Le Grande Cirque - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - Show Featuring Circus Type Stunts and Tricks

Le Grande Cirque is a show staged at the Palace Theater located at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and features solo and group trapeze, contortionists, the magical cloud swing, the Strong Men, the incredible Swan Lake ballerina, bungees, bikes, human towers, plate spinners and dancers. There are approximately 600 parking and motor coach spaces on premises. Showtime is at 8pm Monday to Saturday, whilst there are extra shows Wednesday at 10am and 2pm on Thursday.

The two hour show features a cast of 50 world champion acrobats and performers from over 15 countries across the world including China, Russia and Monte Carlo, and aims to be the new Cirque Du Soleil. Executive Producer, David King and his team of directors traveled far and wide searching for talent including world champion Chinese acrobats. The amazing tricks performed by some of the world's greatest acrobats and other acts in the show should appeal to people of all ages.

The acrobats leap from one huge pole to another getting a grip with their hands, then their legs before sliding down the pole and stopping inches from the ground. Meanwhile a young girl rides a bike around the stage, whilst 13 other performers leap on board. Stunts are performed without the use of wires or nets to keep the audience of the edge of their seats.

Many of these performances include stunts never tried elsewhere including the wheel of death, which is 30 foot ball spinning at 60 miles per hour with an acrobat performing stunts inside and out of the wheel. The show even features a dog act with six Russian poodles performing a number of clever tricks. The animal acts always appeal especially to the younger members of the audience.

The show features the most famous classical music of the last 100 years, with the addition of a strong pounding beat that helps to drive the show along. Exotic costumes are also huge part of the production with designers apparently very keen to offer their services. Put together the spectacular lighting, costumes and the classical rock music all helps to knit together the foundations of the show.

Le Grande Cirque takes its show on tour and has played at theaters across the world to over 10 million people. It broke box office records at the Australian Sydney Opera House in 2008. In Myrtle Beach the show has received good reviews from the local press.

The Box Office is located inside the main lobby for ticket purchases and pick-up and is open from 9am to 9pm Monday through Saturday and 9am to 6pm on Sundays, with

show and dinner packages available at special rates for groups of 15 or more. School groups are also encouraged to watch the show given it provides an education of different cultures. Children will be afforded the opportunity of a question and answer session involving the Chinese acrobats with the help of an interpreter.
