I stepped into the theater & immediately noticed two things: the aquamarine-detailed ceiling & the faint smell of chlorine. The show hadn't even begun & already I felt positively surrounded by "O's" water motif.
From our seats (section 203, center) we looked down at the stage, which took on various forms throughout the two hour show; sometimes it was a pool that performers dove into, other times it was solid ground for them to walk on. I was in awe of how quickly the transitions took place, how seamlessly gallons & gallons of water would drain.
Maybe I was too mesmerized to notice, but I didn't catch a specific storyline. Each act was independent from the act before & after it. If you've seen other Cirque du Soleil shows, you know you can expect limber acrobats & performers who don't seem to possess a spine. The most beautiful part of the show is the fashion in which the red curtains are taken down & put back up. And I especially enjoyed the braided hair, doll-looking synchronized dancers. They are hauntingly perfect.
I called the box office & paid $123 per ticket, which included a 25% off promotion they were running. I haven't seen or heard of deeply-discounted "O" tickets; a show this unique packs a full house every time.
