  • O, Cirque du Soleil, your "O" show Makes many who see it crow, "Oh!" I'll be fair and square-- It has lots of flair But, campy and quaint, doesn't flow. Even before the show began, the questions mounted... O as an endless entity representing infinity? O as in "Oh!" O representing a big orgasm of sensory experience? O as in O-cean? O bringing up the tail end of H2O? The show itself didn't really answer any of these questions, but certainly raised O-so-many more... O dear..why did the little princess covet the dress at the beginning then forget about it for the rest of the show only to wear it at the end? O my...why were those characters in powdered wigs morphed from Louis XIV's court prancing about? O gosh...with all that water around, why didn't they douse the dude who was always on fire? O brother...why pull the plant with the red baseball cap from the audience? O darn...why weren't there more clown acts? The whole production is a quirky fusion of the Summer Olympics (both high diving and synchronized swimming), a very convoluted opera, and Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, all of which are force-fit into a matrix of circus elements. It has a lot of splash and dash but, ultimately, it leaves you high and dry. Like a promising Victorian thriller with surreal elements gone awry, the show bites off more than it can chew and I was left wondering what it all meant because few of the herky-jerky themes are resolved. O stays out of two-star territory because the production values are very high, the athleticism and skill of the troupe is remarkable and the stage machinery is nothing short of amazing. We sat right in the front middle of the upper orchestra (Section 203). This was far enough back to get some semblance of the wet three ring circus they were cramming onto the stage, but close enough to see small details. Even with these great seats, the show wasn't really worth the high price. Outside in the lobby, you can view a sculpture gallery featuring the works of Richard MacDonald. His bronze figures of acrobats and dancers are quirky and cool in a similar vein to the O production. However, just like O, they aren't worth their ridiculously high sale prices. O well!
