Lukam165's review of Circus Of Horrors

“I have just seen Circus of Horrors at The Derngate in...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Lukam165 on 03/03/2015

I have just seen Circus of Horrors at The Derngate in Northampton. It promised so much but was a huge disappointment for myself and my teenage son. The circus acts were tired and lame. The singing and music were uninspiring. I couldn't understand what Dr Haze was saying half the time as the tone and pitch were all wrong. The vamp girls were trying too hard to be sexy and just ended up looking as bored as I felt, very dull to watch. The final straw for me was when they got a man out of the audience and put a peeled banana between his legs for a vertically challenged member of the cast to retrieve. I saw this same act thirty years ago in Pizza Hut when an entertainer turned up for some ones birthday, it was funny thirty years ago at Pizza Hut but pitiful in 2015 on stage in a theatre. None of the other cast members were required to flash their privates in the name of entertainment apart from the dwarf. Very 1980's, uncool and a bit tragic. Judging by the half hearted occasion clapping from a small section of the subdued audience, I don't think I was the only one to wish they had saved their money and stayed at home.
