Before Mystere, I was a Cirque virgin. Damn that was a good fucking show. I shall remember that night forever, Cirque.
Seriously, though, I've since seen a couple of different Cirque du Soleil shows, but this is a very good "entry level" show for Cirque du Soleil. If you enjoy it, which I couldn't fathom you wouldn't, then you'll most certainly be open to seeing some of their more daring shows. If, however, "Mystere" just doesn't do it for you, then don't bother with any of their other shows, cuz you ain't gonna love 'em either.
That oversized baby routine had most of the audience laughing on the floor peeing their pants. We had some guy who'd clearly smoked one too many bowls about five rows behind us... I swear we all thought he was gonna die from laughing so hard. He went past laughing and just started whimpering. So we all just started laughing at him too.
