| - Zumaity is located inside New York! New York! in its own auditorium done up all velvety to look like an old burlesque. This was my third Cirque Du Soleil show, and I went into it not really knowing what to expect, and from the time you walk into the auditorium, still had no clue what I was in for.
The acrobatics where nice, sure they where not as stunning as some of the other Cirque shows, but that was made up just in the sheer enjoyability of the show. What Zumanity lacks in technicality, and don't let the term 'lack' dissuade you as it is still spectacular, it makes up in intimacy and entertainment. From the moment you walk in they have entertainers talking to the audience. I didnt go into Zumanity thinking id be giving a full figured buxom woman a massage as she fed me a strawberry, but hey, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...unless you decide to put it on yelp.
When the acrobats are not performing, the show revolves around audience interaction. If you do not want to be interacted with, DO NOT SIT IN THE FRONT ROW! You may want to avoid the aisles as well.
The music is all written for the show and performed live, and I enjoyed it as well.
Zumanity does have adult themes, but this is Las Vegas. In my opinion it has all been tasteful executed and it is a great show. I would recommend it to couples. The only catch being you have to go into it with an open mind!
