Review by Julie Sedenko Davis - a freelance writer and author of Tourist Town Guide to Branson coming in 2011

Many compare this show to Las Vegas' "Cirque du Soleil". It is filled with jaw dropping, "do not try this at home" stunts and contortion acts that can leave a person sore just by watching. Each segment opens with narration about various aspects of Chinese culture. Demonstrations include fast-moving performances like the "hoop-divers" whose precision and talent are truly astonishing. There are also several acts which require audience patience as performers set up and take down intricate maneuvers. The background music is Chinese and some American audiences may find it to be a little tiring. The Acrobats of China is an excellent choice for those looking for something different from Branson's country music fare.
