| - Let me start off by saying this was one of the worst Cirque du Soleil shows I have seen, even the ones that set up tent in cities around the nation are better.
So we went to Aria to have dinner, and on the way there we decided to attend the new Zarkana show. We went up the elevator and got in line to buy tickets. After about 10 minutes we noticed we were in the "will-call" line and hopped on over to the "Buy tickets" line. Bad mistake, the buying ticket line was way slower. We ended up staying another 15-20 minutes and our line did not move at all, and we gave up and went to dinner.
After dinner we went back to attempt at getting tickets again. The line had only 3 people and STILL took 10 minutes before we gave up again. Why does it take so long to sell a ticket to someone??
As we were walking away, a couple that had comp'd tickets were unable to get in due to the fact they had a little child with them and gave the passes to me and my partner. We were a party of 4, but the others decided it was too much to pass up on 2 free tickets so we took them up on the offer. What's better then free Cirque du Soleil tickets?? So one thinks.
We got in a few minutes after the show started and had some decent seats. About 30 minutes in I was lost as to what was happening. It seemed as if the production wasn't well written. Understandable that I was a few minutes late.. but I read a few other reviews and they stated the same thing.
The acts were boring, nothing extraordinary and this show did not set it apart from any other Cirque du Soleil show. The best and funniest parts were the comedians that did their skits mid scene. I mean, when a shows best attribute is the intermission clown acts, that should say something.
So to boil it down, don't waste your money. Go see the Beatles show or Mystere/Ka. My number one show is still the Beatles.
All in all, horrible ticket sale customer service/wait and horribly written show. This show will fizzle out in a year or 2 (hopefully).
