This was the first Cirque du Soleil show I've seen outside of Houston so I was pretty impressed from the start by the theater and the fireballs coming from the huge hole in the stage. The acrobatics weren't as impressive as other Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen but the stage and special effects were beautiful! They had the same giant wheel scene that I had seen at a different Cirque du Soleil show in Houston but the performer here didn't seem as skilled and I feared for his life. He was jump roping on top of a giant spinning hamster wheel but his jump rope got caught and he lost it and had to get another one which kind of scared me. \n\nThe stage and special effects stole the show. My favorite scenes were the swimming, sand, shadow puppet and vertical battle scenes. The costumes and set were inventive. There is a story to this show but I didn't really understand it.
