"It was good - they did loads of back flips and very scary when they were doing some stunts."

Mums review - ★★★★★

"Wow! The energy and flow was impeccable. The music was a drum beat which tempo reflected the awesome dynamics of the show which flowed with elegance and ease despite the obvious that it was filled with complicated movements.

The audience participation was hilarious and a well thought out and choregraphed performance.

Definitely got you engaged and excited to what was coming next.

Very impressed"

"I give it ten thousand stars, I love going to see this show. I love the acrobatics and everything they do. I think they will drop each other but they are good they don't thanfully, they are so strong I like the stage with the lights and the games they play when someone has to draw what they've to do. The drummer was good. I love when they do the tower and stand on each other. The stunts they do are sooo good. I love going to see them. Sad it's the last year of this show but can't wait to see what they do next year.

At the end I spoke the girl and she remembered me from 3 years ago when she done our workshop that was nice. EVERYONE needs to see this show."

"'Go see this brilliant show! It's your last chance!"

Sarah (Age 12) - ★★★★★

"'Wonderful, and inspiring!

I thought Ten Thousand Hours was an amazing show that really displayed the steps you have to take and the energy you have to put in to achieve your goals. The acrobats were absolutely amazing at their roles and ended up doing amazing feats like stacking three people on top of each other or making a human pyramid. One of my favourite parts of the show was when they called a member of the audience to draw what some of the acrobats where doing and and the rest of the acrobats would try and guess what they drew and make the position according to the drawing. Another funny part of the show was when the acrobats did some cat stacks and then pretended to be actual cats. overall Ten Thousand Hours is an excellent show and I would recommend it to everyone."
