“Amazing theatrics”

KA - Cirque du Soleil

Yes, it's expensive but it's a one-of-a-kind production you can only see in Vegas. This is not like other Cirque shows with acrobatics and clowns loosely based on a theme. This has a story and some incredible visuals and acrobatics. Truly a memorable experience from the "gatekeepers" who interact with theater patrons, to the speakers in your headrests, to the action which takes place above, behind, beside and in front of you.

This was our first Cirque du Soleil show and we loved it. The theatre is amazing, costumes fabulous, stunts etc very very good. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 older teenagers and we all liked different aspects. There is almost certainly something for everyone in this show. A part that I thought was just very good my 16-year-old thought truly awesome, and the vertical stage with people 'flying" off it, which I found stunning, left him relatively unmoved. A memorable evening.

GO SEE IT! I chose The Phantom for our 25th anniversary and both my hubby & I loved it. So the next day on a whim he chose KA. I personally could have taken it or left it. Wow! Was I wrong! This is one incredible show! A true must see.

We had seen Mystere a couple of years ago...that was good but for some reaon I ebcame bored. KA was great from start to finish. Do Not let anyone tell you that you do not need to be close to the stage since in a Cirque production ther are things happening all around you. While that is semi-true, let's face it 95% of the real action is always on the stage. So splurge and get as close as you can. By the way we are in our 50's FYI
One more thing...very easy to follow But i recommend buying a program befroe and reading it while everyone is being seated. Then you know all of the details of what is happening...a nicety not a necessity though.

Saw this show in early December and I was amazed. The costumes spectacular and the acrobats were using marshall arts and the usual flips and jumps.

The best part of the show was the 50ft stage that turned, rotated and flipped in all directions with the performers jumping all over it. Hard to imagine, but amazing to see. The sets behind were also stunning.

I have never seen a Cirque show before and if the any of the others are half as good as this than they're definately worth seeing.

I just returned from a pre-Christmas week and first-time visit to Las Vegas. Not being a gambler, I wanted to see a couple of shows and was especially interested in seeing any of the Cirque du Soleil shows, having enjoyed La Nouba in Orlando twice. First up -- got an off price ticket to Zumanity. This was a disappointment. I saw the first show after their return to the stage from a break. I thought the performance was rather lackluster, the music not memorable. I purchased the program and thought later --- they didn't do this, where was that.... Almost like an incomplete performance. The theatre was not full.

The next night I purchased a full price ticket to KA at the MGM Grand box office. Now this was a performance to remember! The theatre itself is stunning. The mood begins to be set from the moment you enter with smoke and flames emanating from the stage. There is a (fairly) clear dramatic story -- buy the program either before or after the show -- it helps. What can be said of the performance? It is like an opera or an adventure movie, with episodes of intense drama and action followed by interludes of tender respite. And the trademark Cirque du Soleil "clown" comedy is present as well! The storm at sea terrifies. The transformation of the yurt into a flying contraption is captivating. The battle on the vertical wall takes your breath away for minutes. The shadowplay scene and the realm of the insects are magical. And the rotating "ballet" on The Machine is classic Cirque.

The music is fantastic and the CD worth purchasing. Think Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky -- the storm scene music brings to mind The Battle on the Ice -- and Orff's Carmina Burana. The stage effects are truly amazing. Take binoculars if you have them to get a close-up look at the stage mechanism itself, and wonder at the creativity and ingenuity of those responsible for KA.
