In this thread, we discuss the Cirque du Soleil shows that we've seen (or wanna see)

I've seen 4 Cirque shows:
Allegria
Quidam
Varekai
and I saw "O" in LV last night.

"O" was really beautfiul and moving; my favorite so far. I also really liked Allegria and Varekai. Quidam was my least, but still impressive in that true Cirque du Soleil style.

I'd really love to see Mystere, the sexy one "Zumanity" and then the Beatles "Love" one. Even Ka sounds pretty cool.

"Le Reve" is not a Cirque show, but was created by Franco Dragone, ex-Cirque du Soleil guy. I saw part of it last year at The Wynn, but we had to LEAVE 45 minutes in, due to a mechanical problem with the stage and get a refund!!! Can you believe it? I was so choked.

i have seen the cirque show "la nouba" at disney world twice-it was just as awe inspiring the 2nd time as the first. i have several other performances on tape from when they were just a touring company. fabulous, fabulous performances and well worth the price of admission. definately see them in person if you get the chance!!

Thanks for the thread. We are going in July and are discussing which Cirque show to see

My friend Sandra saw Mystere last September and loved it

I have seen Mystere, Love (twice), O, and Zumanity. I want to see Ka within the next few months. I think Love was my favorite, I went to the premiere and the after party. There were a lot of celebrities (including Paul, Ringo, and Yoko), which made it crazy packed at the Mirage.

I would love to see some of the non-Vegas shows but I haven't had a chance.

I just went to my first show on Thursday night. It was Corteo. It was absolutely amazing. A new favorite for me.

I saw Mystere in Las Vegas last summer. It was definitely worth every penny!

Oh, we were in Vegas in March and I was begging the Mr. to go see Love-because I love the Beatles and we've never been to Cirque. I was like, thisclose to getting him to say yes, and then we were in the baggage claim where they show advertisements for all the shows?? And one for Love came on, and it had bubbles and clowns singing and he was like-Hell no.

We missed Love.

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 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.

What? You still haven't seen Dralion? You're killing me over here! I worked for Cirque for the Southern California runs of the Dralion and Varekai shows; so, of course I'm a little partial.

I'm kicking myself for not seeing Corteo when I had the chance back in 2008. Because I don't work in event management anymore, I didn't apply to work that run when it came through. My roommate really wanted to see it with me but we both dropped the ball when it came to finding a time to go and buying tickets.

The two that I'd really like to see are O and Ka, in that order!

.....Kelly
