Cirque du Soleil

[DaveR]

Just been to see this at the RAH.

If you get a chance - go. The extravagance of the design and the talent of the performers is hard to describe. If you've seen the finale routine with the swings I'm sure you'll know exactly what I mean. It's difficult to convey just how spectacular it is using ordinary words.

In summary:

Saw it last year.

Bloody ace, isnt it.

Well reccomended trip out.

[AMLK]

We last year and thought it was fantastic, really hope I can get the chance to go again this year. Well worth the pennies.

Saw it a couple of years ago and thought nothing could beat it until we saw Le Reve at The Wynn in Vegas. Similar but way better if you can believe it.

Have seen quidam and dralion, both excellent and astonishing entertainment

[JakeS]

Two of my friends have worked for them so have seen most their shows. They are truly excellent!

[dirty boy]

We saw O in Vegas too, easily the most impressive show i've seen, and i've seen a few.

[Famous Graham]

Another Vegas viewing, but I saw Mystere last year. Twas excellent

Dave, how long does it last roughly? I wanna take my dad for his birthday (He's always wanted to go) but where is best to sit? is the circle a bad idea?

Cheers

was going to take the OH and her folks, but her mom doesnt want to go to the 'circus', im not sure she understands it so we are going to stomp instead and i will take the OH when her folks leave the country.

Cant wait to book.

Hi Fraser,

We were in the stalls (J) which was nigh on perfect being slightly above stage level. I guess some of the performers spent some time pretty much level with the Circle though!

Time-wise, as someone else said, it just flies, but I reckon around an hour for each half with 25 mins interval so call it two and a half hours and you won't be far out. Go if you can; your Dad will thank you profusely for it. As Mrs DaveR (who bought our tickets) said, "I've waited all my life to see that and I wasn't disappointed!"

Been a few times, a really good night out. We normally pay a bit extra for teh Tapas Rogue tickets, which provide premium seating and a complimentary bar before and at the interval. The RAH does a similar thing, as it isn't available at all the venues, then we go for ringside seats.

We're going to see Zed in Tokyo later this year.
