| - Yelps 365 Review Challenge 2014 - Los Angeles #26 - #365
This review is way overdue!
Me and my friend Ian A. were planning on watching a Cirque show and we narrowed it down to Zarkana, which was the newest show during that time and Ka at MGM GRAND with the amazing story line and effects. We decided to watch Zarkana, I bought the cheapest seats and turned out to be front row, so we assume the pricey seats were at the highest tier of the theater, just like Le Reve at the Wynn.
Formally the failed, "Elvis - Cirque," Zarkana is about the circus ringmaster, "Zark" who searches for his magic to bring his circus back to life. By doing this, he explores different environments and runs into different characters with amazing acrobatic skills.
I tried to follow the story line throughout the show but I just couldn't quite grasp it.
I was amazed at the Circus acts throughout the show, the music kept me on my feet, what bothered me was the story line wasn't quite put well together. The show kind of reminded me of Mystere at Treasure Island because the "story line" just didn't cut it and I didn't know if Zark was even close to finding his magic. Ugh!
So far, my favorite Vegas Cirque shows are:
Ka at MGM Grand
Love at the Mirage
Zumanity at New York New York
and...
Zarkana would be in the bottom next to Mystere and maybe Cris Angel (based on the reviews).
