This was my first Cirque du Soleil show and I was.... very happy. I was also very happy with my seat because I managed to be in the middle of the last row of the front section, but I'm sure the other seats also had a great view.
Oh how I wish I could move like them. They make it look so easy, but.... I know it takes a lot of work.
The clown-in-the-suit was amusing before the show (picking on people) and in the moments he popped up during the show. The baby character was pretty weird, but still provided a good number of laughs. I loved how some of the action happened above the audience or in different parts of the walkways. I LOVED the music (and I swear there was a song also used in Phantom of the Opera- at least the movie- in there), the colors, the man with the box, the somewhat (imo) sensual performance by the two male acrobats (doing handstands on each other and such), and the red bird-like creature. I loved the seesaw game, but I wasn't as intrigued by the trampoline.
Oh yeah and I was happy to be sipping on my strawberry daiquiri throughout the show, which was kind of nice. The concessions stand at the entrance was the only time I got carded in Vegas. When I saw they sold alcohol (frozen drinks, airplane sized bottles of booze, etc) my first thought was "Way to support our habit!"
To sum up: It was a feast for the eyes and ears (and for other senses for those that got picked for things and/or picked on) and I recommend that people (who are interested in art, dance, acrobats, etc) check out at least one of the Cirque du Soleil shows when they're in Vegas (or when they come to your city)!
