Teatro Zinzanni

The birthday boy's celebration began at Teatro Zinzanni this last friday. We had an excellent time! Not only was the Tom Douglas' menu great (though, as a picky eater, a set menu is a little more challenging) but the performances were fantastic. The feel of Zinzanni whisks you to a place far away from reality from the moment you walk into their doors.

Highlights of the performance included Kevin Kent as Manchester, Die Maiers (trapeze and comedy acts) and Ming & Rui (previous Cirque performers from China). My favorite part of the Zinzanni experience is always the characters interacting with the audience. While many locals do not venture to Zinzanni because of the ticket price, I highly suggest everyone splurges to see it at least once. Even better, plan a group outing for discounted rates.

We noticed local performers working as wait-staff (including the lead from ACT's Mitzi's Abortion), because in Zinzannia, even the wait-staff are choreographed entertainers!
