  • I've been to three Cirque shows (the others being Kà and Zumanity). If I had to choose between O and Kà I would give a very slight edge to O. They're different presentations of Cirque shows, with Kà more story-oriented and straightforward and O being more abstract and dreamlike. I just prefer O because of the acrobatics revolving around a water theme... and that the show is just simply more beautiful. The No1DP purchased two tickets in section 103, row F, seats 18 and 19. Two Golden Circle aisle seats will cost a pretty penny... $198/person with base and entertainment tax. The view was quite stunning and I got to see the faces of the people closest to the stage. For purchasing tickets the No1DP purchased them directly from the website. We actually had a hassle-free experience picking up our tickets. Line was not long at all. Moral lesson? Purchase your tickets directly from the website. Buying from third party just creates undue hassle. O performs twice a day Wednesday-Sunday at 7:30pm and 10:00pm. We ended up doing dinner afterwards as we learned our lesson being late twice to two other Cirque shows to do dinner *after* the show ends. We ended up being on time. At the entrance is a permanent exhibition of artwork by Richard MacDonald that depicts dancers and acrobats at work. We didn't check it out all that much but from the few sculptures I passed by it looked like there was plenty of detail and effort to bring the sculptures to life. We *finally* got to see a Cirque preshow - two (literal) clowns dressed in sailor uniforms entertaining the audience. The audience interaction is more limited than Kà or Zumanity. They also act as a sort of intermission. One particular scene with the audience was one of the most entertaining parts about the show. Without spoiling the "plot" of O is the amazing dream of the primary male character and the primary female character represents the quest of the dream. I certainly liked the water setting but what impressed me more was the acrobatics (especially the Russian swing) and several people doing the fire display. The curtain call was pretty spectacular and gives you the only photo-op of the show. No1DP also liked that at some point the safety divers come up and are silently acknowledged by the play as being part of the production. As with Kà, all parts of the theater are used. If you look on both sides you'll see a quartet on the left and two singers on the right. Gift shop contains merchandise of "O" as well as more limited quantities of the other Cirque shows. This brings up my number of Cirque shows I've seen to three. Along with Kà I would recommend "O" for a good Cirque show to take a first-timer. No1DP and I differ what to see next - ONE versus LOVE. Just remember two things: purchase your tickets directly from the website and arrive on time to prevent delays in seating.
