  • From reading other reviews, you'll think this is meh if you like more elaborate shows (with plots or water or whatever), but if you're into high-level acrobatics and feats with somewhat lower production values, this show is for you. O may be a bigger spectacle, but where physical stunts are concerned, Mystere's still got it beat. I've seen this show probably around 10 times (in one instance we saw it around Christmas, and after returning home, felt like seeing it again so much that we returned for New Years). You might wonder why I don't get bored then of the clown routine (which is usually the same depending on how easy the audience is to pick on) or any of the acts. I simply can't. It might be because it's the least theatrical of the Cirques, with the premise being a very broad origins of man kind of theme. And after seeing it so many times, it's almost like we're in on the joke. There's still lots to anticipate, like when a super-F.O.B. walks in and you start smirking because you knows he's easy prey. But it is absolute perfection of the human form. It's mind-bendingly beautiful. How anyone can get bored with the sheer athleticism onstage is beyond me. I live for the five seconds the baby girl gets on the power track and does back flips in place at warp-speed. It's the most purely-acrobatic of the shows (Zarkana being a throwback to this theme). And the music! It's probably my favorite Cirque soundtrack (the fusion-jazz-rockiest of the lot). You know what else I love? The two new acts they added replaced the two slowest acts they previously had. I love when shows or businesses know what to fix. Entertainment in its most concentrated form. I don't understand reviews saying it's slow--it's quicker paced than O or Love (I mean, O is serenely beautiful but there are some portions with unbearably long buildup with a payoff not worth the wait). Mystere's been around for over two decades now--and I hope it continues for much longer. *Updated: in the past few Mystere's I've seen since the death of the Ka performer, it seems they've truncated or cut some acts--I wonder if this is a permanent development?
