| - I think when I yelped this previously, I was yelping a memory of a really wonderful time in a previous life. Actually I know that's what I did. This is, unfortunately, not my favorite Cirque show.
I frankly think it gets drawn out and...boring. It has way more "comedy" than athleticism and story. Athleticism still gets a 5 star rating, but the rest--kind of slow.
The first thing that irked me is that I couldn't bring a drink in, even though it was already in plastic. "We don't allow alcohol inside" was what the usher said to me. I took her to mean that it was a family show and there was no alcohol inside at all. So I slammed my Jameson and went in. Ummmm there's a snack bar with booze served up 15 feet away. So they just wanted me to buy their drinks even though the drink I had purchased was from TI. Whatever.
The next upsetting thing--no bathrooms inside the theater! What? I'm sure they could have redesigned within the last 10 years to make some potties without having to leave the theater. Harumph.
Lastly, like I touched on before, it's just not as exciting and fast-paced as some of the other shows. Like you don't get the real bang for your buck.
The drumming bit at the end is the coolest part IMO. There are definitely cool elements to the show, it's just not my fave.
I'd skip in favor of one of the water Cirque (or Cirque-type, winkity wink) shows, Zumanity, or Ka.
