We are. Addicted to Cirque du Soleil, that is. And have been for 8 years now. Any traveling show we can get to we do. We love it! We went to Wintuk in NYC at Madison Square Gardens…a boy’s quest to find snow. It was a good one. We really enjoyed La Nouba at Walt Disney World as there were a lot of children actually in the show. Some of the traveling shows we have been to include Corteo, Delirium, Saltimbanco and Alegria (this is all I can remember off hand). In Vegas we have seen Mystere’ twice as that is Adam’s absolute favorite (I love it, too!). We’ve seen O which is based on/in water so is really awesome and Ka which is based around fire. Ka was good but not good enough we’d go see again. Love. Ahhhh, Love. That is by far my favorite. The first time we saw it several years ago when it first came out we didn’t understand any of it. It is based on the Beatles. Now we know why we didn’t understand it. It was all sex, drugs and rock and roll then! But the music-oh, the music and the show was fabulous so I knew that on this trip that was the one thing I definitely wanted to do again was go to Love one more time. So, we did. And it was even better this time around!
Sadly, Cirque du Soleil disappointed us, though. We had been anticipating the new show Elvis. And I mean anticipating it very much so as in Adam grew up right next to Graceland and we spend A LOT OF MONEY on good tickets for this show. It was horrible. The only thing they DID do right was tell the story of his life. Otherwise they slaughtered his music. I shouldn’t put it like that, I guess but it just wasn’t done right. They had other people singing his music instead of using his own tracks (like they did with the Beatles). It was just so so disappointing. So NOT Cirque du Soleil. Directed very poorly. And, oddly I know that his daughter approved it because I remember reading that somewhere.
Anyways, I have my eye on a show coming to Denver next winter….road trip?
