| - Had booked this show several months in advance before our Vegas trip, and so was so happy that we did! I have seen Cirque du Soleil before, but this show offered the more "sensual/sexual" side of Cirque. As you entered in the lobby, there are several performers in lingerie laying and playing around which was interesting. The theater is the perfect size for this show, and seats seemed to offer a good view no matter where you sat. The show was great. There was a lot of humor, audience participation made it so funny! I don't think anything can prepare the poor people who get selected to go up! All of the acts were very sensual, sexy, beautiful and awe -inspiring. One of the first acts is a giant fish bowl where two topless women are swimming around and flirting with each other, thought this was so cool. In between different acts they had actors, a "couple" go on stage and lighten the mood by performing comedic skits which were hilarious. I was not at all bothered, but surprised at how much nudity this show entailed. Many of the performers were topless and had their booties showing. I did not find the show to be raunchy in any way, but actually quite artistic, entertaining and inspiring. I feel like the "wow" factor here was the sexuality and nudity. While I was impressed and appreciate the hard work of the acrobatics, this show was not of the same caliber of other Cirque shows in terms of acrobatics. The show explored different acts of sexuality such as gay/lesbian, bondage, orgies/threesomes, intimacy, etc. Did not find it to be as awkward watching it as it sounds after reading that. They turned all of these concepts into an artistic performance or comedic act. The host of the show was amazing and I just found everything to be awesome. Tasteful, captivating, humorous, and different..definitely different. My best friend and I had a great girls' night out in Vegas at this show! I was mouth agape or laughing the entire time, so good! Go with an open mind, but really was not anything overly erotic. I DID find myself surprised several times though and wondering the same thing that 'David After Dentist' wonders after the dentist, "Is this real life!?"
The bar upstairs has strong drinks with cute little sexual names. I found myself ordering the "Blue Balls" which was a slushee drink and really good. I was drunk after finishing it because it was huge and kept me happy during the performance. However, I was very annoyed at how slowly our bartender moved (Oh no, here comes my inner NY!) Seven people in line took 20 minutes to get served. I understand the bartender was wonderful, helpful, and friendly. But as the show is starting and people are anxious to get back to their seats with a drink, what are you doing starting a conversation and making jokes? Pour the freakin drink, take the money, and yell NEXT.
Overall, simply amazing. I feel like the regular Cirque shows can be seen anywhere, at any time. This version, Zumanity, is so unique, different, and eye opening. We are still talking about it!
