text: Saw the show in NYC last year and again this month The show used to feature English rockopera vocals and now it just features the Cirque gibberish you may be used to The English lyrics were utter nonsense and I thought the show would have been improved without them It was not Now the characters just stand on stage and sing to the audience but the audience has no idea what they are saying Two of the people I went with thought the words were in French and they just did not understand because they did not speak it It is like they did not bother to change the staging when they got rid of the story and the end result is awful Plus the female screeching has got to go Bring earplugsnnThe second half of the show features some really good acrobatic acts The trapeze is one of the best out there though Mystueres new trapeze act certainly rivals it and makes Zarkana feel redundant We have also seen the Wheel of Death before in Kuc But the handbalancing scene is stunningly beautiful and the final group acrobatic number is excellentnnApart from that though there is not much to write home about Most of the music is amateur and forgettable The stage is pretty at times especially in the first few scenes but the projections get old after a while The whole space scene is complete nonsense out of place and entirely unacceptable I was pretty bored up until the last couple acts so I cannot recommend this show
