Best Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas for a teen boy?
O?
Ka? Mystere? Others? |
Does he like Elvis or the Beatles?
|
I think Ka would be a good choice.
|
Can't go wrong really. If he happens to like the Beatles then LOVE is definitely it. However, I think "O" is the best show in Vegas hands down.
|
Both of my teen boys really liked "O" but that is the only Cirque show they have seen so I can't compare.
|
Ka!
|
My son's favorite is "Mystere". He has also seen "O" and "Ka!". "Ka!" is his least favorite.
|
Teen Boy would like Zumanity if his parents didn't go with him. LOL.
Seriously, My daughter liked KA and O. Haven't been to the others. |
I travelled with friends, and we had one teenaged girl and two teenaged boys. All three liked Ka and Mystere.
|
I loved O and Mystere...hated Ka!
|
I just saw le Reve, I have seen LOVE and Mystere. I have not seen "O". I think he would like Love out of them all I have seen to compare it is my favorite. If he likes music a lot I would opt for that--if he is a swimmer Le Reve. You know him best---Mystere I believe has the best prices, and it is more like a circus to me. But still very good.
|
I would recommend KA. It has a lot of action in it that I think a teen boy would like. You can also get reasonably priced tickets for it right now. See: http://www.vegashotelspecial.com/shows/15-K%C3%80/
|
LOL Spirodog: Zumanity of course. :)
If he likes action - KA 4 sure. O is a lot the same as Reve or vice versa. Good over water performance. Mystere may still be as good as any of them and usually is less expensive/has some discounts. About the only one we haven't seen if the Beatles one - Love? whatever. Heard the songs are great. |
And all the story lines are fairy-tale - fairly basic - so I don't think it really matters from the plot perspective.
|
A teen boy would certainly like zumanity the best. He would never forget the show.
|
Ahhhh - be advised Zumanity does have nudity and risque scenes.
|
<Ahhhh - be advised Zumanity does have nudity and risque scenes.>
Which is why it would be unforgettable to him. O is a terrific show. |
I think he might actually like Ka better...who knows...but since there were a few negative recommendations for Ka and none for O...decided to go with the latter. And perhaps his dad and I will like O better also. Thanks for all the input.
|
O is my wife's favorite and I thought it was also very good. I just thought a young boy might like the action more in KA.
And Zumanity has themes that I do not think are really that appropriate for a young boy - and I ain't no prude either. :) |
Having arrived back from Vegas now and seen O, I wanted to add my review of it here for others considering seeing the show. I know there are all kinds of tastes and so wanted to give my opinion based on the type of stuff I like so others might be able to decide where their tastes lie. If you like things like ballet, opera, and synchronized swimming, you will probably like O.
I absolutely hated the show. It was the first Cirque du Soleil I've ever seen so perhaps didn't know what to expect. Perhaps naively, due to the price of the tickets, I didn't realize it was an amalgam of circus acts...fire twirlers, contortionists, synchronized swimmers, clown act a la 3 Stooges, etc. The acts, props, characters seemed all totally random. There was no theme or continuity. The music was all instrumental or operatic. I felt like I was watching America's Got Talent or The Gong Show. Note that on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 1...but my son did enjoy it somewhat more. He'd probably give it a 5. |
