  • The No1DP was in Vegas earlier this year and saw this Cirque production along with "O". He liked both but he loved Ka so much that the next time we were in Vegas he'd take me here. True to his word, this was one of his surprises. Showtimes Tues-Saturday in the MGM Grand. It's a big show floor but coming from the main entrance (where all the cars stop for drop-offs and valet service) it was only a 5 minute walk to the theater entrance. The area in front of the theater has props that resemble the huts to the sides as you go inside. No1DP picked up his tickets at Will Call. Ticket prices are level with O and Beatles LOVE, which translates to "pretty damn expensive". There's different tiers with different prices for each tier. No1DP and I sat 8 rows from the front as this is actually in the same eye-level as the front of the stage. The very first rows are actually cheaper because the stage is slightly above eye level for those rows. According to the pricing guide where we sat was at least $150/person. Due to the horrendous taxi situation we got there around 9 minutes late so we missed the pre-show performance AND the opportunity to take photos with the set pieces. I also got to miss the best part of the show: the exhibition of the different martial arts that are involved with the story. No1DP mentions had we gotten there too late we wouldn't be allowed to be seated but the ushers were kind enough to seat us after the introduction sequence. What sets Ka from the other Cirque shows is that it tells an original story. The acrobatics and theatrics enhance the story, not the other way around. The story is easy to get even with no spoken dialogue. Ka goes for a fast 90 minutes with no intermission. All parts of the stage are used; No1DP pointed out action happening in the sides I would have missed if I kept my eyes to the center. The only disappointing part about the performance is the climax. One part of the production used to be live but a death occurred and as a result this scene is now projected into the wall. I was quite confused when I saw this and had to research after the fact to know what this was. The shop sold all sorts of memorabilia related to Ka and the other Cirque shows. Unlike a lot of memorabilia around Vegas the items inside the store look quite nice, especially the well-designed shirts. No1DP purchased the program guide which clarified a lot about the story. This brings my number of Cirque shows seen in Vegas to two. I'd definitely recommend this production to other people, especially if they have never seen a Cirque production before.
