  • Show in the Sky: The Low Down
    What is it?
    It's a mini-musical/mardi gras parade with dancers, music, and floats that spin around the ceiling above the heads of the audience. There are several variations with the music, dancing, and some details different between them but it's all basically the same concept. Warning: some of the shows are definitely PG-13.

    Is it worth the cost?
    It's free so that's good. You can also pay to join the parade and ride on one of the floats, which seems like a gigantic waste of money but probably no more so than dumping it into a slot machine. Your call.

    What else do I need to know?
    As mentioned above, some of the shows are kind of adult oriented. There's no nudity but there is some writing of the scantily clad variety.

    Get there early to get a prime viewing spot along the railings on the second floor shopping arcade. This is not only the best place to watch the show but also your best chance to snare some Mardi Gras beads being thrown from the floats.

    What's the bottom line?
    It used to be a fun diversion and certain shows still are, but the sexified versions fail at being sexy and just come across as silly.
