Devotchka and friends at Big Apple Circus Sideshow
» In the Big Apple Circus tent set up at Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center, bands sound like they're singing in the shower. But when you've got Devotchka, who wrote the perfect soundtrack for Little Miss Sunshine, performing with two burlesque dancers ("The Slavic Sisters") and one acrobatic male dancer, it really didn't seem to matter to anyone — the tent was filled with grown-ups who knew how to have a good time.
