After achieving worldwide success, Korean phenomenon Jump has landed at Union Square — and it's easy to see what makes its appeal so universal. Almost wordless, the show is a high-energy mashup of martial-arts spectacle and vaudevillian slapstick comedy. One routine starring a sake-loving uncle makes the best case for alcoholic acrobatic hilarity since Jackie Chan's Legend of Drunken Master. Occasionally breaking from its impeccable choreography, the cast brings audience members on stage for improv; the ensuing laughs are big and simple, appealing to the circus fan in all of us.
