Cirque du Soleil Delirium
Cirque du Soleil is awesome. This time again they have brought a new kind of show to us with great success! Less circus, more music experience. Music, dancing, lights, projections on huge screens, circus acts, etc. Wow. My seat was awesome! I was smack in the middle, about 15 rows up. Great overview but still not too far away. On each side of the arena were 2 huge giant screens. Plus sometimes there also was a big curtain covering the arena’s width, the whole lenght of the stage. On these screens projections: old woman, old man, young girl, fat man, and so forth going in and out of doors… flowers and birds… geometrical shapes… etc. Really interesting multimedia work! Then the dancers… They were energetic! The musicians were incorporated into the show… Not like at a usual Cirque show where they are hidden… Now they were a part of the Cirque universe. The acts were amazing from a hoolahoop girl to 4 very muscular pyramid guys. The theatrical side of the Cirque was also present with a long-legged man and a hot air balloon guy linking the different numbers. The finale with Alegria where everyone in the arena stood up, clapping, dancing was great! Delirium really lives up to it’s name. It’s a “delire” this show!
Amazing show. I saw them twice in Las Vegas already.

Cirque’s Delirium is to Cirque what brussel sprouts are to a great steak; what Austin Powers is to Dirty Harry. Delirium is NOT what Cirque has been about. Almost no acrobats. Just 90 minutes of monotone music with heavy percussion.
Not a WOW moment in the entire show. Not one. I’ve been to 4 other Cirque shows. They are true to form. This one is a sucker punch.
Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away.

This was horrible. I have seen previous shows of Cirque Du Soleil and I must say that this was the worst of all. First we had to sit through a 25 minute Squeeling of some singer that we could not understand even though she was singing in English. She was just too loud, screaming, simply boring. Then after another 20 minutes break the show was finally about to start. So we thought. It was a cheesy story line, with a freak hanging from a balloon trying to be funny, more strange songs and hard to understand music. The acrobatics were almost non-existing.
It was a bad show, and a waste of $250.

Man Nathalie and tom how mean… I loved Delirium. And Nitza, the Opening act, was not that bad either
