Ka by Cirque du Soleil
"KÀ tells the vibrant, epic saga of separated twin heirs — a boy and a girl — who embark on a perilous journey to fulfil their linked destinies..."
I was so excited to see Ka by Cirque du Soleil!!!
It was my first Cirque show ever...and I was just in awe of them! The performances, the stage, lighting, sound...everything!!
There was no actual "stage"...it was moving platforms & props. The battle scene was FREAKING AWESOME! It was totally VERTICAL! When the perfomers stepped on the vertical platform, it looked like they were stepping on water because the lights cause a ripple effect...so very cool! And the sound...lmao! At the very beginning...I was like...oooo...what was that! So very detailed...so much going on. I turned my head at one point...and then I realized the SEATS had speakers IN them!!! Talk about surround sound! Wow.
So give it a rating!
I've always wanted to go to a show when I was in Las Vegas, but didn't because I had no one to go with! Well, this year I went with my aunts and cousin to Vegas again. I went off exploring by myself again and ended up at the Bellagio's Cirque store where I was listening to the soundtraks. I fell in love with the music, most especially Ka's soundtrak!
I bought it!!! ^__^ Here's the link to my box.net: KA Soundtrak
Unfortunately, the links to the songs are not allowing the option to just play the songs...you must download them to hear them. Well worth the time to do so...imho! lol
Here's a link to the MGM Grand's Ka page. It has a small commercial clip for the show...which is wonderful in it's self, but the show... O.O
Photos were not allowed in the theater. So no pics of the inside of the theater for me!! lol But I did take a couple of pics outside the theater and of a couple of the poster out in the MGM.
disclaimer: I only have a camera on my cell...so pic quality is not so hot. *blushes*
Ticket office where I happily handed over $160+ for my dead center, 4th row seat! *grins like a mad woman*
Cirque store for Ka at the MGM Grand...each hotel that had a Cirque show has it's own store dedicated to that particular show's merchandise.
Just as you walk in you see the wall of the theater which is made of wood and looks like the hull of a ship. Where you see that purplish light is the bar/snack shop.
Posters out in the MGM.
I realize that the money I spent was quite a bit. I could have paid off a bill or something very wise like that....but "What happens in Vegas...stays in Vegas"!
O.O ...like my money!!! lmao
However, I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Besides...I used my "Economic Stimulus" money to pay for the show!!! ^__^
Now that I've been to a Cirque show....I want to see Criss Angel's Believe even more!!! WOOT!!! Vegas here I come again this Fall!!!
I've been wanting to go to see this show this Fall...perhaps not to it's premier...but definitely want to see it sooner rather than later!!! I'm completely looking forward to it!!
Ok...that is enough for now. I found pics and some vid clips of the show via isearching...may post them for all later.
