Nrthwnd Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 ^ I saw that, and it made me wonder what languages is this sing-a-long going to be in? Not to mention, nearly all the "songs" from all Cirque's shows are not (to me) 'memorable' etc. But I took and look and listen. It was nice. Loved all the acts in it, and the music as well.

Nrthwnd Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I honestly believe there's another thread for Cirque... in another context. None the less... I just grabbed two VIP tickets to Cirque's (then) First Show in Vancouver ..... Alegria. We first saw it in 2003, their first tour of a show to Vancouver, since causing a huge sensation at our 1986 World`s Fair! I still have the program and tickets for it. But next year, April 22nd, we will be seeing it on David`s and my 50th Anniversary date! It cost me nearly $700 Cdn. for the tix. But it`ll be VIP, with free parking, drinks and nibbles before the show begins,. Free program, too. Even I can`t wait!!! The 2003 programme/program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 ^ my favorite Cirque show. It just was playing in Houston - we passed the tents two weeks ago when in Houston visiting my Dad. enjoy. I've seen it 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 ^ This will be the first time, we've ever repeated a Cirque show! But like I said, it was our first one, so the timing is awesome for our anniversary. And I get to give it to him as a Holiday Day prezzie!

bert425 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 ^ supposedly added 4 new acts to it. . . so not exactly the same show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 ^ That's okay. It's a hoot just to be able to re-visit it, after all these years. And the CD is still one of my faves to play, of all the Cirque show CDs I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 ^ Very nice choices. My fave CDs are Alegria, ZED, and KA, although I have never been to Vegas to see any of their shows, including KA. This was at Tokyo Disneyland from 2009-2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 ^ 1000% worth the visit to Vegas just to experience (in the order of show greatness: "O", "Love", "Mystere", "Ka" . . . then any of the other options, (I'm just not a Michael Jackson big fan, but I've heard "One" is fun). "Zumanity" seriously under impressed me, but I think maybe that shut down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 ^ I'm not too sure, if I'll/we'll ever be able to come back to the U.S. But it's still nice to have the soundtracks of all the shows in Las Vegas. And beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 ......With the way current medical 'things' are going, I am wondering if Cirque's Alegria Tour will still come to us in late March. Best case scenario, I get my $$$ back, if they have to cancel, etc. Still, it will be sad if they do have to cancel the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Alegria is now playing in Vancouver! And we're going to be seeing it this coming Friday, Earth Day, April 22nd. On our 50th Annniversary! From heading into town for other things, I see we've gotten the blue striped chapiteau to see the show in. Very nice. And we're going to have the VIP Experience, too! Free cocktails, food, cast meetings, and program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 my favorite Cirque show . . . love this soundtrack. have fun, and happy Anniversary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 ^ It was the first Cirque show that toured to Vancouver (2003), so it, and the soundtrack cd, are a fave of ours. The original program we got, back in 2003. I'm bringing it with us for this 2022 tour. To 'compare' the tours, etc. Will post a TR once we're there and in the VIP Tent, etc. Done! The "Alegria" TR is at the end of my 50th Anny thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Well, I just ordered two "VIP Experience" tickets to another Cirque du Soleil show coming to town, one year from now (!): KOOZA. This is the show's second appearance in Vancouver, the first being in .... 2010. And we saw it back then. And got the CD, too. This time though, we're getting perks with our "VIP" tix, including great seats, open bar and nibbles, and it all costs ..... $632 (cdn) for two tix. It's a perfect Solstice Gift to give .... the both of us, heh. And this will 'almost' be paid off before the year is over. Woo hoo! The soundtrack from the show we saw, in 2010. This could be a "new version" of the former show. Like ALEGRIA was re-done. And still awesome to see .... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 Been awhile here - and btw, KOOZA ^ was wonderful! And the food AND the drinks, and meeting some interesting patrons also seeing it. Another great Cirque visit! And there's another Cirque show coming to town, this Oct/Nov/Dec. Bought tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show coming to town in November .... ECHO. And for the third time here, we're going VIP again! Free appys and tapas, drinks, meeting cast members, separate entry, bathrooms and a lovely outdoor terrace (with separate tables and chairs) to eat, drink, and enjoy the evening. Plus, we get a "swag bag" each, with the programme in it and 'other surprises.' EDIT To Add: I bought the tickets for our 52nd Anniversary, which will be on April 22nd. I think David will like this, since it's my gift and we're not 'splitting it' between us. Hmmm. Maybe he'll give me a Tokyo Disneyland Resort trip ........ eventually. This will be roughly 'the view' from where we'll be sitting for this show. Nice. Photos from Cirque du Soleil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 11, 2024 Share Posted May 11, 2024 This is "a bit late" here, but these are the photos I took, when KOOZA returned to town last November. And again, we had the VIP tickets, which in my mind is still a great deal for what you get. Free food, drinks, private entry into the grand chapiteau, outdoor terrace, separate bathrooms from the gp's, and free souvenirs, including the programme, etc. Almost there. Yep, we're at the right place. The photo op to show we were there. BC Place Stadium behind the main tent. Swag to buy. I got the KOOZA t-shirt, in a much larger size, lol. And the food kept coming and coming and..... Open bar, too. A couple of cast members are always available for photo ops, before the show begins. The gp in their own entryway. Busy, busy. Just before it all starts. Start of The Bows. The whole show was wonderful! Acknowledging the band up there. . It's fuzzy, but the band is there! Final bows and goodbyes. "Until we (VIP) meet again....Dec. (Friday The)13th.....ECHO." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
