| - The gf thought it was more like 3.5 but this stage is much more low budget than the other stages, especially O and Ka. But I liked it way better than Love.
They use a screen in the background a lot, and makes the stage look like it has infinity depth, and makes it look like there's additional performers in the back, but it's really just a screen.
I liked that they had the live singer and musicians. That made it different than the other shows. And the clowns actually made us laugh. All the other Cirque shows the clowns were really annoying and not funny. I know they are just buying time so they can change the set.
The main thing I liked about this show is that it is mainly an acrobatic show, unlike Love which is more just dancing. They use a lot of safety wires, nets and pads now, but I understand since a performer died while on stage at Ka not too long ago. Speaking of, during the double wheel set, one of the performers tripped on his jumprope while doing a trick. I thought for sure he was going to fall and die! Thankfully he recovered immediately, but that was scary for sure.
Overall, the show was entertaining. So far I've seen four Cirque shows and this is the order I liked them:
Ka
O
Zarkana
and Love is dead last.
