| - Freaking hilarious.
Don't take your mom, or your kid (even over 18), or anyone conservative.
The comedy was so over-the-top gratuitous, but I thought it was extremely funny and shocking. The lady next to me looked uncomfortable and unimpressed, so everyone has their own opinion. Some reviewers have faulted the Penny character, but she was a crack-up and not someone I will soon forget. The boyfriend and I have been quoting her randomly for days.
I didn't love the singing fairy, or the strip-teases, but the comedy and acrobatics made up for all of that.
I'm a huge fan of Cirque. I've seen almost every show since their very first (in the late 80's/early 90's?), but I have to admit that although their acrobatics are stunning, I've fallen asleep on a couple occasions (mostly due to food coma, etc., but still). There was no chance of me falling asleep in this production, and it was a good time all around.
