SLAVA'S SNOWSHOW to Play Limited Engagement at the Sondheim — Page 2

Saw it Monday, I enjoyed it, but you won't miss much if you skip it. I mean, it comes back every few years. The big moments are great, and some of the smaller moments too. I was smiling most of the time even if some of it was like, "okay, what's next."

Luv this dreamlike encounter! So much better than similar constructs (BlueMan, Gadzillion, Stomp, Cirque du Soleil). The clown sketches (co. of 12) touched me, tapping into my inner child, but if you're not inclined that way, the interactive aspects will engage your senses.

Ladies dressed to the 9's with lacquered 'just right' hairdos for later events need to be forewarned to stay away from this one. The forceful in-your-face blower almost freaked me out when a piece of confetti got blown in my throat (& it seemed to keep blowing for more than a min.) That's what I get for sitting 5th row on a central aisle!

I luv that fiber netting that gets pulled over everyone's heads at the end of the first act! Great FOG,confetti, water sprays from clowns umbrellas in the audience💨 (Kids need to stay in their seats though.) Slava Polunin of Bolshoi St. Pete. Circus since 2013 has been presenting Snow show since '93. This was my 2nd time with it having 1st experienced it down at Union Sq.

Playbill cover features a pic of a clown pushing a big snowball which is a HUGE error. Current show has big inflatable orbs but NO large snowballs being pushed.

It's a wonderfully surreal piece of work. Cant recommend it highly enough.

GreasedLightning said: "Has anyone seen this show (or any show, really) from the extreme side Orchestra, specifically around row L-O? Looking at tickets for both Slava and Mrs. Doubtfire and those are a bit lower in price than anything else in the Orchestra, even the very last row."

I was pretty far left for Beautiful, around the L-O range. The view was great – I remember thinking how much better it was than I expected, and being grateful that the Sondheim designers presumably took sightlines into account during the renovations more than some of the older theater designers did.

Obviously there are no guarantees for a new show with new sets and staging, but I think you'll be better off far side in that theater than in most.
