"O" as in N'O'

"Never been to a Cirque show before and after much reviewing and friend influences to go see these shows - we reviewed 'o', got the most expensive seats and really looked forward to it...

VERY DISAPPOINTED... lots of non-sense... randomness... no story line (and that could be my fault for expecting a story), stunts/acrobatics... blah, nothing out of this world... u see better stuff on TV. Water acrobatics? Please... bunch of people diving in and out of a water with cute costumes... and that is really it - lots of eye-candy... nice costumes and that is all... music was terrible... not my taste at all... was expecting something more eclectic/operatic.... very pop-Hindi cookie cutter compositions.

What saved the show? The clown interludes were real funny... real cute... and well done.

In a nutshell... I am a very open-minded person, cultured and artsy and really anything goes but this show inspires nothing. I went to this particular show because it had the best ratings everywhere I looked. But still, I don't regret not going - at least I know what they are about (will never pay to see another one). If you are unsure - trust me, get the cheap seats - at least you can say you've done a show. But expect no storyline, sub par acrobatics/stunts, lots of non-sense movement and sequences... very long, and emotionless.

People next to me were oohing and aahing - I can't understand why - if you are easily amused, think germans cars are better then japanese cars, have and ipod but use a pc, use ShutterFly instead of Flickr, or use Hotmail/Yahoo instead of Gmail - then you will like it - if not, you know there are better things out there. Hope this helps... I could have used a young, urban, real-rating to this show."


UPDATE - forgot to mention I posted this review on www.yelp.com. Wish I had know about this site before hand - now YOU know! ;-)
