I can't give a Cirque show less than 4 stars, but this was definitely the runt of the litter (at least out of the three shows we've seen). Mystere had its moments, but there were far too many lulls in the action. O is WAY more exciting and worth the extra price. Kooza (a traveling show that we saw in Los Angeles) was also better. Still, if you can swing discount tickets, Mystere is worth an evening -- but I wouldn't pay full price.
