If you were to ask me what the story of Lucky Pigeons was, I probably could not tell you because I sat there for the first fifteen minutes trying to work it out. If you were going to ask me what I thought of the show, regardless of this , it would be a whole different story.
If you are wanting to see a circus act this year then this is a show you will not want to miss. This is a show that is so different to other circuses I have been to. Yes it has your juggling and your clowning but the one thing it does is the acrobats and gymnastics in it are sublime.
I would say that this show is more like a theatrical dance concept as it relies heavily on music and movements to develop the story which when it focuses on people dressed as pigeons, you would want!
The pigeons are a really unusual touch but it works so well. It may be their debut year but it was incredibly entertaining. It is also a show for all the family, children and adults in the audience were really enjoying it.
Flying high circus that I would recommend regardless of the confusing storyline (it doesn’t really make a difference)
***** 5 Stars
