| - As expected from Cirque, the acrobats were amazing. I could not get enough of the strength and flexibility and beautiful costumes. I would have given 5 stars for the incredible performance and wonderful music - but, I just could not get with the basic story line. I can never follow the Cirque storylines, and know that isn't really the point of the show - but this one had a truly obnoxious gentleman who started out the show by annoying guests and generally being a pain. I suppose some people find this funny, I was just thinking that if he had come near me, I might have had to punch him. Then, there is an obese man in the show who plays a creepy baby. In general, I am not a fan of adults in diapers - and all I could think about was - wow, these Cirque acrobats much train constantly, watch what they eat, and just really be disciplined about their art. And then, there is this huge fat guy who is part of the cast? What does he do all day when they're training? Is it weird for him to be in the same cast as these people? Anyway, it was all quite distracting and very uncomfortable. But, I'm sure if I read through all these reviews there would be people who thought this guy was genius, so to each his own. But, I do recommend the show for the acrobats. And the huge snail, which some people might have also found creepy. And I definitely recommend getting tickets at the Half-Price Tix box office - not a bad seat in the house and you'll save 20-40% day of. PAPA!!!!!!!!
