Mystere

Ballerfest was this past weekend (and it rocked, of course) and I had the great idea that we should go see Mystere, one of the Cirque de Soleil shows at Treasure Island. Let me tell you, this was hands down one of the worst ideas I've every had. If I had paid full price for that ticket, I would've burned TI down. I wanted to shoot myself repeatedly in the face. It was completely awful. The costumes were creepy, the whole show didn't make any sense at all, there was a grown ass man in a big ass baby costume, and if the clown had come near me he would have gotten shanked. I spent the show alternately sleeping, checking my e-mail, researching Mystere on the interweb to see how long it lasted, and bitching loudly. My fondest wish would've been fulfilled if I had gotten kicked out of the theater. The worst moment probably came when the lame ass clown was performing (and people kept laughing despite the fact that he was incredibly wack) and interacting with the audience, and I realized that I was being denied an intermission. I'd been waiting for the chance to leave the theater for five minutes. DENIED!! I died a little on the inside. The show only had two positive points: The music was awesome to sleep to and the acrobatics were kickass. In conclusion, I beg you all to save your money and never see a Cirque de Soleil show. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
