| - I was fortunate -- or unfortunate, depending on how one looks at it -- to attend Jabbawockeez at Monte Carlo, in addition to this new iteration at Luxor. The old show, at Monte Carlo, was entirely too repetitive and made me never want to see them again. Fortunately, there was a friend of mine who wanted to go to this Prism version or whatever it is called so Jabbawockeez was granted reprieve for their past crimes (of bad entertainment).
Firstoff: wear hearing protection. If you do not wear hearing protection, you deserve the permanent hearing loss you are going to suffer. If you don't own hearing protection, and go to shows, you really need to buy some. Tinnitus is the enemy.
Secondly, outside drinks are permitted but they must be in cups. If you are sporting a bottle, ask for a cup from the bar for the show (it is located outside doors).
The stage at their theatre at Luxor is about 35% the size of the one they had at Monte Carlo. The room: the same. Much smaller. (Makes for louder, by the way. Much louder.)
Continuing the needless comparisons of the old show and this new one: the old one dragged on and made it seem endless. It was also plagued with bad pacing. This new one -- that you will go to (unless you have a time machine in your garage) -- just flies by. You walk in; you watch them dance while following along with the storyline; you dance for thirty-to-forty five seconds; and, just like that the show seems like it is over.
Time seems to just fly by because there is so much energy among the performers and the story is well done. I would have never said this before, but I would go to Jabbawockeez again.
