My very first Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas. And what a way to start off a new love affair.
As usual, I had no idea what to expect entering the theater for Mystere, but that's par for the course. Each show is so completely different and unique, yet all are completely awe-inspiring.
I was in love with the costumes and makeup and marveled at the awesome mastery, strength and grace of all the performers. Although the story line was a little hard to follow (especially since no known language is used), the plot line translated pretty well and each act was more awe-inspiring than the last.
I left the theater on Cloud 9 with my jaw on the floor, and a renewed desire to run away and join Cirque du Soleil as a contortionist. Words can't really do justice to the visual mastery these shows present, and I cannot recommend it strongly enough to anyone to go and see.
Twice more I've been back to Vegas since that initial visit, and each time I saw another Cirque show. And I can't wait to go back again and see another.
