I want to live inside of Cirque Du Soleil’s IRIS. Steve and I saw the show on January 10th and our jaws were heavy and our minds were blown. I can’t even begin to describe what a wonderful night we had!
I love all Cirque shows. It’s honestly like watching the most brilliant, bizarre, and beautiful dream. I’m not kidding when I say I would live inside of IRIS if I could. I’ve always been fascinated with the 1920′s and IRIS gave me quite a whimsical insight! I also love the old circuses (hence my bridal shower) and even just the giant Ring Master’s on the side of the stage were getting my heart to pitter patter. I’m telling you… this show couldn’t have been more perfect.
Here is a video from their website (yes, I just watched a bunch of these videos on youtube to try to re-live the show) to give you SOMEWHAT of an idea. Trust me though, the video hardly does it justice. The best part about these shows is that there is something going on in about every quadrant of the stage and it’s so frustrating watching a video of it because the camera can only capture one angle at a time. I really really encourage you all to go see it. Skip out on Starbucks for a month (Steve would never agree to this) and save those pennies! It’s worth it. I promise.
A little advice: never sit floor level at a Cirque Du Soleil show. There is too much to see and too much to be missed when level with the stage. We sat in the first row of the mezzanine and it was the perfect view!
SO! Have you ever seen a Cirque show? What’s your favorite????
AAAAANNNNDDDDD of course there are instagram photos to go along with this post!
This is Steves “hurry and take the picture” face.
p.s.
Did you guys know I wear glasses now?
Kremena - Hey, I am Cirque du Soleil lover, too! In 2009 I was traveling the world and managed to see three of their shows Quidam (London), Alegria (Dubai), and KA (Las Vegas)….so far I loved the first one the best, even thought I fell in love with Alegria first on the internet…maybe I was super excited it was the first one, or maybe it was just that great!
))) Anyway, I love them all and just like you I dreamed of having anything to do with those guys some day! In fact, this weekend I am going to see Saltimbanco, here in Sofia, where they are coming for the first time, and I am super excited about it!

))) The only advantage of them is the clown gets to pick you for the interactive jokes

I agree with the advice on seating, seats on the side, and a little up are so much better than pricy seats upfornt
Can’t wait for Saturday!
