I LOVE cirque du Soleil and this is one of their best shows (O is a bit better). If you get there 15 min or fewer before the show you run the risk of being used as a prop. Same is true for those folks in the first couple of rows. The nice thing though is that they do things for the 15 min before -- keeping you entertained. The comic relief it much better than Ka and O. But, it gets a little tiring. Plus, often when there is tumbling there is so much going on you can't see it all. It was really amazing though -- seriously incredible dancers, acrobats, and performers. I can't wait to see it again!
