My overall impression

Button Wagon is a onetime glimpse at amazing talent. The woman is a captivating contortionist who intermixes her talents with some amazing physical “rag-doll” characterizations. The gentleman defines object illusionist as he is pulled to and fro by a windless umbrella, or stands as large rings levitate in front of him. This show leaves you with so much to see. If you are not watching their birdlike hair, you can fall in love with the giant sleeping burlap rabbit, or the large spool of thread in which one of the characters disappears. Overall, Button Wagon would be a sad thing to miss, because these two rag-doll vagabon lovebirds have a delightfully beautiful and hauntingly physical offbeat story to share.
