| - Mystère was the first of the Cirque du Soleil's in Vegas, and appropriately the first Vegas show I ever saw. First time was late 90's, and it was one of those magical nights back when Vegas still held magic for me. I'm old and jaded now. The performance was spectacular, but what really piqued my chi was the music. Hauntingly eloquent, and quite mystèrious!! Felt compelled to buy the CD after the curtains went down. Still listen to this very day.
Years later took my wife to see it. Somehow we scored 6th row seats. Not bad. The storyline is a bit vague, if there is one. But the acrobatics are just amazing. The big baby keeps things light-hearted and draws the audience into the show. Some of the other Cirque shows have shown the maturation of the franchise, and some, depending on personal taste of course, would be considered more elaborate, more beautiful, or just better. Still, Mystère will always hold a place in my memories, as well as a spot in Vegas history, bringing in a new era of entertainment. Always a crowd pleaser, and unless you're culturally inept, you should have an enjoyable experience. Mystère: no boobies, but still a damn good show!!
