| - I have seen all the Cirque shows in Vegas and several of the traveling versions. O suffers from over-expectations I think. I expected it to surpass all the others, but it was just on par with them I felt. It wasn't a bad show, just wasn't incredible. Love and Mystere I feel are incredible....O and Ka are very good, just not great.
The O theatre is gorgeous and the highlight of the night may just be the giant red curtain disappearing into the back of the stage revealing the beautiful water beneath at the start of the show.
Mystere is filled with incredible acrobatics, Ka is a stunning engineering feat and almost feels like a movie, Love is a massive party that exhilirates the senses, and O I feel is like a ballet. It's beautiful in design and musical performance, but won't blow you away with any acrobatics, the stage movements are ok, and the energy is nowhere near as high as Love.
If you love the grace and refined sophistication of a ballet, you will love O. If you want something to get you out of your seat or have you talking about it for the rest of the night, I would pass. One last comment...if you eat a heavy meal before the show, you will struggle to stay awake I think at points. At least our group did. I would recommend seeing the show before dinner.
