Juggling great Rudy Cardenas once again is thrilling and delighting his fans with contortions of hats, cups, and balls . . . Balancing stars The Agostinos' applause is well- enhanced by the gasps they receive for their amazing feats of strength, rhythm, and movement . . . And Galla Shawn flies through the air with the greatest of ease and beauty as trapeze star of the show . . . The original lyrics and music of Leonard Adelson and Jim Harbert are brightening, Bill Campbell's costumes are show-stopping, and Harvey Warren has designed Frank Sennes production with the skill of a genius, making this all-new, ever-so-spectacular show shine with . . .
