I saw Ka in 2006 and loved it so much that when my boyfriend and I went to Vegas this summer, we saw Ka again, and also Zumanity. They're both very impressive shows in their own right. I also saw Zaia when I was in Macau - it's much more like the original Cirque shows than Ka or Zumanity, but it still had a more modern/funky twist on it.

Has anyone seen Wintuk? It's playing MSG this year and I'm thinking I want to get tickets .

Cirque du Soleil
 

About 2 years ago I took the Ms. to go see Corteo. Music, stunts and light show where awesome.

I just saw BELIEVE on Wednesday at the Luxor. It was okay, but not my favorite. I think it's trying to be all things to all people. The rabbits "fressing" on his make believe charbroiled electocuted corpse was a little ugh and over the top, but whatever. I'm also not big into the "interpretive" dance.

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

eta: I just saw that Kooza is coming to my city in the months ahead. YAY!

You'll love O...it's the best.

I've seen:
O- twice. It was my first and will always be my favorite.
La Nouba- twice.
Alegria.
Zumanity- meh. It was okay.
Some other traveling show that I don't remember.
Mystere- okay but kinda kiddie.
Missed Ka because I was getting trashed at Aureole and lost track of time. :mad:

I've seen Alegrea (sp) & just yesterday, I won 2 free tixs to see Ovo.

Coming up, I am seeing "Dralion" (#10) in June, "Totem" (#11) in July and Michael Jackson 'Immortal' (#12) in November. So my tally is now...

Allegria
Quidam
Varekai
"O"
Corteo
Zumanity
OVO
Believe
Kooza

Allegria
OVO

I'm going to Vegas in a month, and I'm trying to decide which show to see. I've skimmed through the thread, but I'm still not sure what to do...

During the time I'll be there, Mystere isn't showing. I keep hearing good things about O, but I understand it's more expensive. I'm trying to do and see as much as I possibly can over just a few short days, so I'm thinking I'd rather go to one of the cheaper shows.

Which leaves me with:

1) Ka
2) Love
3) Zumanity

Which one do I pick?!

I'm not so sure that Ka is on the top of my list, so I might just rule that one out.. unless someone here says it's a MUST SEE. But.. I still have a tough decision to make based on the two that are left. I hear Zumanity is great.. and the guy I'm going with loves the Beatles.. and I don't know which to choose! He left the decision up to me.

Keep in mind that neither one of us has ever seen a Cirque show before...

I saw Ovo on Wednesday. I no longer believe in physics.

I really want to see Corteo.
Too bad it's crazy expensive.

I would NOT see Love, unless you are a huge Beatles fan. It's a good show, but it is not the real "Cirque experience", in my opinion, so as a first show, it's not a good choice.

Ahhh, now I don't know what to do. I was leaning more toward this one, but I see what you're saying. I think one of the main reasons I questioned having it be my first show is because it is such a focused and specific theme.

Reading reviews online, there are more people who have disliked Zumanity than there are those who've disliked Love (that sounded weird), however, it seems that most of the negative reviews are from people who were uncomfortable because of the sexual content, and they didn't truly know what they were walking into. But me.. I say bring it on! :p I'll be in Vegas.. Things SHOULD get a little risque.

But now we're considering trying to cram in both shows... We can't decide!

KA

Please. pick that one. I promise you'll be enthralled, especially if it's your first Cirque experience.

I've seen Alegria (liked it) & Love (meh...). Can't remember what else, off the top of my head.

Sorry :-)

When are you going to be there? I'm going on May 17th.

We'll just miss each other.. I'm leaving 3 days before that!

So my tally is now...

Allegria
Quidam
Varekai
"O"
Corteo
Zumanity
OVO
Believe
Kooza
Dralion
TOTEM
Michael Jackson 'Immortal'
and in November 2012: Amaluna

Going to see my 6th Cirque du Soleil show tonight!!

My tally right now:

So here's my updated tally, to add the 7th show I saw last night:

Corteo
La Nouba
Ovo
Ka
Dralion
Totem
Quidam
