| - WTH were they thinking making a show like this? What a horrible tribute to Elvis Presley, one of my all time favorite artists. I grew up listening to Elvis because my mom is a big fan of his music so I was extremely excited to get a hold of some tickets with such good seats. Boy, was I in for a surprise. I don't really want to go into detail without giving it away for those who still want to see it, but don't expect too much acrobatics and don't count on much of a WOW factor either. This show lacks any depth and I really felt like they took some things from other cirque shows, manipulated it a bit, and tried to tie in a little historical/biographical/musical testament to Elvis. It was a complete fail and some of the acts made me think, "WTF is going on?!?! Why is this bit in here??!? How is this even relevant?!?? When is this shit going to end!!!?? F-ing ridiculous!!!". Not surprisingly, I fell asleep periodically throughout the show. I was ready to leave before it ended and felt like it was a waste of my life- how sad is that?!?!
Whatever, I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone, Elvis fan or not, and I would suggest you save your money and go see another show. Fortunately for me I didn't pay for my tickets!!! I would've been damn regretful if I had though. On a brighter tip: the auditorium is really big and nice. You can tell they invested a lot of money in this. Costumes were colorful and somewhat interesting to see. Lastly, they did play some of his classics that I loved listening to.
Cirque, I hope you came on yelp and really take these reviews to heart.
and....
Elvis, I apologize on behalf of Cirque for portraying you in such an atrocious fashion; what a slap in the face!!! May you rest in peace!!!
