DAO

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

THE ASIAN CELEBRATION features, acrobatics, dance and martial arts in fusion with stunning costumes, exquisite stage design and beautiful music. DAO is mind and body in motion.

Their words and about right.

TOO LATE, TOO LOUD, TOO DARK,....the big three negatives and they got them all.

TOO LOUD.

This 81 minute new show at the RIVIERA...THIRD FLOOR....has lots of pluses.

TOO LOUD.

Cirquesque type acrobatics in costume at full speed, the usual jumping through hoops, tumblers, pole climbing (which I loved), contorist, chair builder and comedy.

TOO LOUD.

This was a decent show upstairs in the cavernous Riviera which was unable to post bills, signs or advertising for the show...phone system here 794 9433 a journey to Neptune itself...but worth the effort to see this 830 Wednesday thru Monday production. $40, $50, $60

TOO LOUD.

A decent crowd in this upstairs venue with opportunities to tighten it up some and blur out a lot of posturing and useless jumping around.

I liked the show...fast...talented...costumed and fun.

TOO LOUD. A BIT TOO DARK AND WAY TOO LATE.

A lot to like here and a lot to be recommended...this played to my personal taste !

88 B+
