I was a little disappointed with our O experience. We spent a lot of money buying 8 front row seats and walked out a little less than thrilled. The show opened with the usual cirque characters teasing the audience. It included a huge water pour from the ceiling and completely soaked my brother and his fiance. They were wet an cold for the entire show and weren't offered a towel.
I'm used to the death defying acts of cirque shows but this seemed more like glorified synchronized swimming. Yes, the theater, costumes, and music were beautiful and some of the acrobatics were truly impressive, but it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I've been more impressed with other cirque shows.
I also didn't understand the story. Was there a story? There were certain main characters, but I wasn't sure how it all tied together.
