| - It took me a hot second to trust Cirque du Soleil again (ref Criss Angel: http://bit.ly/1iR2g7F), but I'm glad that I've found my way back.
Mystère was being offered at a discounted rate (make sure you ask them about it when you're calling in). We got the same rate as they were offering locals, but when we called and forgot to mention any discount, they didn't offer it to us. I think with taxes and all, it ended up being around $70 for Category C tickets. We bought them a few hours before the show, so when I asked if they were the best available seats, he mentioned they were the ONLY available seats that had 3 together. Fortunately, they were center seats, so we were able to get a pretty good view of what was going on.
As for the storyline, I flat out didn't get it. However, despite it not being very straightforward, I found the show to be comical and entertaining. The athleticism that goes into the talent that work for the show is crazy impressive. During the trapeze act (spoiler alert!), one of the performers fell (into the net below), which goes to show that this show is not something that will be perfect each time, but the performers just get right back up and continue where they left off. The show itself also has live music and singer that you can see on either side of the stage.
All in all, I would say this is similar to Zarkana in that it just seems like a bunch of acts put together, but was nevertheless pretty impressive.
