Frizzabelle Music

The apparently interactive musical score of Frizzabelle was fun and added to the circus quality of the work. Congratulations to Flyod the Mime (Peter Baker) for his sound sense of whimsy and classic SFX.
Go ahead run away join the circus.

Juggler, acrobatics, a continuous whip cream pie in the face joke, and musical accompanist that added to the frivolity and humor. It was a pure circus experience of slap stick and visual joyful jokes. You may will ask I can run away with the circus
Not great.

For young kids this might be a fun show, but for anyone who knows no one in the company(me). it had virtually no story, and sub par talent. Two kitties for the 2 jugglers.
Delightful! Uplifting! Joyful!

Howels the Clown (Spencer Faust) shows great acrobatic skill and acting talent, and Floyd the Mime (Peter Baker) is a superb actor and music composer. The two of them have created a fabulous finale, with the clown performing a terrific break dance to original music. The entire ensemble entertains in the true sense of the word, like a small-town circus. The story can be enjoyed by all ages -- it moves along quickly (after a slow start), and uproarious laughter is heard from the audience throughout the show. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 kitties is b/c the directing could have improved a few spots where things didn't quite click. The cast works well together, light-heartedly laughing at themselves and handling little production glitches with aplomb. Highly recommended!
very cute!

A slow start leads to lots of fun with hilarious clowns and circus acts that make you feel like you're sitting ringside at a real circus. The cast puts all their energy into this show and do a very fine job. The two stars are Frizzabelle who is just adorable, with strong acting skills and Howels the Clown who is a daredevil dancer.
Spinning Bowtie

Not only does this show have suspense, action and belly-laughs - it is the only Fringe Fest show with a spinning bowtie!
Adorable!

Aside from some weaknesses in the script and a few weaknesses in the cast, this was a fun show. Great for kids. Millie Annis as Frizzabelle was absolutely adorable. Both of the clowns were great! The highlight of the show comes with the break dancing. Amazing talent!
Great fun!

'Frizzabelle and the Circus' is a fun show! Simple as that. Lots of juggling, humor and break dancing. No complaints here!
Lots of clowning around

What fun! You will see circus-worthy performances indeed, with daredevil stunts and juggling, sideshow characters and acrobatics, clown tricks and breakdancing. the show starts with the story of how Frizzabelle ends up at the circus, and when the clowning around starts, the crowds are all smiles. Fun for everyone!
