"The show-stopping highlight, hands down, was an absolutley brilliant Amanda Crockett. Whether cavorting and contorting on a high trapeze or twisting like a pretzel while rolling a derby, end over end, up and down her string-bean-limbs, this straw-haried scarecrow is a one of a kind who does it all. if circus is about thrill, chills, spills and laughs, this gal is the real thing. Plus, she mimes like a mirror."
