I'd heard about the Summer of Cirque promotion through Ticketmaster and decided to get tickets. I've never been much of a Cirque fan but wanted to give it a try while we were in Las Vegas (since half the shows there are Cirque style shows).

We decided on Zumanity because we'd heard that this was the least "Cirque-like" of the Vegas shows. This turned out to be a good thing and a bad thing. The show was more traditional with acts split up by a narrative from the announcer. This might be more accessible from someone who isn't really into cirque style shows, but on the other hand this may feel like less of a complete experience than the other shows.

Seating is set up in a semicircle around a centre stage and our seats were on the far right side. Most of the action happens in this center section so no seats are bad, but we did miss a good view of a few things (including the live band that descends from the ceiling, some of the backdrops and a couple props which face forwards.

We went in knowing that this show was adult themed and indeed there is a lot of adult content. There are a good variety of themes and topics presented and a good dash of adult humor. The might not be the show for those who are more conservative or are easily offended, but really there's nothing here that is overly shocking or offensive.

The acts were varied with some more interesting than others. I appreciated the acrobatics more than the humorous. Most of the comedy seemed juvenile instead of adult. The actors make full use of the theater and are interactively in and around the audience.

My fiancé enjoyed the show, but I thought it started to drag on a bit in the second half - maybe I was expecting more. The show was worth the discounted price ($50) but I wouldn't spend the regular $100+ per ticket.

We bought tickets to the show by phone and paid for the more expensive seats thinking we were getting some of the best seats in the house. The seats turned out to be directly to the side of the stage much further back than indicated by the salesperson with the performers disappearing from view occasionally. I was so disappointed in the seats it was hard to appreciate the show. The show is designed to be seen from the front and although we had comfortable couch style seats, a regular seat to the front of the stage would have been much better. I'd recommend checking out a seating chart before booking anything over the phone. With better seats I probably would give the show a 4.

It is still a Cirque show, no matter what anyone says. I think what enticed me the most is all the Cirque shows I've seen I am always curious as to what an actual body looks like doing it. Other Cirque shows there can be so much costume and makeup and accessories that you don't always picture the person as human. In Zumanity you can see the way a body bends- it's amazing. It isn't spectacular and may not honestly compare to the Vegas Cirques but it does to all the touring ones. The comedy was great and the music was beautiful reminded me of Alegria (which I loved for the music).

Nothing was truly new to me being such an avid Cirque fan, but after you've seen 3 or more shows most of the usual feats aren't different.

The theater is great... and to see the athletes body in such beautiful form is a treat.

This is the only Cirque show I have ever seen, but my husband and I both enjoyed it. I read all the reviews and was expecting to hate it, but it was great fun and very sexy. Based on the audience reaction (laughter, cheers, arousal) everyone seemed to be enjoying it. I think perhaps they tamed it down. There were no scenes with two males on the night I went. The only part I didn't like was the contortionist (gross), but there other sexy people on stage to watch so I didn't have to watch him.

If this was the worst of the Cirque shows, I can't wait to see the others.

I also went to see Folies, now that was totally boring. If you are deciding between these two pick Zumanity.
