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.
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. Posts: 3420 | Registered: Jun 2002

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.
