text: This was the very first Cirque du Soleil performance that I have had the chance to see and I can say right off the bat that I loved itnnThis show was playing at the MGM and my family decided to go as part of a birthday present for my brother my moms idea She decided to go all out and get the best seats possible so we were first row I could feel the heat from the fire gushing out of their fire gushing effects I felt like I almost could fall over the edgennAnyway the show was wonderful The story line was good and the show was filled with martial arts inspired acrobatics with a lot of visual stunts and crazy fight scenes I loved every minute of it and it made me want to watch all the Cirque du SoleilnnSitting THAT close is not necessary I would have loved sitting a couple more rows back so that it would be easier to take the whole stage innnOh and pictures are definitely not allowed but they do take pictures of familiesindividualscouples before the show that you can purchase after the show if you want Reminded of a ride at Disneyland lol
