| - Mystere is hard to explain in words. There wasn't an obvious theme to the show, as is with LOVE at the Mirage; but the costumes, the display of human strength and beauty, coupled with live musicians and talented vocalists make this production mesmerizing. As a former gymnast, I especially enjoyed the see-saw and trampoline performances; there is no doubt that the cast is world-class.
The only unpleasant parts were a fussy adult baby; his role is necessary as it acts like an intermission for the players. Yet, if I had to sit through him again, I would be greatly annoyed. The audience participation portions would made me uncomfortable; there was a man literally taking popcorn buckets from people and dumping them on other audience members. I noticed that replacements were provided by ushers soon after, but still, it's unnerving. But this is only just about 3% of what is mainly a great experience.
The costumes are imaginative, the stage floor raises in levels and rotates. There is always something new to notice, so I hardly think one could get a bad seat in the house. I was fortunate enough to sit in Section 203, seat 11 (which is the DEAD MIDDLE) of the entire audience, a great view. The price was about $80, but half-price tickets at the Fashion Show Mall could get you in a same-day show for $20 less.
