagination with their spellbinding acrobatic feats combined with Country Music classics as well as blue grass. We found the entire experience of Songblazers to be enthralling.
The pre-show captivates audiences by inviting audience members into the jovial world of the County Fair. The audience experiences the fun of competing in a yodeling contest, chicken-clucking, and musical abilities.
The dynamic between Cirque du Soleil and Country Western music is absolutely phenomenal. Initially, we did not know what to expect. We wondered how Cirque du Soleil and Country Music could possibly go together To our surprise and delight, just as always, it was mind-defying in the most wonderful of ways in true Cirque style!
We were spellbound by the amazing jump rope artists – who jump rope inside a jump rope inside a jump rope and other acrobatic feats. (Yes! You read that right!)
We marveled at the way a railroad crossing arm became a balance beam where a glamorous woman did triple summersaults in mid-air to Country-western music!
The gymnast who performed the hoop act was graceful and lovely as a dove.
We also found the clown acts to be truly entertaining! They were filled with both candid and jesting moments of hilarity, but yet again to a backdrop of a Country-Western world, such as a rail road crossing and train, the Grand Ole Opry, and a night under the stars singing and songwriting. There were several acts to follow, including a mind-defying Solo cup juggling act.
The show even features native Texans, including Wayne Wilson, the Associate Show Director and Comedic Concept Designer – Train Brakeman, Clown (from Houston, TX) as well as Ellen Melissa-Story, Band – Fiddler & Vocalist and Allora Leonard, Ranch Girl, Vocalist & Guitar.
We highly recommend Songblazers. It truly is a trailblazing show in and of itself both for Cirque and in the entertainment and arts industry at large. There is nothing like it. It is fan experience you will find yourself thinking back on for years to come.
Rating: 5 Stars! “Best of the best!”
