Part of me has put off writing this review.
Partly because I paid so much to see Cirque, and partly because it was late and I was tired.
But truthfully. I did not enjoy O.
Two of our party loved it. But they are also the two who are the most ADHD of the group. They love bouncing from thing to thing.
Me? I enjoy a good story.
O was incredibly hard to follow. It involved at any one point in time at least 8 or so storylines taking place all at the same time, characters thrown together on the same stage. Halfway through I gave up trying to follow and devolved into, "how pretty."
I had cringed when a friend of mine told me her husband had fallen asleep while during O. But sadly I almost met the same fate, having to pinch myself to stay awake.
My favorite part was indeed the clowns. I've seen Totem and loved it, most especially for the clowns, and O was no different.
But all in all I can't recommend O. I'd say if you have the chance to choose a different Cirque show.
