We saw two Cirque du Soliel shows while in Vegas. Ever since I saw La Nouba, I have been a huge Cirque fan. Thanks WDW for turning me onto more really great entertainment. Cirque shows are so difficult to describe, but I'll try. Here goes:
MYSTERE - This was one of the best Cirque shows I have seen. The music was haunting, with two women singing with beautiful voices. The stage itself was interesting, as it often disappeared into the floor. Smoke and steam flowed throughout the theater, hiding the actions on stage as the sets were changed. As always, the acrobats were amazing. They had four people hanging from bungees doing some amazing things. There were two men, beautiful men I might add, who were doing balancing exercises. They were both so strong, totally bulging muscles. The smaller guy seemed to balance himself on a finger resting on the base guy's toe. I'm sure I must be exaggerating, but it seemed that way to me. Absolutely amazing. This show had the best clown, an older fat man in a baby costume with a huge daiper and ruffled bonnett. He chose some lady from the audience as his MaMa, and bugged her the entire show. Just don't get popcorn. I saw one clown go throughout the audience and turn their popcorn onto their head. They also had huge puppets that were amazing. This huge snail took up the stage. It was very pretty, with cool purple colors. These were just my favorite things. This was the best show I saw. Mystere ticket prices are less expensive than Ka, the newest and top Cirque show there. We didn't see Ka, but I can say this was well worth the $.
ZUMANITY - This was Cirque's venture into the adult show. 21 and over only. This was really interesting. First, they had a very different drink and snack bar. Not just the usual popcorn (I assume the other shows have.) All of the snacks and drinks were named after an aphrodesiac. They had a chocolate delight and some fruit and cheese. I had a French Passion. It had Vodka, Pineapple Juice, Passionfruit Juice and other things. It was SOOO YUMMY! From the moment you come in, you know this is different. The lighting is red. The hallway outside the theater has little holes, like a peep show. The cast members are mingling (slinking) around the halls giving every passer-by sultry looks. All of the CM were beautiful or handsome. After you are seated, CM's continue to mingle, and the clowns inevitably get someone on stage. As for the PG description of a totally R rated show, it will be kinda hard. Still great music. Still great acrobats. Kinda creepy contortionist. The Master/Mistress of Ceremonies was a 6 foot plus drag queen. Really pretty, too in an Elvira kinda way. If you are squeemish about alternative lifestyles, take a pass on this show. If not, you will have a blast. Don't be suprised if audience members flash their girls. Happened twice during this show. It also showed the beauty of sex no matter whether you are classically beautiful or not (ie. obese chicks, old farts, a midget that just happened to be a really short buff guy that was an amazing arial acrobat, a he/she.) Great male exotic dancer. My absolute favorite. Again, these were just my favorites. There was so much more.
Thanks for reading everyone. I suggest Vegas to anyone. If you do go, make sure to see one of the Cirque shows. They are awesome.
