| - There's a reason why tickets to Le Rêve are hard to come by. It's a smaller, more intimate production with high flying, deep diving, song and dance routines that take you on a whimsical journey through the protagonist's dream.
The show was sold out when we wanted to see it but through our wonderful concierge at The Cosmopolitan, we were able to secure tickets. Good ones too. The show is similar to other Cirque du Soleil numbers although unlike Cirque productions, English is the predominant language here. Le Rêve does a magnificent job at combining high wires, divers, synchronized swimmers, dancers, and more into a seamless production. Some of the stunts are just breathtaking. One in particular will literally stop your heartbeat for a second or two. I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. It's just magnificent to see almost the entire cast descending down into the auditorium like cherubs flying from the heavens. It's gorgeous. For me though, the high points at Le Rêve were the ingenious use of fabric.
If there's a knock on the show then I would admit that the narrative is a little disjointed but since it takes place in a dreamscape, conjoined narratives don't matter as much do they? Still for a great show that turns aquatic sports into performance art, Le Rêve is a great show to watch in Vegas.
