Corteo

I just saw the Cirque de Soleil show Corteo this evening in Atlanta. This is the best Cirque show that i have seen (I have seen Allegra and then knock off Cirque show called Cirque Dreams). This show is not to be missed. The music is great, the acrobatics and performances are awesome, the story is interesting, the acts are funny and the costumes are cool. As I was sitting there I thought back to ancient times when performances would entertain kings and thought this was surely a show fit for a king. It was amazing what some of the performers could do. I think my favorite was the trampoline/acrobatics but they also had performers hanging from chandeliers, balancing on ladders, rolling in rings, jumping from bars and even playing a song with just glasses. The funniest thing was the midget attached to huge balloons and she just jumped from hand to hand in the audience just floating - too funny. It was a good mix of entertaining acts (ie the midget and balloons) to amazing physical feats (ie the acrobatics). Here is an official list of acts from the website: Adagio Duet, Bouncing Beds, Chandeliers, Cyr Wheel, Juggling, Ladder, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Paradise, Teeterboard, Tightwire, Tournik, Helium Dance, Glasses, Teatro Intimo, and Puppet Artist. Upcoming shows are in the following cities: Dallas, Houston, Columbus and Denver. Book now because the show sold out in Atlanta. If you don't want to take my word for it there is a min preview of the performances on the website - definitely check it out.
