text: There were a couple of applauseworthy moments but otherwise in a wordBLECH nnWe ordered VIP seats which are pretty nice in that they are right up in front of the ice but as soon as we sat down we detected the very strong stench of mold So that was our initiation The venue itself is old old school vegas lounge which has huge kitsch value nnThe show itself just felt very foreign from beginning to end foreign in that the humor choreography and dancers personalities just seemed so bizarre I feel like this must have been choreographed by some old Russian guy about decades ago For example a woman started doing a bunch of hula hoops At one point she had about going at the same time from knee to neck which was pretty cool But then someone came out and dumped about hula hoops on her After a huge heaveho she hoists them all up to simultaneously swing them around about full rotations Then she dropped them looking to the audience for applause as if that was supposed to impress us I wanted to jump up and say to her sometimes less is more honeynnThe acrobatic scenes had these painfully long pauses before one person would jump on a seesaw to have the other fly up in the air They kept doing basically the same move over and over again with a second pause before the little flip years ago this may have captivated audiences but in todays hyperspeed media world it does not cut itnnThe curtain call was also strange After each soloist came out and took their little individual bows the curtain went down suddenly and all the lights went out Everybody was desperate to leave but after some awkward moments in the dark the curtain and lights come back up seconds later and they all skate up slowly to take a bow Strange given that they would already pretty much taken their bow nnThe humor sections were just painful not funny at all and the actors doing the humor were so cheesy The skaters were for the most part joyless not enjoying their time there and clearly watching the clock They could have upped the kitsch factor by making this a topless show but let us face it that would just make this show a different kind of tragicnnThe best thing about this show is that it is only an hour long We pretty much sprinted out as soon as it endednnWe got these tix for half price but still overpaid I would value this show at around person Can I suggest you pay the premium to go see one of the Cirque shows
