I've seen all Cirque shows in Vegas so I didn't have high expectations going in to Panda! While most of the acrobat moves are nothing new, the idea of incorporating animated background and walls is ingenious! The crisp, clear, moving images are visually stunning. The costumes were dazzling and colorful. What a great set design!
Bonus points are given for interactive intermissions by way of throwing giant inflatable panda balls for the audience to play while the set is changed. Not to mention there are goodies being thrown towards viewers during the show. My sister ended up with two free souvenirs, making this a very memorable trip for her.
I'm also extremely impressed at how the performers are able to perform difficult stunts while wearing a panda suit! It's cute yet dangerous. Dangerously cute? All in all this is a big production worth seeing. The story was easy to follow which makes it fun for little kids but it's also worthwhile for the big kids as well.
