Get set… ready and go! I can’t miss this; it’s my first time watching a show like this. Honestly, I don’t know much about these kinds of programs since I’m not really into reading books, and I never seem to have time for TV.

We finally got into The Pavillion. It was smaller than I expected, but felt cozy. Genting did a great job hiring staff to help guests find their seats; even though my seat was easy to find, three people insisted on showing me the way, so I let them.
I thought our seats would be far from the stage based on the seating diagram, but they turned out to be excellent. Just five rows away. We had a clear view of everyone on stage, although cameras weren’t allowed. Before the show began, a group performed Malay dances, which were impressive, though few seemed to appreciate them.
The set constructed for the live show in Genting was the largest ever made. It truly stands out, a stunning design that looks like a high-tech toy factory. According to reports about the show’s production, it took three months of meticulous planning and execution to complete the set, which is built from solid steel.
The show opened energetically, with performers coming alive as the clock struck. The robotic opening dance was impressive and set an exciting tone. Soon after, dancers opened a box from which a woman in white emerged, performing stunning acrobatics. Balancing on a hula hoop in the air with just her feet and even her toes. Her graceful performance was both thrilling and entertaining.
We enjoyed a performance by a group of Spanish dancers. I have to admit, both the dance and the costumes were impressive. Absolutely stunning! It’s easy to see why so many people are eager to learn how to dance. I never realized it could look so attractive.
The Dancing Gauchos came on stage, impressing with their skillful swinging and twisting hand movements. Their stunts were incredible! I’d love to be able to spin my hands that fast.

Afterwards, we enjoyed a lively tap dancing performance. I was truly impressed by the attention to detail in their costumes and could only imagine the dedication and intense training required to perform so flawlessly. The whole show was incredibly impressive and well executed. Absolutely stunning!
Seven Russian performers entered the stage, impressively balancing on a 12-foot pole using only their heads and shoulders. At one point, they nearly made a mistake that could have been life-threatening.
The stage dimmed briefly before lighting up again with a dynamic dance routine that introduced the motorcycle stunt inside the Globe of Doom. Each dancer wore punk-inspired clothing, held the front of the motorcycle, and delivered impressive dance moves.
The Globe of Doom show was honestly super cool and exciting. I’ve always thought motorbikes were awesome. There’s just something about them that feels really thrilling to me. Riding one gives off this amazing sense of freedom. While watching the act, three riders zipped around inside this giant metal ball at crazy speeds, pulling off some seriously impressive moves. It actually looked a bit like they were spinning around in a snow globe. And man, you could tell that even the tiniest slip-up in there would be a big deal.
The Ukrainian clowns gave a predictable performance, similar to what I’ve seen on TV, but it was still enjoyable to watch in person.
The show’s main highlight was the Wheel of Thrill, featuring a performer who walked, jumped, skipped rope, juggled torches, and walked blindfolded inside and outside a rotating wheel. He nearly fell several times and did fall during his final act, but fortunately landed close to the floor and only limped away at the end. It simply wasn’t his night. Hopefully tomorrow will get better.
All the stars gathered at the center of the stage and took a bow as they were introduced one final time. The 80-minute show wrapped up with a photo session, though taking pictures required payment otherwise, velverse would already be overflowing with photos.
This show is a must-see. RM56 gets you a 5th row seat for acrobatics that truly amazing, jaw-dropping and heart-stopping performances.
I couldn’t take photos inside, but I managed to snap a few outside despite my hands shaking from the cold. The pictures ended up being small.
