| - Of all the cirque shows, this was my least favorite. Not saying it was bad, but not exactly what I have come to expect from cirque shows.
When I think of cirque shows, I think of creative acrobatic acts. Performers flying through the air, or performing difficult maneuvers. I also picture an elaborate set (stage).
Zumanity did have some acrobatics, though it wasn't extensive like in other cirque shows I have seen. I didn't do my homework on this show, so I didn't realize it was a show sexual in nature with nudity (mostly topless women).
Personally, I wasn't bothered by the sexual nature of the show or nudity, but be warned, it is quite out there so you definitely have to be open minded. I wouldn't recommend seeing this show with your family, take a date or partner instead.
What I did like was the wide spectrum of performers. There was representation of many colors. The performances were diverse, touching on many different areas. The show was also LGBTQ friendly.
There were no bad seats on the main floor where we sat. Be warned that the closer you get to the stage, the more likely you are to be called out during the performance. The show had quite a bit of audience participation. This started at the pre show and continued on to the end. This included people being invited up on stage a number of different times.
Though this was not what I expected it was still enjoyable.
