It was.......pretty. No really, it was a nice show. Very artistic as people have mentioned. I really didnt see much plot either in many parts of the performances. The talent, colors, lights and costumes are beautiful and fun to watch just like the other cirque shows and this is very similar to them.
So my conclusion opinion, it is not a total waste of money but not near as good as the others I have seen such as O and Zumanity.
And lastly, try not to drink too much before getting stuck in the middle of the aisle watching water hoses and spouts for the entire show praying your bladder can hold on just a little longer ;-)
