Will they be wearing plaid, like the lumberjacks?

looks a lot more fun then what has been there. Any idea on how long they are contracted for? Hoping they make it to August.

Looks fun!

Eh. Cirque du Soleil has ruined my enjoyment of these type of shows. I'll just stick to La Nouba for my dose of circus style entertainment.

Isn't Canada where Cirque du Soleil came from? I'm excited to see this!

Now that looks like entertainment! Something we would stop for and watch, we never did for the music bands as that is not really our cup of tea to sit and watch people play a rock band.

This looks great! But I'm surprised at how short Alberta Bound lasted at Epcot. Was it even a month?

 

[doctornick]

This looks pretty cool to me. Would definitely stop and watch it if they are still around when I go next to Epcot.

 

[Mike S]

Looks fun. I'm sure those are instrumentals of actual songs but I don't have the time now to really listen.

 

[Zac Skellington]

The Off Kilter peeps will never stop complaining, but this looks fun. I'm sure they will draw a crowd.

It was stated from the beginning it would be a short run. It was established musicians / alumni from other groups helping fill the gap before the next contract group showed up. Rumor has it though that Alberta Bound was better received than either of the two previous contract groups, so it may not be the last time we see them.

Less Parfaits? Umm

"The Perfects"

This is a great find! This troupe is very good. They have been performing around the world since 2006, and have been well received.Although several years old, here is a review from Washington that is typical of the reviews they receive.

"Les Parfaits Inconnus" is a quebecois group that performed at the Kennedy Center Open House. Theirs is a high energy act that combines some rock & roll music, some jazz music, lots of acrobatics, circus type stuff like juggling and balancing, and lots and lots of humor. Don't let the silly pictures fool you though, they are extremely talented and thoroughly entertaining."

Looks to have the potential for the kind of cross generational entertainment this half of Epot desperately needs more of. Will be interesting to see what kind of show they do in this space.

Oh. I thought they meant less this -

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Oh. I thought they meant less this -

A kiosk selling parfaits would have been preferable to the lumberjacks...

New troupe looks promising!

 

[ToTBellHop]

Oh. I thought they meant less this -

A yogurt perfect.

Looking forward to seeing their performance. The acrobatic show thats put on at China always enthralled me and there was always a crowd gathered to watch, so I think the show at Canada will attract guests too. Anything that showcases feats of strength, acrobatics, and comedy should be a winner. Hope they make a good impression and stay around for a while.

Definitely better than the lumberjacks, but I'll probably just keep walking.
