Antigravity

I agree with Charles H.
It is an energetic show and the Hammerstein Ballroom is a perfect venue. The acts were a combination of dance, gymnastics, and acrobatics. Some of the acts reminded me of Spiegeltent’s Absinthe. Antigravity is unique in that it has «shoes» that propel the dancers into the air. These were cool and the show’s producers did not overuse them. The show is close to two hours, so you may wish to splurge for the balcony seats instead of the standing room.

Antigravity is all about muscles, music, light, performance and dance.
The 2007 tour is a compilation of 19 acts they’ve developed over the years. It’s an action packed high energy show that moves quickly and is designed to immerse you in a visual and audible experience.
It’s at the Hammerstein Ballroom which is the perfect venue since it has a very high ceiling. The action takes place on stage and above the main floor.
Overall, it has a mainstream «play it safe» Disney feel — nothing extreme or too risky here. Okay, the naughty school girl outfit in one of the numbers is very sexy and there’s plenty of homo-​eroticism but all well within the bounds of a Broadway musical.
I thought the Lombard twins from Argentina were the most talented. Their combination of showmanship and raw talent made them hard to ignore. Their tap dance and hip hop numbers burst with energy.
They bill themselves as «New York’s answer to Cirque du Soleil». I don’t think they are all that but they are certainly entertaining. I’m always impressed when I see extremely fit people do things with their bodies average people can only dream about. Add some pop music, some hoops and aerial magic and it’s a show worth seeing.
