I am surprised by some of the negative comments -- i personally really enjoyed the show. The acrobatic acts were phenomenal, the set design was great, and I really loved the upbeat music.  This show is more lighthearted than other cirque shows I have seen and is probably great to bring kids to. 'O' is a more sophisticated show, but it doesn't make Zarkana worse, its just different with a different appeal. The acrobats are the true stars of the show and five stars are for their incredible talents and the risk they take every single day to put on this show for all of us. We also got tickets at the half price booth  but they were only slightly discounted (not half price) and we sat in the center (front to middle) orchestra and had a great view of everything happening on stage.
