I have seen Mystere, "O", LOVE and Ka! Of those, Ka! is my least favorite, but that is not to say we didn't enjoy it. The theater and the staging are wonderful, but for some reason I didn't love it. We enjoyed "O" more. Mystere is my favorite Cirque show and I've seen it three times. I saw LOVE in September and thought it was fantastic, especially if you are a Beatles fan.

I've seen Mystere and O both twice. This summer I saw LaReve and Ka. I'm not sure that there weren't elements of KA that were my favorites of all of them. The huge stage which goes vertical while a fight rages on with the participants on bungee cords bouncing off horizontally was amazing.

on one hand, the stage is a technical marvel. on the other hand, so are the stages at O and Love (in their own rights).
personally, I rank Ka as #3 on my list of the LV shows. aside from the regular cirque aspects (of which i recall Ka as being minimal), some of the sets are extremely visually stimulating and I was quite thrilled by the fact that everyone (notably the ticket takers and ushers) are part of the act. all of the riggings (for lack of a better word) surrounding the stage are definitely intriguing and the pre-show, while not as high in the audience interaction as other shows, definitely helps set the mood of the show.
but all that said, O was my least favorite. so if O ranks so highly with you, perhaps advice of others should be heeded in this case.

A funny point about KA. They make a huge thing about you MUST be seated 15 minutes before the actual show time. So at 15 minutes before the show, I motioned for an usher who was nearby to come over. I remarked that it was amazing that the house was less than half sold. She insisted that it was fully sold out. When I asked how that is possible since no one else would be seated since it was now 15 minutes before the show, she was puzzled.
