Bob took me to my very first Cirque du Soleil performance on Thur in SJ as part of his bday gift to me (along with a very sweet mix cd of "our" songs). Yay! I've been wanting to see a cirque show for ages! It was pretty amazing & fun. :) He sums it up very well on his blog. I really enjoyed sitting behind 3 little Vietnamese girls who struck up a convo with us throughout the show. I think they made the show more special. And yeah, my favorite act had to be the wheel of death (see his blog for full description)...it was crazy when they started doing stuff on the outside of the wheel! There were plenty of moments throughout the show when I gasped/cringed in fear that someone would fall...but the performers were all really great! It was fun to watch the juggler too because, at least for the most basic stuff, I could see how he was doing it but knew there's not way I would be able to imitate him! Also, he did a LOT of tricks. Way more than any of the other performers. As for the clowns who provided entertainment between sets, I sorta just endured their performances and felt like they were maybe more for the kids than the adults. But one of the clowns was really good! He did a lot of slight of hand stuff and was quite funny. It was amusing to watch them involve the audience, and made me grateful that we were in the back! :) hehe
