AY Mag says Acrobats are one of Branson's Top 5 Things to do with Kids

Jodie Spears in writing for AY Mag had this to say about the New Shanghai Circus being one of the Top 5 Things to Do with Kids in Branson, Missouri:

"If you’re looking to be awestruck, look no further than Branson’s New Shanghai Theatre and the Acrobats of China. This show is full of dynamic costumes, lights, and acrobatic feats that will leave children and adults wowed. The troupe’s more than 40 acrobats perform carefully-orchestrated, skillful stunts and will dazzle you with their death-defying feats of “strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, contortion and magic.”

Thanks Jodie and AY Mag! - the Acrobats (all 50 of us)

BRANSON, MO. • "I'll admit I was curious. In the weeks preceding our trip to Branson, I had heard opinions on the "Live Music Capital of the World" from several dozen people. They ranged from criticisms of the kitsch to raves about the activities for kids. Two of the biggest cheerleaders were my parents, who visit Branson twice a year. They helped us plan and then joined us on a family trip to the Ozarks town." (Read the rest of the story here: http://www.stltoday.com/travel/article_47df42eb-394b-5ef5-92e7-3d347ce747b9.html

Here's one little tidbit of what Amy said about us: "A spectacular display of human strength, flexibility and skill..."
