I just got back from Las Vegas and I saw ZUMANITY. It was very sexy and hottttt!

I will be seeing Corteo this summer.

I've also seen:
Alegria
Quidam
Varekai
"O"

There is supposed to be a new one in Summer 2008, that is a joint venture between Cirque du Soleil, and Criss Angell, Mind Freak at the LUXOR!!

I have seen several taped shows, but live performances:

Mystere (wonderful and totally worth the money)
La Nouba

I hope I am fortunate to see many more in my life.

LOVE is amazing!! The new digital music is amazing and they do a great job of interpreting the songs and even do the coolest part where 4 men end up in this pose: http://yorkregion.blogs.com/ecofreak/beatles.jpg.

It was fantastic!! :)

I'm going to see La Nouba for my birthday in May!

I'm going to be in Montreal next month and I am thinking of checking out their new production: OVO

It looks like it's about bugs and the ecosystem.

We saw Saltimbanco last November and absolutely loved it!

To add to my list since I've seen more.

1. O - Still my favorite!
2. Drallion
3. Varekai
4. Quidam
5. Zumanity
6. Alegria
7. Mystere
8. KA

I'm waiting for tickets to go on sale for the latest show, KOOZA. I love their shows and am still mad that I didn't get to see Saltimbanco.

Since we're going to Disney World soon, we're planning on seeing La Noubawhile we're there.

CutiePie2000 08-26-2009 06:06 PM

My tally so far:
Allegria
Quidam
Varekai
"O"
Corteo
Zumanity
OVO

I'm hoping to catch Mystere or Believe on the next LV trip.

I saw Love in June 2008.

I cried.

It was quite possibly the best show I've seen in Vegas and I've seen quite a few (Zumanity, Mystere, and Ka).

So good that I plan on seeing it again when I visit for Christmas.

So question, what about it made you cry?

I saw Love this past July when I was with my friends, and I was the only one in the group who didn't cry (even my friend's boyfriend cried). I thought it was a good show, haven't seen any other of the Cirque's to compare it to, but to say it made me cry? Definitely not.


So glad we sat at the top though, I didn't know why our seats were more expensive than the seats closer to the stage, until we got to the bed section. Then I felt sorry for the people sitting down by the stage. lol.

I will say I was most definitely confused with the Pee-Wee Herman looking guy and who he was and what he was doing. Of course crying friend thought she new it all, but at the end I flat out told her she didn't know what she was saying (and she didn't, she made no sense).


I sooo wanted to see:
Zumanity--sorority sisters saw it and loved it
KA
don't know what it's called but it's the one where they are surrounded by water or something ( i think it's at the Rio)

Well, I generally love The Beatles. Seeing the songs sort of "acted out" just made me cry, partcularly "Hey Jude" and "Lonely People."

The sheer amazingness of it all made me cry (well, that and our seats were amazing).

Like, so amazing that one of the guys from the "All You Need is Love" scene came down and sat on my lap.

But really, the way it's set up, I find that there really are no BAD seats.

I can understand that, "Hey Jude" was my favorite part of the show. I can see that someone who generally loves the Beatles would cry, I definitely think my mom would bawl. I just didn't believe the sincerity in my friend's tears....especially since 2 seconds after saying how beautiful it was she started bitching about how they didn't play "let it be."


So i'm guessing you sat close to the bottom right? Were you able to see through the sheet and see what was happening above it?

Cause I was really bummed that I paid soo much for my ticket and wasn't close to the bottom, and then I saw them pull out the sheet, and I felt bad for the people at the bottom.

I PMed you, didn't want to spoil it for peeps who haven't seen it.
