Re: [81attendees] Cirque

I saw the show last night and it is truly excellent. I would encourage everybody who has not seen it yet  to go see it before you leave.

The acrobatics are similar in quality, though perhaps not quantity, to the regular shows.  On the whole, the show's production value, music, and cohesiveness are a quarter- to half-step down from the regular shows, but it's still very good.  Whether you've seen Cirque's regular shows or not, I highly recommend it.  (And it's free.)
