| - How people are rating this show at 4 and 5 stars is totally beyond me! Here is the real deal since I have a feeling that some of the reviews on here are bogus. Sorry that I didn't know about the revised ending before spending the money, I know better now.
First, I've been to 5 Cirque shows 2 this weekend in Vegas (O and KA) sadly I saw O before KA and my expectations were high but the bubble burst quickly with the start of the show.
Let's start with sound, they have a sound system worthy of a Paul McCartney concert and at times they actually use it but from the start it was obvious the main players either weren't miked or they didn't feel that they need to be in the PA at a respectable level because they really weren't. At other times in the show I was able to hear people eating popcorn several rows behind me when the music should have been more prominent, damn they even have speakers in the seats how about using them!!! Oddly later in the same song it was thunderous.
Next, the show gave the impression of a fire show from the pre-show warm-ups that never played into the performance at all which I found to be very odd. But what really had me scratching my head and wondering why I just spent 600 dollars for my 4 person family was watching 'finger puppets' for 5 minutes, yes 'finger puppets' and I'm not one to spoil the show but seriously Cirque that's the best you could do and incorporate into a top billed Vegas show! WTF guys!!!
Another thing that I found to be very annoying is that most Cirque shows feature acts with some intermissions, this show is all the intermission skits and some performances tossed in, really backwards and kind of annoying when you pay big bucks for big acts not baton twirling!
What I came to see was the big fight at the end on the moving platform, that sequence is still in the previews that I saw all over town on DVD loops yet when the big scene came into play I was treated to a video, an F'in video not even in HD video of a previous performance but a really crappy low rez version, then suddenly fireworks and it's over. Everyone in the house had the same reaction, this is it, it's over, aside from 8 guys that stood up and yelled and clapped like they were part of a previous cast, nobody was really even thinking it was over! This show was very anti-climatic to say the least!
Save your $$$ or watch O, I can vouch for that one!
