TOTEM: Cirque du Soleil

I'm gonna be real with you... I'm terrified of clowns. But after last night, I am a convert (for some clowns - the IT clown freaks me out and probably always will). It was my first time at the world famous Cirque du Soleil. I hadn't been to the circus since I was little - which by the way triggered my fear of clowns - and honestly, I'm not sure why, but I wasn't expecting this to be in an actual tent-like thing. When I saw it, I'm not gonna lie, my expectations fell...but man, I was blown away.

Kalen & I were lucky enough to have been gifted these tickets by his parents and I just couldn't get over the amazingly great seats they got us. We were literally four, five rows from the front so a huge thank you to them for getting me absolutely hooked on this production.

There was a clown doing some pre-show tricks & stuff to entertain us and I was petrified. Kalen kept reassuring me that it wasn't like the white faced, red mouthed clowns with the line through their eyes and that he was a funny, sad clown. I wasn't so convinced. But as the show went on, I absolutely loved this clown's personality! He was absolutely hilarious & actually quite adorable. p.s. I looked in the programme and wow, he's cute :P

I hate that the souvenir items & programmes are so overpriced there but we got a keyring, magnet & a programme. I always like to get a programme whenever I go to musicals & now circuses because they're a nice reminder of the things I went to, etc.

I can't wait to see what other shows they'll have after TOTEM & will most definitely be going again! All the acts were absolutely jaw-dropping & honestly my legs were cramping up because I was so nervous they'd get something wrong or fall or drop something. Am I the only one that does that?

Well, let me know if you, too share my fear of clowns & love of Cirque du Soleil. I'd love to hear your experiences & recommendations as well.

Love Always,
