We were bedazzled with the first show we saw- Kooza (near our hometown)- and instantly fell in love with Cirque du Soleil. We thought Mystere would have the same height of entertainment value, but was below average. The visuals and music were spectacular! I love the drums, but other than that, the rest of the performance was dull and seemed to dragged on. I was especially bored by the air acrobatics and the see-saw segment. i yawned and nearly dozed off. There were a few mistakes, but hey who said it had to be perfect. No stars were knocked off for that. What bothered me the most, and why I had to take off more stars were the embarrassment of the audience. Okay I completely understand that they want participation from the viewers, and half of it was fine and funny. The other half-- not so great! I felt sorry for people who had popcorn dumped on their head or tossed at, or had champagne (or whatever it was in the bottle) splashed on them. I was extremely glad I sat far back, which by the way was still in good viewing without the neck strain and cheaper tickets too!
