| - Omg, maybe it's because it was my first Cirque show (I've been wanting to go since I was like 8), but it was sooooooooooooooooo good! I couldn't stop smiling the entire show long! The cast is so talented! Each act was an amazing display of human ability and I was thoroughly entertained. I do agree that there is no obvious storyline, but that's okay by me. It is "Mystere," a mystery. You take what you will from it. I felt like it was more about the emotions evoked rather than a solid story of sorts. It touches on the innocence of children, the celebration of life as well as the inevitability of tragedy. All in all, this performance is about art; as there are no single correct interpretations of paintings, concertos, etc. there is no single correct interpretation of Mystere. Don't think too much into it and just enjoy it already! :-P
Oh, last note: the theater was a lot smaller than expected, so you don't necessarily have to shell out the extra bucks to sit up close, unless you want to interact with the cast. Our seats were dead center in Section 2 (FF/11&12) but I actually would have preferred to sit maybe one or two rows back. Also, they have a 35% off student discount all day every day, so don't forget your Student Body I.D.'s!
