If you play sports you know that an Olympic rink for example changes how you play versus the smaller NHL rink. (and here even in the same complex for example 1 of the rinks might be bigger then 3 of the others, then the twin pads on south street are shorter then regulation...)

Originally Posted By kennect I simply don't get the pricing on this type of show...Apparently there are a ton of people willing to pay the price but for me it just seems way over the top....It hits here Saturday for three nights...Here was intially two nights and then they added a third night...I really can't believe ticket sales have been so good to add that third evening...It will be interesting to see if I end up going or not...I can't find a single friend that is willing to spend the bucks..... Lee, As a side note...Corteo will be released on April 11th on DVD...I hate to ruin any mystery of a touring show but I am really anxious to see this one...Have seen or are you aware of the idea it really is more of a theater in the round idea?
Originally Posted By leemac ^^ I didn't know that. I'm hoping to catch it when it is in NYC the same week as TARZAN premieres. We decided to skip Delirium. I do have the CD and enjoy it but don't think I really want to drop that amount of cash on a concert show. Would prefer to wait for Cirque's take on the Yellow Submarine to open in Vegas this year.
Originally Posted By kennect Lee, that is another thing about this show that is strange...I might be wrong but I don't think the CD has anything to do with the actual touring show...The tracks I have from the cd sound nothing like the arrangements I have heard from the show...Cirque just seems to becoming a little too much for me....I have to say though, I really love the KA' cd...Hopefully one of these days I will get around to seeing that show....I also, can't wait to hear their take on the Beatle's....That should be interesting...I like the idea that the surviving members and spouses of the other members of the group gave them the ok to do the show...
Originally Posted By leemac I didn't know that. I should take a closer look at the website. KA is incredible. It is an amazing show and really proved that Cirque are capable of producing theatrical shows and not just acrobatics. The story is compelling and the stage is simply the most incredible piece of technology I have ever seen in a theater. I tell you it comes close to O IMO.
Originally Posted By kennect Well thankfully I got over my "I am not going to see Delirium" fit...I decided I was better off setting that money aside to purchase a new video projection system so I can watch it when it comes out on DVD....You know there is going to be one....
