Criss Angel Believe
 
Has anyone seen or heard about Cirque du Soleil's new show, Criss Angel Believe? I saw it last month and I really enjoyed it.

We will be in Vegas early Jan and are wondering if he will be on then?
We are from Australia and are wondering if we would need to get tickets before we leave?
Where was he on?
Thanks
Donna

Believe me when I say this show sucks (pardon my French)! We went this past weekend and hated almost every minute of it. We love Cirque Shows (this was our 5th) and this is the only one that we did not like. While some are better than others, this one is just flat out bad. We bought our tickets several months ago (before show opened) and was hoping all the negative reviews were wrong. Unfortunately, I don't believe they were negative enough.

FTR, I was so looking forward to this show and am very disappointed to have to share this bad review. Go see LOVE.......

Interesting to hear that you enjoyed it. The Los Angeles Times totally ripped it:

Travel_Gato...who enjoyed the show????

The show is definitely not your "typical" Cirque show. Much like Zumanity brought out the "senual side of Cirque" this show is simply expressing a different part of Cirque. Its Cirque combined with Criss Angel. This is the first time that Cirque du Soleil has done a show where there is a main character so you will need to have an open mind to enjoy it.

I wonder who the genius was who thought that combining Cirque and Criss Angel would be a good idea.

Love Cirque; despise Angel.

MaliaBrody...I mildly disagree. We love cirque and went with a very open mind (we'd read the numerous bad reviews). Unfortunately, the show is not good from a Cirque or Angel perspective. In fact, the magic is not dramatic and borders on amatuer.
