le reve has the same director as the four cirque du soleil shows currently on the strip. his name is dragone and based on name alone, you know the motherfucker is nuts. he apparently had a parting of ways with the company (scandal! i love artistic differences!) and so steve wynn hired him to do a show at the new wynn resort. they built a theater in the hotel specifically for this show based on dragone's instructions. it is spectacular. it's in the round so there are no bad seats. i really can't say enough good about this space other than that you have to see it, it blew my mind. beautiful. the show itself is very similar to other cirque du soleil shows but with more of a plot. it really worked for me but others thought it didn't have enough insane acrobatics. i don't know, i thought it was much more lyrical and beautiful than the other cirque shows i've seen and i loved the water element. plus, they're still climing walls and doing high dives and balancing on each other and all that unnatural shit the audience loves.
