I've heard mixed reviews about the show but we still got tickets (discounted) to see what Zarkana was all about. I was a little worried that it was 1 hour and 40 minutes long but honestly, the show went by so fast. Some parts were good others were a little boring, but I have no real complaints. We sat on the 2nd mezzanine and saw everything just fine. The stage was beautifully set up. Being Radio City, of course things will be expensive, a bottle of water was $5 and cocktails were $14 (but this is NYC, this is normal). I didn't really know there was a love story involved in the show until the very end and i didn't even know that Zark's love was the freaky looking carnival baby; so the plot wasn't very clear to us or those around us. I thought the carnival baby was a little too much for kids but this isn't your normal circus.
