| - I read some of the constructive feedback below from people rating this show less than 5 stars and honestly, they 100% have valid points and while I agree with a lot of what they say, I STILL LOVED THE SHOW. I've seen La Reve and all the other Cirque du Soleil (CDS) shows in town as well as the smaller (CDS-like) ones like WOW! and Inferno. Yes, this show doesn't have as much of the CDS "stuff" but it has more than enough to satisfy a CDS vet PLUS the amazing, amazing (mostly MJ style) dancing! I had tears in my eyes watching the main male soloist dancer. Perfection, truly. No entertainer has moved me like that since MJ himself. I'm from the Thriller generation and was IN LOVE with MJ growing up, so it was more important to me to have an MJ experience rather than more of an "O" or "Mystere" experience. For me, the selling point of this show is MJ, less so CDS, but this is just me.
I do think the storyline of the 4 characters was weak as others have said, but it's kind of classic CDS to have that type of thread throughout their show. I think this show could do away with that storyline.
My husband and I plan to go again at some point. We sat front row on the floor and while it's great feeling the energy and seeing the performers super close, we'd like to sit farther back next time.
This is as close as we can get to live MJ and is a must see for MJ super fans like me.
