Anyone here ever seen them?

Im going to Dralion next Tuesday and was wondering if anyone had a heads up.

I'm very jealous. I've never seen them but I know they are meant to be amazing. I have seen a couple of people who worked with Cirque de soleil and they were excellent. I would assume a whole show would be incredible.

I saw Drailon in Barcelona about a year back... hard to describe

just when you think you've seen the most incredible stunt they go and do something even more amazing

the whole thing is breathtaking - the hairs on my neck are stind just thinking about it <shiver>

Out of curiosity, where did you guys get interested in Cirque de soleil?

Is it because they are renowned or just a general circus interest?

girlfriend bought tickets...

had heard them cos eddie jordan used to have them dance around his new F1 cars every january

almost none of the irish people i mention them to have heard of them

its amazing that they havn't come here yet - are we not rich enough????
they could add 50% to the london ticket price and still fill the place for 2 weeks surely...

the leotards mostly!

My uncle once told me about them after a visit to Spain where they toured last year although I had seen them on TV and kinda knew about them but not by name. Looked them up after that - goodness knows why they dont come here.

Heading for a few days to Valencia this Sunday and by chance I saw it advertised and booked two tickets straight away. Told the girlfriend Ive booked something but havent told her what, its driving her mad. Im really looking forward to it, there are loads of videos of them on the net but ive tried not to see too many so as not to spoil it.
