Aviva and I braved the cold (its just now getting above freezing here) to see the show last night. It was similar but different from the other shows we’ve seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is touted as a multimedia event, and it is – it reminds me of what I’ve read and been told about (and experienced in later incarnations) for a multimedia event might be like in the 60’s, without the drugs (in our case at least). There was no tent this time (good thing since we had at least 8 inches of snow), the performance was held inside the United Center. There were large screens flanking the main stage, which cut the center in half – seating was only on one half, divided long-ways, of the Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

We had our noses bleeding up in section 317 – we could see everything but it was small and way way up there! It was like sitting at an American football game high up in the stands – it was disorienting for Aviva and I because we don’t usually walk up and sit at such an incline.<\/span><\/p>\n

The music was interesting, but at least two slow numbers sounded like bad French ballads; the uptempo rythmic tunes were very interesting and snappy. There were acrobats, but I would guess 4 – 5 performances, and they weren’t over the top or scary; these were mostly acts that had performed in other shows (or did the same act at least).<\/span><\/p>\n

We were both glad we saw the show – I told Aviva I thought it was a Cirque du Soleil live music video!<\/span><\/p>\n

As usual, here’s the ticket stub (we did ours on-line this time – worked great, no lines at will-call).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
