I love Elvis and I love Cirque du Soleil. I didn't love the Viva Elvis show.
Pros
1. Video clips. It was nice to be reminded of Elvis' accomplishments. I especially enjoyed the "kissing" montage.
2. The military segment.
3. The ballet dancers en pointe. Having danced balled for 14 years, I'm a sucker for any ballet dancing.
4. The contemporary duo dance scene. Think So You Think You Can Dance, with way too many (read: fake feeling) longing embraces and desperate "push-aways."
5 Jail House segment.
Cons
1. Not enough acrobatics
2. Unentertaining "host" character
3. Too many repetitive dance steps and acrobatic tricks. Seemed like they were trying to drag out the scenes. I kept thinking, "didn't they just do that same dance segment?"
4. Random superhero trampoline segment that didn't really feel like Elvis. I understand he liked comics, but it still felt out of place.
When we left the theater, I asked my husband, what did you think? He replied with, "we paid the right price." (thanks to Misty Y.!!) I can honestly say I will not recommend this show to my out of town friends or family who are coming to Vegas. Sorry to say that since I love Elvis and I love Cirque du Soleil.
