Just went and saw Cirque du Soliel last night. They rocked the house!

Imagine, Freud, Sartre, Magritte, Dali, Alvin Aily and the worlds greatest acrobats on one giant acid trip. That is what the show "Delerium" was like.

It was just awesome. I've seen probably a hundred live performances in my life, and thousands on T.V., but this one topped them all.

1. Saw them in Vegas in the late 90's

I think it was Mystique or something like that. Loved the initial hugh drums coming down from roof and the drummers straddling them and banging away, after that I got bored. For a very long time. I'd rather have been in Pittsburgh

5. Mystere, and it was playing in Vegas when I lived there. But tickets

were over a hundred dollars. I couldn't afford over three-hundred dollars for a night out. I have seen them on television a few times, but of course it's nothing like being there in person.

2. Cool! I saw "O" a couple of years ago, and was just awed by it!

They are a fabulous group, aren't they?

[Joe Fields]

6. I wasn't sure if I would like "O" or not, because I had heard it was

an all water performance. But then they showed a bit of it on television, and I was completely blown away. I would love to see all of their shows in person.

3. I just saw my fifth Cirque show Saturday--Zumanity.

I've also seen Quidam, Dralion, Allegria and La Nouba. All great. Quidam is my favorite, and Zumanity was beautiful and erotic.

7. lucky you. I wish I had such disposable income for my family.

Everything of theirs that I have seen, I have been blown away by.

[Shakespeare]

9. This has been over the last ten years--they don't come cheaply, even for me.

I've never seen a bad Cirque show, either.

4. I first saw them in Toronto

in the mid 80's, when they were first starting out.

What a fantastic show that was. They got a fan for life.

[Joe Fields]

8. Lucky dog. Some of the all-time greatest creative performance

minds to have ever inhabited space on this planet.

10. We're seeing it next Friday!

Thanks for the preview - I can't wait. I got tickets for me, Mrs. Danno and our two boys as a big Christmas gift, thus justifying the indeed high price.

But after seeing them perform "Ka" at the MGM in Las Vegas last summer, I couldn't pass up the chance.

During their performance, I actually wept several times at the beauty and spectacle that kept coming in waves. I had to remind my 13 year-old to breathe a few times.

Best. Live. Experience. Ever.
