DELIRIUM- A Live Musical Event

Posted by Mintieman (Member # 4620) on :

I adored Varekai when I saw it. Cirque Du Soleil are so amazing

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

I'm very jealous. I've seen 3 of their shows and every one has been amazing.

I want to see the one called "LOVE" based on the entire musical history of the Beatles. It's supposed to be really great and it just opened.

If you ever get to the Orlando area, go see La Nouba.

I saw 'O' when I was in Vegas this past February. It was totally awesome. The stage would be a swimming pool, then rise up and all the water would be gone. I was so fascinated by all aspects of the show. As a theatre person, I couldn't help but be awed by the talent that went into every aspect of that show.

La Nouba is definately my favorite so far, though I have a friend currently in training for a show that will premiere in May so I might have to like that one better. [Razz]

How was Delirium?

Dragon, do I know your friend? Oh, and Ash says hi.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Delirium was wonderful!

With one exception, the show delivered everything it promised. A sensory overload extravaganza of popular songs from previous Cirque shows remixed into a rapid live musical number...complete with acrobats and bizarre characters.

The only letdown: Let Me Fall (my favorite song from Quidam) was mysteriously absent from the show. It's on the official soundtrack CD and listed as a number on the website...I can only guess that technical difficulties prevented it from being performed.

This is a -very- FX intensive show.

Mike - Jacob Skeffington? He was on tour a little after you were I think... he started in '99. And you can tell Ash that I say 'hi' back. [Smile]

I adored Delirium. I'm not familiar enough with their past music to miss a piece here and there and the whole thing was stunning. Very large scale and different than their shows usually are. I loved the images presented and the music and clever staging. Great fun!!

(I saw it in Portland, OR in October.)

I've seen O, La Nouba, and Dralion. When I saw O, my wife and I had the center two seats in the front row. That was pretty awesome. I'd love to see it again, though, because I was too exhausted to properly appreciate it.
