"The Circus starring Britney Spears, the relentlessly high octane and superbly choreographed affair delighted 23,000 assembled fans" claims the UK's Daily Mail, and The Financial Times stating "...with costume changes, a mini-magic show and blingy bicycles, the presentation was a feast for the eyes."

    I am so glad that Britney is returning to NC. I haven't seen her since 2000 on her "Oops!" tour. That was probably one of the most memorable experiences of my childhood. I can't wait to see her on stage again. Ahhhh! I'm sooo excited!
