Cirque Du Soleil

I went to Vegas in April with my sister and mom and we went to go see Cirque du soleil (Ka). It is unbelievable and worth going. I can't imagine you wouldn't be able to find someone to go with you. It really is crazy what they do.

 

lol...did you watch the video, Rikky? I'm pretty sure you can't compare any of the cirque du soleil to any of the circus' you saw as a kid. LOL

 

Hi

kinda suprised Nick has not seen this thread yet as he is a fully paid up member of cirque du soleil, not been to any yet myself and may not do anytime soon but they do look impressive and TBH I'd rather see this type of show on tv over rhe dross we get now, like I'm a celebrity ********** and rhe multitude if make me famous music, dance programs!!

Good comedy and family viewing or shows like this are rarities these days, bring back Live at the Paladium I say (oldish theatre show with various acts from music to comedy to circus for the non UKers)

 

Huh?? Like one of the performers? Or like sees a lot of the shows?

 

sorry i missed this thread :-o
their shows are magnificent and my favorite's are Alegría and Quidam followed very closely by La Nouba
i have their complete listings of all their works in DVD box sets They only come to London once a year as we are not on their top list but none the less i feel their worth seeing despite the ticket price being on the high side for some
i will try to find one of their very special acts for you on you tube the last time i looked it wasn't there but will have a look again

 

Bill, nail and head... to be very honest I have no idea why he has not had a knighthood yet over the one hot wonder sports folk! he has done much for charity and entertainment to warrant a knighthood 10x over.


Cirque Du Soleil is just a great looking spectacle that is fun for all, basically what is missing in our entertainment these days over "celebrity this that and other" "pop goes the weasel" et all

 

I see you as being more the contortionist, Rikky.

So you aren't up there on the ropes, huh, Nick? LOL

I've only seen the one show. A shame you don't get them there often. We have tons all over. Jeez, there were 3 separate ones in Vegas we could choose from

 

the clip i was looking for has been removed which is a pity it was the snowstorm from alegria which to this day i have never seen anything like it and being in the front row will never forget

however this clip i love as it's just pure innocence from a bunch of extremely talented young girls

i have found it the famous cirque clip
the clip is over 8 minutes and must be seen in full to appreciate the complexity of the performance

this act is very intense and the only one of it's kind and owing to the complex nature might not always be available on tour as their are no stand In's also please note that the music from this clip can make some people emotional such is it's beauty

also you have to remember for those who have never seen their shows is that the music accompanying the performer's is live and is exact as the performance itself with no errors and it is that which makes their shows so special to all who go to see them
