Guess where I got to go on thursday night? Cirque du Soleil was doing their Varekai show and Tracy had bought us tickets as a valentines day gift for me. It was fantastic...much better than other "traveling" shows I've seen. I love them all, but way prefer the permanent shows in Las Vegas. Have seen them all, Mystere, O, and Ka. I was entranced with O and amazed at Ka. But Mystere was awesome too. To me, the trick is to get a seat close enough to the stage to see their costumes and make-up in detail...that's what makes it in my opinion...that and the music! Anyhow...we managed to get in row C on the side (which is actually 5 rows back from the stage) and the perfect spot in my opinion. Except for the fact that we felt like sardines all crammed into a can, it was a magical evening. They design the seats with those little itty bitty acrobats in mind, I'm sure of it! Highly recommended if you live in the vicinity.
Wowieeeee! Lucky YOU! Teesha! That is sure to stimulate the creative juices!!! Woooooo Hoooo! ps. Happy Week-end! I've never been to Vegas! My hubby wants to!
ReplyDeleteHi I finally found your blog :) (actually I just now looked for it :) I love you!
ReplyDeleteHurray! I'm going this Thursday for my birthday- I'm glad to hear that it's a good one! I've seen several in Vegas, too, so I was wondering if this one might disappoint...
ReplyDeleteI'm going tonight, it's the first one I've seen live; I've seen several on DVD and have been wowed, so expect it will be wonderful. Will be taking my sketch book for moments of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Teesha,
ReplyDeleteI love your work! And what's cool is that I live in Las Vegas (but I never have money to go to any of the shows [single mom to 8 cats and a mortgage]).

After reading your comments about going to Vegas and seeing Cirque I took myself there for my birthday. I stayed at The Bellagio, had breakfast in bed, a spa day and saw "O". It was spectacular. My family all chipped in with each person giving me one element of the trip including a front row seat. I took my mini art kit and journal and my camera. I had high tea and journaled in the tea room. It was the best birthday ever. I will never forget it and will always treasure the experience. I plan to go see the new Cirque at Winn's for my next birthday. A new tradition in my new life of art and bliss. Thank you, Teesha. CP
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a show but on TV. However, they are coming to Cincinnati in August and we have front row seats!!
ReplyDeleteVery best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.
