Default Cirque du Soleil

I've been watching these people on TV today, they are friggen awesome!

Have any of you ever been to one of their shows in person? I think I'd really enjoy seeing this stuff in person. Tell me what you guys think of Cirque du Soleil.

i've seen allegria. it was unbelievable. third row back, vip tickets (well worth it). at the live shows u get to see stuff in the crowd that sometimes doesn't get shown on the tv or videos. plus the atmosphere is electric.

La Nouva is a resident show here in Orlando. I've seen it twice. By far the best of all Cirque, IMO. My favorite act is the last one, a.k.a. "Power Track" where about a couple dozen acrobats tumble on specially made (very, very bouncy) cross-tumbling tracks, all choreographed and sychronized. You'll be amazed what these guys and gals can do! Plus the live music! The girl's got the owesome voice! Highly recommanded if you have a chance to come to Orlando .

I've seen 3 different ones and they all kicked ass. Those acrobats are amazing.

I have seen maybe three of their shows, all great. But the absolute best, is "O" in Las Vegas!

YAh, when i went to vegas i saw 'O' and alegria and one of there shows just came to dallas. I actually got flown to vegas a year and a half ago to audition for them because I have a strong theatre backround from highschool and I activly participated in gymnastics. It was an amazing experience. Only 2 of the 30 or 40 people who auditioned made it. Aparently I just needed more gymnastics experience... oh well!!! it was alot of fun, i'd rather do film anyways!! By far O was the best show i've seen of theirs!

yeah, saw O in vegas. my gf got them for us and i REALLY thought i'd hate it (knew nothing about it whatsoever before going). after seeing it, i can honestly say it is one of the best shows i've ever seen. i'm planning on seeing the rest. trust us, it is an awesome experience. you must go there and see it in person.

"O "and Mystere play in Vegas. I've seen both and Draconia (sp?). While I enjoyed "O" I felt the acrobatics in Mystere was much better as was the overall production (costume, effects). Draconia was a travelling show so they tend to be a little less flair, as they are limited in space.

Saw Mystere in Vegas....one of the best shows I've ever seen. We're going back just so we can see "O."
