| - Where to begin? At the end....regretting that it was over.
Laughed, ooooh'd and awww'd, prayed (for them, not me), giggled, boo'd and hissed as they tried to throw the clown out for his antics with the audience. My eyes were darting all directions (not easy, by the way) to catch the strength, control, skill and wonderment of it all.
Our Groupon deal for $238 included two seats to this show, along with a 2-night stay at Treasure Island in a great room. They sat us within 3 rows of the stage, but on the far side, so it was not the most expensive seats, but plenty adequate. These seats were probably valued in the $80/ea. range. We had things happening right in front of our noses.
This is a cute and beautiful show, Mystere. The physical stage is magnificent and so flexible. The lighting, music, and low lying mist creates a wonderful mood. However, I just could not figure out a recognizable story line, other than attributing the 1 1/2 hours to the possible childlike imagination of the big baby and little girl characters.
Regardless, it was delightful, colorful, and one I could highly recommend to see live, on stage, not just an Internet recording. It tickles all the senses. I think I would have a hard time spending $100+ for a seat though. As my buddies on "American Pickers" would say, "...bundle it." And they did, thank you, Groupon. And thank you, my son, for the lovely gift.
So, what is with the giant, inflatable snail with the creepy face at the end????? Ewww.
