Which Cirque Du Soleil Show in Vegas?

[mia1181]

Anyone have any recommendations? DH has already seen "O" and loved it so what else should we see?

Oh and BTW, I think I''d like to avoid the one with the creepy old man dressed as a baby. Which one is that?

 

[hlpkaixin3344]

KA was amazing. We also saw Zumanity, which was pretty sexually explict.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

My favorite is "Love"....AMAZING. My second is "Zumanity".

 

[puffy]

we also enjoyed "LOVE" then probably "KA"
"O" is my favorite though but since that''s out....
what ever show you watch, it''ll be great! have fun

That one is Mystere. . .

 

[~*Alexis*~]

Mystere was my fave...then Zumanity....

 

[mia1181]

Ha ha so I guess there''s not one that is overwhelmingly the favorite.

I really wanted to see Love because I adore the Beatles, but it''s not on the website so maybe it''s not playing anymore?

The Chris Angel show looks interesting, but seem less "acrobatic" than the other ones.

Keep chiming in I still have no idea which to see....

When are you going? FF and I are going in December. I think we''re going to go see O. Last time we saw Zumanity, and that''s my favorite show in Vegas behind Blue Man Group.

One thing I noticed when we were looking at times and dates of the shows, is that on the different show sites, it only tells you some of the shows, so we had to go look at all of them. I noticed this because the Criss Angel show said that it opened on such and such date, but when I went to look to see if it was open the dates we were there, it said it was closed, but when I looked at a different show, it showed the Criss Angel show WAS showing on those dates. It was really confusing for a while.

 

[mia1181]

Freke- We''re going the weekend after Thanksgiving. I always wanted to see O, but I don''t want to make DH see it again. Even though he loved it and keeps saying he''d like to see it again. I just think it would be more fun to experience a show for the first time together. Right now I can''t decide between "Believe" and "Ka." Both look really cool. Ka looks more "Cirque Du Soleil" and Criss Angel (is that how you spell it?) looks more trendy but I love the Donnie Darko feel to it, but it seems like a smaller production.

Hmmm.... need to decide.....

Have you tried the regular Cirque site? Pick a show and click "buy tickets" and then they list all the shows and you can click from there. I think prices and everything is different for December because of the holidays.

beLIEve, by Criss Angel got horrible, horrible, horrible reviews. People walked out, demanded refunds, and formed mobs in the bathroom.

Apparently, it''s over-the-top gruesome. From what I read and interviews Criss did about the show, the first scene involves Criss being "electrocuted" and his skin appears to "melt" off---sending him into convulsions and into the recessess of his brain--like, dancing rabbits that naw his skin off

. He has warned people the show isn''t classic Cirque, nor is it like his show Mind Freak...it''s different, and dark, and macabe. However, if you chance it--you might get a good look at Holly Madison!

If you want to see a classically Cirque show, would suggest KA. Its true Cirque...the story is interesting...the music is good...the closer you can get to the stage the better.

Zumanity is very intense and a truely adult show... with lots of audiance interaction and if you want to be pulled up on stage, its a lot of fun.

Ka and Love are great.

If you want to see ''magic'', skip Criss Angel and see Penn and Teller. It is a far far better show!

 

[diane5006]

Loved "O" have seen it twice would see it again anyday...

Nothing quite compares...although the others are good

 

[curiopotter]

O was my favorite, it''s absolutely amazing! .. I''d want to see LOVE next time I go, but if I take my husband this time, I''d make him see O. Zumanity is a good choice too.

 

[pennquaker09]

If you''ve already seen "O" I would have to recommend "KA" then "Zummanity."

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Am I the only one totally turned off by Criss Angel? I would NEVER want to see his show even though I am a cirque fan.

Freke- We're going the weekend after Thanksgiving.

My GF and I will be there the same wknd.

We're staying at Bellagio and seeing O Sunday night. (After coming back from a sunset Grand Canyon Tour!)

 

[mia1181]

Thanks everyone. Italia thanks for telling me about the Criss Angel reviews I hadn''t read any, but boy am I glad I did! It got 1 star on yelp out of like 50 reviews! Yikes! That must be pretty bad!

So know it''s between Ka and Love (which I guess is still there, even though it wasn''t on the website- maybe that''s what you were saying Freke?).

Hmmm... it sounds like O is the best though. DH wouldn''t hesitate to see it again but I just keep thinking we should see a new show together.

Tacori- No I''m with you on not liking Criss Angel. I''ve never really liked him or his show. I really don''t see what those girls see in him. I guess I thought since it was the newest Cirque show, it would be good. Plus I like the dark feel it was supposed to have. But from reviews it isn''t very good anyway.

And while I have you on one of my threads can I say you have the cutest daughter ever! I love seeing her grow in your avatar and feel so compelled to tell you that whenever I read of your posts on other people''s threads, but figure it''s rude to threadjack. Anyway she really is such a cutie!

Aw cool! We are staying at the Bellagio too! It will be our first time actually staying there, but I''ve wanted to for a while.

Oh, you are so sweet! I still cannot believe she is 1. I have a toddler!

"Love" really is amazing. I really think you should see that. Plus you said you are a Beatles fan so what could be better?!?

 

[loriken214]

DH and I try to go to Vegas for our anniversary every Valentine''s Day. We''ve seen O and DH has seen Zumanity (when I couldn''t go to Vegas one year) and I''d be interested in the other shows, too. Has anyone see Rita Rudner?

So know it''s between Ka and Love (which I guess is still there, even though it wasn''t on the website- maybe that''s what you were saying Freke?).

Yeah, I think so. We''re staying at the Mirage and so the LOVE show times were up on there, but Criss Angel''s show wasn''t, then we went to the Luxor site to see if Criss''s show was showing on there, and it was. Then we went to the main Cirque site, and everything but O was on there. Finally we figured out that all of them would be on while we were there, the sites were just messed up. It was pretty confusing and frustrating at first though.

 

[dani13]

"O" is definitely my favorite Cirque show! I have basically seen all the other Las Vegas Cirque's that have been previously mentioned here too. "Ka" was also great. I recently saw "Love" the last time I was in LV this past May, and that was good too. But "O" is just amazing!!!!!

 

[Lauren8211]

I can''t say enough good things about Love. That''s the only Cirque show I''ve seen, but it was AMAZING!!! I''ve recommended it to everyone I know.

 

[PaulaW]

We''ve only seen "KA" and it was incredible. The set was amazing and the show is action packed and breathtaking! We really wanted to see "O" as well and had heard great things about it, but we couldn''t get tickets - it worked out so well for us! I''m sure you''ll love whatever you see!

 

[Italiahaircolor]

How about La Reve at the Wynn? Not a cirque show...but I''ve heard it just might be "better"...and it''s another water show.

 

[grapegravity]

I highly recommend le reve!!! I saw it (front roa) with FI for our 10th year anniversay and it was wroth one penny!!
Zoomanity, Ka and O was alright....

"Zumanity" is extravagent and HOT!!! A+

"Love" is really touching, and the elements of modern/concept based dancing are phenomenal.

 

[Elmorton]

I''ve heard Love is AMAZING. I''d go to Vegas just to see it
