| - This was my second Cirque Du Soleil show and kind of already had an idea of how I expected it to be. Let me tell you, it was not how I expected.
This show had a lot more dancing, choreography and dramatic theatrics than I expected. From the very beginning, the show was intense in terms of the dancing and music. There are definitely less acrobatics than O, and since this show has a storyline, it centers around the story/dramatics more than flips and gymnastics stunts. It's not to say that there are none, but less frequent and less intense aerobic stunts than O.
This story is about love, fear, good, bad, and inner conflict. There were some acts that were very clear in their theme, and some that were not. Overall, the story was a little hard to follow but you get the gist of it at the end. I think the creators just wanted to include as many relevant themes as possible in a 1.5 hour show.
I really enjoyed the magic and live doves used in this show. So unexpected and mind blowing!
The seating in this theater is arranged in a circle with the stage in the center, so really any seat you get will be a good seat. Be aware though, that the first couple of rows in the front will get splashed slightly when the performers get lifted into the air and/or flip their wet hair around.
All in all, I liked this show but I don't think it's 'the best' Cirque Du Soleil show in Vegas.
