Chaoyang Theater — Attraction in Beijing

The Beijing Acrobats show is hands down the most astounding performance you will ever see. Cirque du Soleil regularly recruits these talents to perform lesser feats.

They recently went from two to three shows per day, and you can tell that the performers were exhausted by the third show, with many missing their tumbling routines. I worry for their welfare and would urge visitors to see the early shows for the best experience.

Pricing is a little out of whack - the average visitor is not going to shell out 400-800 RMB for closer seats. We will sit 10 rows back and pay half price for future visits. Chaoyang Theater should adjust the price to fit local economics. They can easily sell out every night if the front seats weren't...

This seemed like a tourist attraction that would be cheesy when we purchased tickets; but it actually was a magnificent showcase of talent. You won’t realize until the end just how many people are in the show; as it seems like there are many small groups who perform the different acts. The show lasts an hour and you will see high energy tricks performed by young men jumping through high hoops; or riding motorbikes while doing tricks; or young girls balancing their entire body weight using their mouths. We sat in row 3 and could see the work going into the show on the faces of the young performers. Was a fun evening...
