A little too much of the emcee - but overall highly enticing!

We really had our heart set on this show so we were delighted when Tix 4 Tonight (bottom of coke bottle next to MGM) did have these tickets featured the day we went. We got upper orchestra seats for $73 a ticket. Thank goodness a friend had warned me ahead of time that you DO NOT want to be in the orchestra section (which are the most expensive tickets) unless you possibly want to be taken on stage. This show has ALOT of audience participation, & if you are in the lower level, YOU ARE FAIR GAME! They never bothered anyone in the second level up, which in my opinion are better seats anyways. You must take advantage of the free photo shoot prior to the show, go a little early to be sure you have time. Our pictures turned out great & came in a souvineer album for about $40 which included 2 5x7 pictures & makes a great keepsake! The show is very entertaining with lots of amazing acrobatics. In between scenes were short comedy skits (everything revolves around sex or sexuality). I have to be honest that it wasn't as sexual as I thought it would be, so for some people that may be a good thing. The one thing I didn't like about the show was the emcee talked alot & I wish the show would have had more fluidity. There wasn't really a storyline, just lots of different acts put together. I was totally in a trance the whole time, so much so that I only finished 1/2 of my drink in 1 1/2 hours. The Zumanity gift shop had some great "couples" items for sale, too. Fun even just to look around at.

Gave my friend a choice between Zumanity and Ka for her birthday (I wanted Ka, lol) she chose Zumanity. Tickets were kinda pricey, but not insane, Ka was much more expensive (but I've heard it's much better as well) . It was good for more laughs than anything else, not the acrobatics your used to seeing in a Cirque Du Soleil show. I've seen O, Mystere and now Zumanity and would say Mysetere was my favorite. I'd recommend by not an overwhelming recommendation.

I was truly amazed by how many people on this site thought this show was trashy and unamusing—after seeing it myself, I don't know how anyone could feel that way. I thought this was incredible…I am by no means a die-hard, Cirque du Soleil fan, but I laughed so hard and thought this was so sexy and funny—and the audience seemed to have felt the same way. I am confused by why this show has such poor reviews and such a low rating.

My one question is, where is the ½ man, ½ goat that’s in all of the previews and teasers? He was nowhere to be found in the performance and I was disappointed. Otherwise, I loved the entire performance. The dancers were beautiful, men and women alike…what I loved the most was that I felt there were so many normal, ordinary performers—no one in the show is a supermodel, and I really think the show highlighted the fact that anyone and everyone can be sexy. Everyone was happy, smiling, having a good time. The last Cirque performance I saw was Wintuk, and I thought that was AWFUL…this really reinstated my interest in the organization.

If you think this show is trashy, I think you really need to take a ride back to your suburb. I have seen a lot of trashy things in my life, and this is not one of them. It’s not for the conservative or closed-minded; but if you go with a friend or a significant other, you will really laugh your a$$ off. Don't go in there expecting O or Mystere. This is not a fancy, uber elegant Cirque show, and if you expect that, you shouldn't go. Cirque did something different for Zumanity, and I think that's what people have problems with.

We paid for the red seats right in the front, and ended up front row on the side of the stage: I personally don’t think this is fantastic seating, considering you are at eye-level with the stage—and the loveseats are NOT as comfortable as they should be for $130+ per ticket—but we really loved the show. Sexy, funny, witty and beautiful all rolled into one. Especially in Vegas, this is a must-see…there is plenty of trashiness elsewhere, but it is NOT here.

You have to go with an open mind. I saw 2 other Cirque shows before seeing this one. It's not the same. It's a Cirque show with an edge. It's topless and very sexual. Definitely more for couples. The sexual side was fun and the Cirque side was very entertaining. I probably wouldn't see it again, but I'm glad that I did go.

This show was so bad that I literally could not get out of town fast enough. I went back to my hotel, gathered my things and spent the night in the airport to get the next flight out in the morning. I feel dirty and polluted by what I saw and am worried that I will need a Lobotomy to get this Filth out of my head.
