I've always wanted to watch this show after seeing a special on it on the travel channel. This is my first cirque show, so while I can't compare it to other cirque shows, I really enjoyed it.
The stage/set is truly revolutionary. The special effects and make up was incredible. The martial arts was entertaining. The one thing that I really liked was that all the ushers were dressed up so when you walked into the theater you feel like you're walking into a whole other place.
There are "slow" parts to this show though (you can't really expect all action 100% of the time). The transitions between sets were flawless. If you want to see an awesome production, KA is a must.
