I was very impressed after watching my first Cirque du Soleil show this week. We found a great deal online for summer shows and got to sit in row E for over 70% off the regular price. I not only enjoyed the skilled and talented acrobats, but I was also amazed by the mechanics behind the rotating stages and platforms. I also can't believe one guy is in charge of all that cork sand. While the show as a whole was great, it did have its low points. I didn't really see how the cartoon-like humor fit into the overall style during the beach scene. The plot was also very weak as the show was more about its flashy jumps and acrobatics than the storyline. I thought there would also be more pyrotechnics - the balls of fire prior to the start of the show were misleading. But, these low points were overshadowed by the stunts done on the amazing rotating stages. I loved the use of arrows throughout the show. If you can score a good deal, this show is a definite must see. By the way, I can't get the catchy soundtrack out of my head either.
