I would not call Cirque du Soleil's O a show but rather, an experience. A truly magnificent one at that. I got tickets 25% off on the Bellagio site and managed to get 2 tickets near the middle in the third row for $128 each! On a budget, I wasn't planning on attending this show, but friends and relatives were telling me that it was a must see. So, since I was able to get such great tickets at that price, I figured why not.
I am extremely happy that I chose to go. It was an unbelievable experience. The show is so dark, abstract, and beautiful. There are so many animalistic sights and scenes that make you feel as if you're watching something almost alien. The music is magnificent, the lighting is perfect, costumes amazing, everything was just great. And you truly leave the show feeling mesmerized by the sheer beauty and excellence of what you have just witnessed.
I'm not going to try and describe the show or any of the scenes, because words cannot do it justice. It must be viewed first hand to understand how amazing this show is. All I can say is that the huge pool of water changes with platforms rising up and down, plenty of synchronized swimming and dives and tricks. Different scenes all have such different feelings with characters moving all throughout the stage, be it in front of the pool, in the pool, platforms on the pool, behind the pool or through the air. Sometimes you just don't know what to look at and just stare in awe of it all. If I have one show to suggest anyone to see in Vegas, it is Cirque du Soleil's O.
