I'm going to the Circus..

Nope, not the kind of circus that I would take Addison to... I'm talking about the kind where Britney Spears is the "ring leader". KK bought me a ticket to go with her, Micah, and Karen to the Britney Spears concert coming up on March 31st and I'm just counting down the days. By far the best (early) birthday present EVER! Not just because I need to get out and go somewhere other then the park but because I'm one of those crazy, "leave Britney alone", obsessed fans. It doesn't matter how close she gets to being a complete train wreck I will always LOVE her and will be the first to buy all of her music on itunes! I've been working out to her latest and greatest CD Circus, getting in the zone, and am determined to memorize all of the lyrics so I don't miss out on anything! Only 1 more week!

Inside Scoop

As Britney Spears gears up to kick off her Circus tour March 3 in New Orleans, PEOPLE enlisted the tour’s resident illusionist, Ed Alonzo, for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the tricks – musical and otherwise – the star, 27, has in store for fans.

So is this comeback for the serially-troubled Spears? “I don’t know if I would call it a comeback,” says Alonzo, a lead illusionist on MyNetworkTV’s Masters of Illusion. “It’s more of a continuation of the greatness she always had.”

Britney Plays a Magician’s Assistant

During one song (Alonzo won’t say which one), Britney becomes part of his magic act. “She’s incorporated into major illusions. She’ll do dissection, where she’s sawed in half, and transposition, where she’s in one place and ends up in another place. She’s doing all the classic elements of magic.”

Yep, It’ll be a Spectacle

“There are three giant [circus] rings with unbelievable things hanging in the air and flying around,” says Alonzo.

Expect Outrageous Dancing

“She’s dancing so hard in the show,” Alonzo says. “It’s elements of hip-hop, tumbling, it’s really outrageous. The kind of choreography in the show is similar to the kind of stuff you see in America’s Best Dance Crew.”

Brit’s Back in Shape

“She looks really incredible,” says Alonzo, who played Max, the owner of the diner hangout, in the ’90s TV hit Saved By The Bell. “She’s really toned. Her stomach looks fantastic. This is the Britney Spears people remember from the past. Even stronger and better.”

This Time, Britney’s on Point

Forget her bungled performance at the 2007 MTV’s VMAs. “She’s really got it together,” says Alonzo. “She’s totally focused. And she’s working her butt off.”
