  • I'm a huge Cirque du Soleil fan and grew up in Memphis, so I was very excited to see this show. Unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me like their other shows do. In fact, if you loved Love, stay far away from this one. If you like broadway musicals, this might be your thing. Unlike Love, the Elvis music has been reworked - sometimes subtly, sometimes its a massive remix. I really didn't care for a lot of the arrangements, which weren't derivative enough to feel like an homage - more like they changed a few bars so things just sounded off. Rather than creating the energy and emotion of a time period (as Love did), this is most certainly about Elvis's life. There wasn't as much fantasy as there were literal references in every aspect of the show. While the video clips were interesting and very well edited, they were competing with the live performers. And I think there was way too much emphasis on the musicians and singers, as opposed to the dancers and acrobats. And speaking of acrobats, while the trampoline act is the highlight of the show, there is a lot less circus and a lot more singing and dancing than any other Cirque show I've seen. That said, there are some really great dancers in the group. The acrobatic couple at the end was particularly breathtaking. As someone else said, Front Row is not a good vantage point and you wind up sucking down all the smoke effects throughout the show. Also, the stage is above eye-level from the front row, so your neck will be hurting by the end. And to cap it all off, Aria had 2 fire alarms in the 4 hours we were there, one of which completely disrupted the show. Major props to the singer who carried on when her mic cut out and the house lights all came on mid-song. She handled it gracefully! There are so many great Cirque shows in Vegas, I would not recommend spending your money on this one.
