| - Let me loudly and proudly proclaim first and foremost that I love Cirque du Soleil. I've seen KA, Mystere, O and more, but KA stole my heart and my imagination like no other.
When I was a wee bit younger, I dreamed of becoming a contortionist so I could join their ranks (and look super cool turning into a pretzel in full body makeup and a fantastic cat suit).
Every time I've been to Las Vegas, I've seen a different Cirque show and KA was the latest and greatest yet.
From the start of the show I was mesmerized by the fantastic costumes and makeup (and in love with the main male character - the blue haired one), the romantic story line (communicated without an intelligible word ever being said), the ever changing stage and the general awesomeness and total uniqueness that every Cirque show somehow manages to exude.
Captivated from start to finish, when the show ended I was once again ready to limber up, struggle into a spandex leotard and become a performer if they'd have me.
I don't know how Cirque du Soleil does it, but I've never been (nor probably ever will be) disappointed in their shows. They're worth every penny of the admission price and the ones in Vegas even more so since they get to have theaters built exactly to their specifications.
I'd go back and see it all again in a heartbeat, and I can't wait for that day to come.
