There is so much to do and see in Southern California, but it has been a long time since we have seen a circus come to town.

Well, the circus is finally in LA, and it is not just any circus — it is the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil.

The show is called "OVO," and "The SoCal Scene’s" Melvin Robert was treated to a very special behind-the-scenes day with performers to learn what it takes to make the lead characters come to life.

Watch “The SoCal Scene” at 9 p.m. every Thursday on Spectrum News 1 and the Spectrum News app.
