text: I liked, but did not love, La Reve.\n\nAs others have mentioned though, that is probably because I had seen several Cirque shows before, both in Vegas and on tour.  \n\nLa Reve is pretty to look at and very well done... and there are elements that I truly enjoyed but it just didn't hold my attention the entire time like a Cirque show can. \n\nWhat I did like was the somewhat dark and mysterious nature of the show in spots.  The opening with the craggy, industrial looking tree and the acrobatics that take place on it, is fantastic to watch.  \n\nAlso the section with the angels (though some people have said \"doves\" but my first thought was angels) reminded me of what I would think an angel would look like.  Not that I am particularly religious, I'm not... I just don't buy into sweet and gentle nature of angels that is so commonplace.  With that in mind, that particular part of the show was kind of like a Revelations type descent from heaven come to life, for me.  It was pretty breathtaking.  \n\nAside from that, because I am a dancer I love watching choreography of all forms and I love the demonstration of the human body and what it's capable of.  These performers are so strong, and so well rehearsed... it's really quite awesome.\n\nWould I go back and see it again?  No.   There really isn't a bad seat in the house, and it was worth my time.. I had wanted to see it for a while.. but all things considered I would prefer to see Ka next or go back and see Zumanity again.   YMMV.
