This was one of my favorite Cirque du Soleil shows so far. This show has so much going on during the different stage performances. There was a ton of variation. A lot of the cast was in different costumes all on the stage at the same time performing very different acts. I felt like I could see this performance over and over and never take it all in. The costumes, the make-up, the contortionists, the stage. It was all so amazing.
The show is called "O" and apparently this means water in French. The stage is constantly changing but under all of the various layers is a giant pool of water! The performance incorporates this with various swimming acts as well as an amazing diving session with swings that launch the performers into the air performing unbelievable diving tricks. This was my favorite part of the show. Sometimes the stage just had a very narrow window for performers to make it into the pool. It added a lot of thrill to the show.
I really enjoyed the scenes with the clowns. They were so funny and it was great how they got the crowd involved in some of the acts. It was hard to tell if some of the people were really just grabbed from the crowd or if they were a part of the show.
The music was amazing. I loved the variety of the sets. The singing was great. The african style music was mind blowing.
This is a great show! I recommend spending the money and getting close seats for this one. You won't be disappointed.
