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

CutiePie2000 · #1 04-30-2007, 12:14 AM

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 saw mystere in vegas with some pledge brothers. Got seats in the second row and it was totally worth it. Great great show.

jill -

we're going to see Zumanity in a couple weekends .. my mom has already seen it, when she was working at the Mirage they gave her tickets... she said she really liked it. We're also going to the Beatle's LOVE...

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.

My boyfriend and I saw Quidam last year and are seeing Delirium this Friday. I am excited!

I saw Ka in 2005. Loved it. Would love to see another Cirque show.

I've seen quite a few. In order of favorite to least favorite:

1. O - Absolutely amazing!
2. Varekai
3. Quidam
4. Zumanity
5. Alegria
6. Mystere
7. KA

I'm a big Cirque fan. I can't help it. I haven't been able to go to many of the newer shows recently but I'll make it up soon.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I was so amazed and am already ready to see another show. I can see a show every month if I could. Unfortunately it comes to my city every two years. The last one that came before Corteo was Allegria, but I had no interest at the time. I regret that. This is an absolute favorite of mine now. I listen to the soundtrack every day on my way home from work, the music is undescribeable (sp?). Being a band geek, I LOVE live music, especially when it is so rich with culture. I had to get the dvd, too. I have to say that I am a merchandise freak. I always have to hit up the gift shop and buy everything! LOL. And their gift shop was crazy! The masks were like, $125.00. They were beautiful, but not that beautiful.

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

Munchkin03 · #13 08-30-2007, 08:52 PM

I saw Corteo last year. It was great!

We got tix for the new winter themed show at MSG for a while starting in Nov. Wintuk

JennRN · #15 08-30-2007, 10:58 PM

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.
