Cirque Italia's "Aquatic Spectacular" show has extended its run in Kissimmee by a week. The show, which has pitched its big top on Vine Street, will now give performances through Feb. 10.

The "Aquatic Spectacular" stage holds 35,000 gallons of water for its performers' feats. Ariel acts are a key part of the show, which features hand balancing, contortionists and a high-wire routine.

"Cirque Italia is not an average or traditional circus," says producer Chanté DeMoustes. "It's more of a Broadway meets Bellagio that travels from city to city."
