. . "After seeing Corteo in San Jose, I wasn't super enthused with the Cirque shows in general. But having heard good things about O, I was willing to give it a try. We didn't manage to get good seats, and settled on \"partially obstructed\" discounted seats. But the \"obstruction\" was merely a hand rail, and quite worth the discount that we got.\n\nThis show blew me away. The visuals were spectacular, and the stage design was cool. I love architecture and design, and I considered stopping out of school to become a Cirque stage designer briefly. Then I realized I know nothing about engineering and put the thought aside. But really, even if you don't like Cirque shows, give this one a shot. Dancing, swimming, spiraling, sinking... amazing!"^^ . "1"^^ . "2008-12-02T00:00:00"^^ . . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
