From balancing en pointe on a man's head to climbing a three-story tower of teetering chairs and mastering The Wheel of Death, Cirque Shanghai's gifted cadre of contortionists, aerialists and gymnasts perform a breath-taking and surprising array of circus feats in Bai Xi, currently running at The New Victory Theater through January 1, 2012. Bai Xi represents the longest run of The New Victory season, with 27 public performances, including Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Below, BroadwayWorld brings you backstage photos!
