  • I can see the points being made in the 1 star reviews... but I guess knowing what it was going in helps set the right expectations for what this show is. I barely consider this a cirque show and maybe that's the major failing here - branding it cirque. Yes it's a bit more like a burlesque show and looked at it from that aspect is a superdoopercrazyamzingassed burlesque show erasing all memories of others I've seen in my past. The reason it's superdoopercrazyamzingassed is because of the cirque infusion... but to compare it based on that mere infusion to a full show it will be a bit weak. Your clowns are women in fat suits that walk the line of inappropriate for fat people or for strangers in our average society. The host is a drag queen that likes to rag on gender stereo types. There are mainstream, slight risque and homosexual themes. It's hilarious, it's beautiful, it's sex positive, it celebrates diversity and feels like a celebration of sexual freedom to me. Much of the show is pushing people just beyond comfortable (or comfortable in regular society). Nothing was shocking to my eyes but I know there were people who saw things that pushed them way past their personal areas of comfort. I thought it was sexy but not shocking and I am glad I saw it in a couple. This doesn't seem like a show to go to with friends or as a single really. I really like the lack of fake breasts in this show... my opinion would be very different if the performers were cosmetic surgery regulars and not the very athletic and naturally beautiful performers you'd find in a cirque show. For seats, sit in the center. Most cirque shows are good at using a round stage but this one is not. It beats me why the exact middle of the room is an aisle all things considered because those were the best seats. If you sit in the middle, up close or on a duo sofa thing you will end up in the show. I thought the audience members in the show were hilarious but I'm really glad I didn't get pulled in there. I knew about this in advance and picked row F on the aisle in the center and I was still sweating as audience members were being picked out from my row just over the stairs. You can decline but they don't give up easily.... so if you're really shy you might want to avoid the aisles and stay at least 10 rows back. You might also want to do the balcony to be completely "safe". My recommendation for this show is highly conditional. I'm glad I saw it, wouldn't see it a second time and I don't think it's for everyone. I wouldn't use this to judge cirque if it's your first show and I wouldn't compare it to others if you seen them. If you like what people ACTUALLY describe it as, set the cirque brand aside and see it from that place.
