Finally saw a production by Cirque Du Soleil after hearing for years how awesome they were. I can now honestly answer the question, "Are they as good as everyone says they are??"
The answer is a very definitive YES!!!!!!
It was so spectacular, the perfect blend of theatre, comedy, music and circus. I could not believe it, some of the stunts they were performing were mind-boggling and there was always so much going on at once.
So, to try and rein back my uncharacteristic enthusiasm, good points were:
- Death-defying tricks
- Perfectly choreographed acts
- Fantastic comedic routines
- The costumes and facial expressions.
- Awesome music, it always created beautiful moods, as well as this a live band is cool.
- Good use of props.
So basically I am just saying if you ever get a chance to see a performance, take it. It's so good because it all fits together so well, mmm, listening to soundtrack and imagining I'm watching it again.
