I'm giving this show 4 stars simply for the sheer amount of times I said "oh wow!" during the show. Um, Sand Art?? That was amazing!! The stage was amazing with tricks and effects that I haven't seen before. I took my family to this show and everyone had a great time. I loved the more traditional circus acts- tight rope walking, juggling, etc. All they were missing were some animals. Very entertaining.
During the performance there were a couple mistakes and some of the acrobats fell, but that just leads me to believe that whatever they were doing was extremely difficult and they can't be perfect all the time.
For locals: if you call the box office you can get pretty good deals. We got amazing seats- second row back from the front of the balcony for only $54/seat. Can't complain about that!
I've seen a lot of the Cirque shows and I would definitely recommend this one.
