text: Having seen a few of Cirque's shows, I can attest that although this was one of the oldest productions, it wasn't the best. \n\nAs usual, the performances were spectacular. The feats of strength and flexibility produced by these men and women are a delight to see. The costuming and prop work were flawless, the music was enchanting, the light show was magical and the crew did an amazing rigging job. It's too bad that most of the scenes, or chapters within the show, get lost in the overall theme or story. Elements of the concept were confusing, missing and unnoticeable to me and that's too bad. Comical punctuations sprinkled throughout the show, although enjoyable, only served to further dilute the show's impressive sets. \n\nOverall, quite a decent first glance at the world of Cirque. On the other hand, veteran viewers will find the holes in its production glaringly obvious.
