We just got back from the traveling Cirque du Soleil show Alegria. We’ve gone to see O and Mystere at their permanent locations in Las Vegas, but this was my first time seeing one of the traveling shows. Still, completely amazing. Beautiful, fun, powerful. I only wish that they were staying longer so that my niece and nephew could see the show when they come over to the states for our wedding next year.
When my older nephew was staying with us back home in Durham and going to my old high school, one of his friends got recruited by Cirque, and has been living up in Montreal for the past few years training. I can only imagine the scale of the operation up there, considering each show has at least 30 performers on each night and who knows how many backups/understudies/stage hands.
If you get a chance, you should go see it. Quite enjoyable even after seeing the other shows.
