A Percusshroomist!! Percussionist who lives in a mushroom! What a great idea! But......
Lee Miller's a terrific percussionist! Make her mushroom shorter so the audience can see her play! The audience needs to hear a bigger beat and to see her in action, along with the rest of the talents!
Ugh. Why? I hate the real cirque du soleil. I certainly wouldn't pay for this fake one.
