This show was fantastic, loved it!
This was or first time seeing a cirque du Soleil show, and we chose the original, assuming that since it was the one that started it all it had to be good. We weren't dissapointed. The set was pretty impressive, with rotating platforms and a lot of other moving pieces.
The music complements the surreal/magical feel of the show, and is performs live, including the vocals.
The show is well balanced, with instances of comic relief in between the exciting acrobatics.
The staff was friendly and accommodating. The seats we originally selected were in a corner that had an annoying visual obstruction. They wouldn't let us upgrade and pay the difference, but they allowed us to move to better seats free of charge.
The shows duration was satisfying. We went in at 9:30, with the show starting several minutes later, and were out at 11:10.
