I don't see why everyone is hating on Zarkana. I thought the show was thoroughly enjoyable and this is coming from someone who has a tendency to fall asleep at the theater while watching movies (one of which was Batman). I loved the acrobatic act and the clowns between the main acts were really funny.
We sat in section B, but you really don't have to sit close to the stage in order to enjoy the show. The theater is designed well so that you can get a good view pretty much anywhere.
I have to admit that this was my first Cirque du Soleil so I can't compare it to the other shows.
