Shanghai Circus to perform three days in Honolulu

Advertiser Staff

The Shanghai Circus, a troupe of agile Chinese acrobats, will return to the Islands for five performances over three consecutive days, starting Jan. 12 at the Hawai'i Theatre.

The 2007 edition of the popular show will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 12, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Jan. 13 and 14. Tickets go on sale Saturday at the box office, at 1130 Bethel St.; by phone, 528-0506; or online at hawaiitheatre.com. Reserved seats are $32.50, $27.50 and $22.50, with discounts for seniors, military and children.

The ensemble from the People's Republic of China defies gravity with feats on the ground and in the air, testing balance, flexibility and strength.
