Le Reve, we thought it had so much potential from what we read in a few good reviews, from its advertising & print ad, and because it was in the beautiful Wynn hotel. Ohhh sadly and $200+ lost...it was not worth the money or our time. Before the show started, when I walked in the theater, I was impressed by the beauty of the theater and set. It was elegant and lavish. The shape of the theater is circular which allows for all around good viewing. However, in the first few minutes after Le Reve started I knew we were in for a long show, and a fake, poorly copied, rendition of a Cirque Du Soleil. The show lacked any level of sophistication; it simply felt like an elaborate high school production. Yes the set was beautiful, however, almost every other facet of the show felt amateur- the "acting", costumes, choreography, most of the props, the music & a few poorly timed and sloppy acrobatics. Le Reve was a jumbled, disorganized mess of confused story line/plot, although I could see that they were trying to hide behind the theme of "good & evil". However, where was the director trying to go with it and why did they fall back on all the endless, dim cliches? The silly looking devil and even sillier looking angel costumes seemed like they were bought at some corner store, from the cheap, leftover Halloween costumes bin. One description....those stupid, stiletto, red heels poking out of the water dancing all around...I mean WTF. If you're not a male with a foot/shoe fetish, you'll probably think the dancing shoes are ridicules & TACKY!!! My boyfriend and I giggled and yawned our way through Le Reve and had regular mutters "do you want to go" or "I can't take it anymore...this is awful." However, beyond all the silliness, the show was just boring and noisy, it lacked true entertainment, grace or mystique. It simply felt that Le Reve was trying to imitate one of the Cirque Du Soleil shows, particularly "O", but it fell disastrously flat. Le Reve played with water as their set, but it was "O" that masterfully incorporated it so well to the point that "O" is called the water show. I must say that I may have given Le Reve 2 stars if my boyfriend and I hadn't seen "O" by Cirque Du Soleil two nights before. We were completely spoiled. We've seen 5 great show so far on this trip and Le Reve unfortunately was a waste of money. Please save your money and go and see "O" instead. "O" costumes, set, acrobatics, choreography, music & finesse is so fantastic, moving & interesting. If you are not stuck on the water theme, any Cirque show will probably do. Thanks for reading!!
