| - Maybe it's just me, but this was my second Cirque show and I was not impressed at all, again. I actually fell asleep a couple times, what a waste of $100! The day before, we called to get "discounted" tickets to Zarkana for $98/person. We then got upgraded to seats toward in the right middle section towards the back. It was an "upgrade" since the auditorium didn't sell all the seats, therefore we sat a few rows closer. Still, $98 (already discounted) is pretty pricey for back middle seats.
The set and costumes were beautiful and lovely, but as the show progressed, I dozed off. The story line was hard to follow, the stunts all seemed like I've seen it before (probably from China, for free), and I seriously just wanted the show to end. My bf said he thoroughly enjoyed it but it wasn't worth the $100 ticket for him. Thus, I recommend trying to get discount tickets the day of. My expected value for this show is probably $40. I barely remember this show now a couple months later, but I remember there was a mishap that happened. That woke me up.
Pretty good singing and stunts with costumes/set that will glorify the show a bit. So maybe I'm just not into Cirque shows since both times failed to amuse me. At the end of the show I was very upset and wanted my money back. Sigh.
