A Zany Opening for Cirque du Soleil's Banana Shpeel

Vaudeville is alive and well at the Beacon Theatre as Cirque Du Soleil unveils its vaudeville-style spectacle, Banana Shpeel. The elaborate show is filled with slapstick humor, amazing acrobats, upbeat dance numbers and lead by host Schmelky and his unruly group of clowns. At the show’s May 19 opening, its stars and creative team, as well as some other familiar faces, were on hand to walk the yellow(!) carpet. Luckily, nobody slipped! Take a look at the zany antics here.
