Fodor's Expert Review Zumanity

Zumanity is the Strip's "R-rated" Cirque, one that deliberately shuns the family market to indulge in an erotic, near-naked exploration of sexuality. The end product still fuses Cirque acrobatics with European cabaret and English music-hall tradition. And the show has changed a lot over the years, in search of the right blend of song, comedy, and omnisexual titillation. The familiar Cirque acrobatics literalize metaphors for love and sex: taking flight, soaring, and so on. The challenge is trying to play to both the easily shocked and the jaded. But if you approach it with the winking, accepting tone of drag host Edie, it's easy to be seduced.
