This was my first Cirque show. I stayed at TI and got a message on the room phone for 2-for-1 tickets. I'm sure there are deals like this all the time, but I'm a sucker.
I didn't really know what to expect. All I knew about Cirque shows is that they are weird and feature acrobatics. Well, that's exactly what it was... and I loved it!
I should say that while I knew it would be weird and acrobatic-y, I had no idea to what extent. I've seen nothing like it before, and couldn't have imagined it either. The producer must be on some hardcore drugs.
I sat towards the front-middle of the center section in the back half (203) about a row or two behind the mixing booth. I think this is the best area to view the show, as the performers use a lot of the front half of the entire auditorium at various points throughout the show. So, if you sat in the front half, you would have to do some turning around and looking over your head.
There were a lot of ups and downs throughout. Sometimes there would be up to 50 or more performers on stage and other times there would be just one. There was a lot of variety, too. It wasn't all acrobatics (which was amazing), but there was also some elements of comedy and audience interaction, which kept you trying to guess what was going to happen. Or... what is exactly happening?
I would definitely recommend this to others and am looking forward to seeing another Cirque show!
