Todd Robbins is bringing back the wonder and fun of carnival side-shows in his new show at the Soho Playhouse in
Robbins approach is to bring life to what was once a lively art. He has festooned the theater with banners from Ten-In-One shows. One
review described his demonstrations of sword swallowing and other
talents as being ?too gross or intense for some audience members not
comfortable with watching a human put himself into deadly situations
for attention.?
The
show includes glass eating, levitation, self-electrocution, fire
eating, the Human Blockhead, Twistina the Rubber Lady, The Headless
Woman, Madame Electra, The Flying Ebola Brothers, and the Gorilla Girl.
The audience is given souvenirs of a whistle and balloon on their way out. It sounds like a lot of fun.
Check out his website for information about the show but also great links to carnival show sites.
