One part acrobatics, one part synchronized swimming, some comedy thrown into the mix, all of course with fancy lighting and visual effects and you have the performance known as Le Rêve. Hoping to attend at least one show while in Vegas, my friend and I purchased tickets to a recent 9:30 performance. I'd seen a few Cirque du Soleil shows in the past and used those experiences as my baseline expectations of this show.
Unlike previous Cirque (I know they're not run by the same folks) shows I've seen Le Rêve did not seem to have as many acrobatic elements in it as I was expecting. Perhaps it was because the whole performance takes place essentially in water but I figured there'd be a ton of death defying stunts when there really wasn't. The storyline was easy to follow and performers clearly put a ton of effort/dedication into the show.
Despite the great performances by the actors and amazing visual effects I'd say that the most memorable part of the show was when an errant pigeon (released as a part of the show) could not locate the cage it was supposed to go to. Instead the misguided pigeon flew straight into an unsuspecting lady in the audience and who was clearly startled and screamed.
Seating in the arena is set in a circular pattern around the stage so I can't imagine that there'd be a "bad" seat anywhere. The performers also seemed to be mindful of circular design and made sure that you could tell what was going on no matter what your vantage point was. Although I really did enjoy watching Le Rêve and would recommend it to others, I do believe that the price of $120/ticket was a little steep IMHO.
