| - I've watched 7 cirque shows, 2 of which twice. This is by far the most disappointing. I know for live shows, each performance could be different, but Zarkana, as cool as the name sounds, has very poor performance. The acrobatic is off-sync throughout the show, so I believe it is not by accident. As this show is relatively new, they need more training still. Music is horrible too compared to other cirque shows. But the worst of all is the humor. Not only the show has no story, the actors who play the funny parts when other performers are busy changing clothes and putting on make up tell jokes that make me asleep. And none of the jokes tie in to the show, it is so bad that you can tell they deliberately set up those parts to buy time for production to change sets. As a big cirque fan, I have to say this show is not worth the money they charge. The good thing is, there're many promotions from Aria and Cirque du Soleil, so don't be a fool and purchase a ticket at retail price. If you desire to watch all the shows, don't start with O, because you'll be disappointed as you won't be able to find any other cirque production that even comes close to it. Iris in Los Angeles was fantastic, but it was a shame that they didn't do well at box office and Cirque lost $80 million on production alone when the show only lasted a little over a year.
