| - For anyone who's not familiar with Jabbawockeez, they are the first season winners of America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC).
The name "Jabbawockeez" was originally inspired from the Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" in his novel "Through the Looking-Glass". I have never watched their performances on MTV, but I did briefly see their appearance during the 2009 NBA All-Star game with Shaquille O'Neal.
Ticket was pretty cheap - I was able to get a section 101, Row A, Seat 1 for $50 (tax and other fees included). I didn't really like the corner seat due to its awkward viewing angle, but later the usher kindly asked us to move (2 seats closer) to the center stage.
What are some of the benefits of sitting the 1st row? Well, I was able to give TWO high-five with the crew! In addition, please do expect dry ice to hover around the 1st row for few minutes during few occasions of the show and dry ice could potential block a portion of stage view.
Expect 40% humorous skit + 40% dancing + 20% audience participation + special laser effect. There were some moments I was like "wow that was a pretty sick dance move", but I did not necessary enjoy all of the humorous skits (heck, I almost fell asleep during few parts of the show).
Overall, I thought the show was decent (better than the Blue Man Group) - but not amazing (like Absinthe or Cirque du Soleil O). If you are not a hip hop dancing fan, I think there are better shows out there in Vegas. A solid 3.5-star, bonus point for moving toward to center stage and $50 1st row ticket.
