what a great freakin show to pick for our first cirque du soleil experience! i don't think any other cirque could match up to the caliber of this monstrosity.
ok ok...i'll be honest...i started nodding off towards the middle of the show...but that was only cause no one sleeps in vegas! haha...until i heard someone fall from the ceiling into the water. that was a SUPER wake up call! it couldn't have been any more perfect! oh, and here's another confession...keep in mind, i'm not the artsy type...but i had no clue what the heck the show was about. even with that major factor, i thought it was amazing!
the show is mostly performed over or within the water. swimmers, dancers, acrobats, divers, flips, props, weird...and i mean very weird positions that no human body should ever be allowed to be in...i got the chills at one point...and if you've seen the show, you should know exactly which part i'm talking about. but the one thing about the show that got me the most...was the singing. oh my goodness...what talent!!! their voices are beautiful...the live band behind them put a wonderful touch on the music...and i loved how the band also made all the sound effects live for every show. the people that worked behind the curtains...WOW...their timing was impecable.
next stop: Ka
but can it really meet the high standards that O has put on the map for cirque du soleil? we'll have to see...
