I saw it at Radio City. I enjoyed the show but it's funny, at this moment I can't remember the theme of the show though I could describe the theme of each of the Cirque shows I've seen in Vegas. I haven't yet seen Elvis but based on the reviews on this board and elsewhere, I believe Zarkana will definitely be an improvement.

Theme......THEME!...we don't need no stinkin' THEME!
(Sorry, lol) CIRQUE Shows should work with or without a theme. I know
they certainly do for me.

Seems to me folks who are looking for/waiting for a theme to make
itself obvious in order for them to enjoy a production like CIRQUE
puts before us, are probably missing a lot of the Show.
Just let your senses gather the information that's obvious and...ENJOY!

And I certainly hope you're right FFlowers...I wish ZARKANA all the best
at ARIA and....thank ya, thank ya, thank ya vera much VIVA ELVIS.
To all the Artists, you good intentions were much appreciated!

Theme Theme. LOL.

So, you liked Viva Elvis? It's the only Cirque show in Vegas that I have not seen so part of me wants to check the box and give it a shot, especially since it is closing soon. At your suggestion, I think I'm going to check out Phantom in April too.

What say you re: Elvis?

VIVA ELVIS was/is fine. A bit disjointed, real strong sometimes,
real weak in other spots. I was entertained enough but it certainly
wasn't up to other CIRQUE standards I've seen.
If you can find a good ticket price, I'd check it out before it's gone,
but I wouldn't pay full price or sit too close.
Like other CIRQUE Shows, the Upper Rear is what ya want.

Oh yes, we will be there during the preview. I can't wait for a new Cirque show. We have seen all of them.

Any reviews on this yet?

Not from me...(yet), I'll see it THIS THURSDAY.
Along with SANTANA, BLUE MAN GROUP, LEWIS BLACK, GORTORIUM,
and The DOOBIE BROTHERS.

We will see it 12/5...very much looking forward to it.

GREGRIO, many of us wait anxiously for your reviews. It's been a week. Nothing?
