For those seeking an exhilarating night on the ‘wildest ride in the universe’ grab your tickets to LASSÚ, which launched its Queensland season in Maroochydore this month.
Lassu is on the Sunshine Coast until 14 June and well worth a look if you are on holidays in the region. It offers guests the chance to witness the next generation of circus excellence as the debut production for Merrik Ashton, a seventh-generation circus performer born into Australia’s renowned Ashton family.
Lassu is a carefully curated blend of modern and traditional circus, dance, and burlesque, woven together with a captivating narrative and is very appealing.
Guests who attended the opening night called the show sexy, sensuous and bursting with talent.
One guest said, “Merrik Ashton’s cosmic cabaret is spectacular and it’s a must see.”
Another said, “It was truly an honour to be amongst such an engaged and committed audience watching true talent with perfect interaction with the captivated guests.”
The Cosmic Cabaret is a bold, risqué circus like no other with the stars leading the show with energy, pride and a huge amount of talent.
With meticulously rehearsed acrobatics, fire eating and sassy risqué dancing, the performers showed their incredible strength and discipline while performing for a suitably engaged audience.
The precision and dedication the acts demanded to appear composed and relaxed allowed guests to sit back and admire the stars recognizing the many years behind the routines.
The high quality of the production and the passion put into the show by accomplished creative director Mitchell Woodcock was evident.
“Mitchell is amazing and already so accomplished as a creative director. He had just finished choreography for Annie, and we are so grateful to even have him on board and be so into it,” producer Merrik said.
“He always had the show’s best interests at heart and really is a genius and it will be interesting to watch his career as he has so much ahead of him.”
“Our guests won’t believe the production quality and talent in the show; it really is incredible.”
“I am so proud of this show – it’s a world class production and everyone who sees it will agree, I’m sure.”
While the show is only open to people over eighteen due to the perhaps risqué content and the service of alcohol, Merrik said the show appeals to the younger demographic eighteen plus for the themes and the older demographic will enjoy the much higher level of production involved which makes the show a standout.
“They appreciate that, and there is something for everyone,“ he said.
For Merrik, LASSÙ represents the next evolution of live performance, one that embraces spectacle, storytelling, and raw talent in a way that is both thrilling and unforgettable.”
The show is performed at the LASSÙ Chapiteau, a 30m round big top structure with white and black trim with wooden flooring and cabaret-style seating, creating an intimate and immersive atmosphere.
The rousing show will remain in its Dalton Drive, Maroochydore location until 14 June before it moves to North Lakes on 20 June, Mackay on 18 July and Townsville on 1 August.
Lassu is now on at Dalton Drive, Maroochydore. For tickets and more information please email go to www.lassutheshow.com.au.
