I was so excited to see the new Cirque in town. I've already heard of many other peoples' reviews. So here's mine.
When I think about Cirque du Soleil, I think about of course the circus! Imaginative, talented, strong, athletic, beautiful (etc., etc.,) entertainment!
Viva Elvis has most of what has been mentioned. I think I wanted more stunts, which I was use to.
It is a tribute to Elvis of course. Yes, I do agree you its a lot about Elvis and you should be some sort of fan. They talk about a certain portion of his life, then theres some singing/dancing, then a stunt portion.
I enjoyed it because I liked watching Elvis when I was kid with the parentals. He was dead before I was born, but I couldn't help watching his shows and remembering how handsome he was. In this show they had so many clips of him and remembered how much I liked him when I was a little girl.
So It was an "okay" cirque show. I did enjoy it. There's too many great things about Elvis to squash it in this show.
