Bodies shouldn’t be able to bend that way. Right? Assembling a cast of multi-disciplinary stars, London Calling is an exercise in expanding the limits of human ability as you gasp in awe and horror at the talent (and flexibility) of these jugglers, contortionists and aerial artists. Shadow puppetry is employed to great effect for one of the most nostalgic and magical moments of the show – I’ll just say “Lion King” and leave it at that – and the London theme brings cohesion to a variety show that would otherwise feel especially segmented given the contrast of skillsets. A message of “following your dreams” no matter how bizarre they may seem offers a tender touch, and with audience members from eight to 80, London Calling is one of the better large shows for families.
