best cirque de soliel show

[fishyak]

IMO, Ka is far better than Mystere. Haven't been to O or Love yet. Other than Zumanity, which might be hit or miss, I don't know how you can go wrong with good seats at any of these shows. That's why they hang around so long and so successfully.

If you stay at the hotel connected with the show you want to attend, that can help you with a quality ticket hook-up. MGM + Players Club + Ka = front row center tickets for my family last summer by placing the ticket order along with the reservation.

i thought la nouba was great.

Count me in the 1 per cent.

Love is a music show, done by Cirque. Best pure Cirque show is Mystere, however O and Ka are very good as well, one's got the water, the other has the stage you can move any way you want.

If you have never seen Cirque, skip Love, its not what Cirque is all about, same with Zumanity. See one of the other three shows in town, they are more like what made Cirque and its reputation today. I'm not saying Love or Zumanity are bad, just that they represent the evolution of Cirque and are a little farther from acrobatic origins of troupe.

Enjoy, I have seen seven different Cirque shows and its an amazing experience each time.

There is a ticket store in the fashion mall that sells tickets to shows, day of the show at a discount. We got tickets to Mystere here and saved $15 or so. Mystere is the cheapest Cirque show, and it's awesome. Also been to Zumanity, w/ my wife, and we both really liked that. Haven't been to O or Ka yet, and I'm not much of a beetles fan, but would probably still go see Love regardless.

As others are pointing out, there are so much that goes into a "best".. you need to give a set of criteria for what your wife wants to see in Cirque.

Mysterie is fab. and true cirque that is not far from the true roots of the company.

O is awesome. She'll have the wow factor as everyone she'll talk with knows about the Bellagio and maybe about the water show. As all cirque shows it is strange, unique, awe-inspiring, etc.

LOVE is great, but hey, can you really go wrong with The Beatles. A glorified and unusual music video...

Zumanity is fun/entertaining but, think sexual circus...wife might need to be in a mood to see it...

KA is fantastic. It's boardway cirque. Great storyline and different cirque stuff (Mysterie to the next level) Everything about it brings you into the story and action. You are in a different world when you're in this theatre... the multi-functional, hydro-stage is fancinating to see change.


Best Value = KA
Best Wow factor = O
Best True Cirque = Mysterie

I seriously doubt 99% would agree LOVE is best. In fact, I don't think it's all that great of a show. The music is excellent (matter of opinion, if you like the Beatles, but probably not a matter of argument that the remastering sounds excellent.)

I've only seen one other show, and heard other shows explained. They all seem more "entertaining" in terms of "show" than LOVE. Ka was, for me. Quite a show. It was like a play, martial arts, and circus performance combined. Nothing like LOVE, really, which was just music with people dancing and running around. Cool, but different.

Havent seen Ka yet, but as to the others, LOVE is about great music accompanied by good performers, Mystere is about great performances accompanied by good music. O is like Mystere, but not as impressive IMHO, and Zumanity is even less impressive, but of course, a little sexier. All of them were worth the money.

domer02 as in ND '02? Welcome to the forums.

Of the three I've seen ("O", Mystere, and Love). I'd recommend Mystere.

I think it's still the cheapest seats, It's traditional Cirque du Soleil, and you should be able to get good seats easily.

When I went, I bought my tix on-line through the box office. I got front row seats about 6 weeks ahead of time, at face (and that was two years ago).

"O" is great for extravaganza, you certainly wouldn't be disappointed. Love was a lot of fun, especially if you're a Beatles fan. However, it's not traditional Cirque (i.e., the acrobatics, etc), and is more of a show, than a circus.

Ka is the next one I'll see. I've heard great things about it. My wife has no interest at all in Zumanity, so I doubt we'll go see that one.

That should go in BBV. Bad Beat man. I went to Zumanity and one of the hot chicks on stage was checking me out the whole show. So much so my girlfriend got really pissed. At the end of the show she falls on my lap and takes me on stage and strips me down to my boxers while 10 hotties rub me all over. Really was a fun time.
