Breathtaking was what many described the action packed burlesque, cabaret circus style production called Limbo that ended in a standing ovation and many saying they would like to come back and see it again.
Limbo runs through the Spiegeltent season in the Wollongong arts and cultural precinct until May 6.
But for the next six weeks Merrigong Theatre Company’s artistic director Simon Hinton said there will be many other great acts as well such as comedians Dave Hughes, Peter Helliar and Judith Lucy as well as Circus Monoxide, So Popera, Kate Miller-Heidke, Dan Sultan and Djuki Mala.
