Cirque du Soleil "Mystère"

On Sunday evening, Sally and I went to Treasure Island to see the 8 p.m. show of Mystère.

Only one problem. The show starts at 7 p.m. I hadn't checked the show time. Oops!

So, instead, we saw the 9:30 p.m. show.

What a great show! Per request, I took no photos. The summary of the show is here:

Mystère™ is classic Cirque du Soleil®, combining the powerful athleticism, high-energy acrobatics and inspiring imagery that has become the company’s hallmark. Deemed a theatrical "flower in the desert," Mystère thrills generations of audiences with its exhilarating blend of whimsy, drama and the unimaginable brought to life on stage. Presented exclusively at Treasure Island, Mystère provides the ultimate discovery that life itself is a mystery.

Honored eight times as "Best Production Show" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mystère has an international cast of 72 performers featuring dancers, singers, musicians and champion-caliber acrobats. The Chicago Tribune called Mystère, "one of the most innovative and exciting shows to be seen anywhere". Directed by Franco Dragone.

The trailer of the show is here.

We were seated very close to stage level. It was thrilling to have the clown walk right past us and choose a couple two seats behind us for his amusing antics. Later on, the flying trapeze-like acrobats were spinning right above us and we felt almost like we part of the action.

Go see it!
