| - I LOVE THIS SHOW! I have seen this show twice and most recently in April '09. I would go back again for a third performance, it was just that cool.
Now, before I started writing this review, I read some of the 1 star reviews and I can see where they are coming from, but I just don't agree. I loved loved loved the giant rotating platform. I just sat there wondering how anything that large could be that maneuverable. I am still in awe. I loved the engineering that must have taken place to make this show possible.
Ok, yes, this show starts with narration of the story, and yes, it's the only Cirque that does this that I have seen (and I've seen MANY). So What? Should all the Cirque's be identical? The costumes were cool. I loved that the show has people shooting faux arrows from columns in the audience. I love the fire blasts that are used throughout the show. You can feel the heat on your face. I love the scene where the sea organisms are in the sand. I love the boat with people in the edges. I love the whole thing.
Are there Cirque du Soleil shows that I don't just love? Yes. I didn't give "O" five stars. So, I'm not a crazed Cirque fan. I truly think this is one of the top 3 Cirque shows. I also have no interest in the Beatles Cirque show, so I do pick and choose and I pick KA!
As usual, I'll say that you shouldn't sit in the front rows. As Americans we feel that the front row is the best. In Cirque, you'll spend your whole time straining your neck to look up and sometimes behind you. Sit at least 15 rows back.
