This was my first Cirque show and boy was it worth it! Yes, tickets are expensive (about $100). No, you probably wouldn't want to go every weekend. But, totally worth it once!
Make sure you arrive early! There is entertainment for about half an hour before the show. An old man in a suit would come out into the audience and mess with different people in the audience. Take them on stage, dump popcorn on them, lead them to the wrong seats. The audience had a great time watching.
Slightly annoying was the baby noises on the PA that happened for the entire 30 minutes before the show. We figured out that the theme of the show is that the whole show is supposedly a baby's dream??????? The girl that played the baby was very cute, but I am not sure the story line really added to the show.
I LOVED the acrobatics!!! I loved the trapeze artists. There were 4 women and 2 men that were attached to bungees to the ceiling and they would alternate between bouncing on their bungees and doing trapeze tricks. It was really crazy!
Favorite quote of the show. My wife: "So, who thinks up this sh*t????" Me: "Crazy, French people."
