This was my first Cirque show. Tickets are sold in 4 tiers. The first 2 (most expensive) tiers were sold out so we went with the 3rd tier ($93/each) which scared me a bit because based on the map, they looked to be pretty far back. Not so! With this theater, there pretty much isn't a bad seat in the house. And actually, because a lot of the performance was done from above, I wouldn't have liked sitting in the lower (more expensive) sections.
If there was a storyline, I didn't quite get it and I didn't love the music, but to make up for it were the times of laughter and the times of pure and utter amazement. I have no other Cirque experience to compare to, but these performers are so incredibly (and I mean incredibly) talented.
Bravo!
