A theatrical, circus, acrobatic event.

This was my first time seeing a 'Cirque' show and I was not disappointed. Simply- the theatricality of this in incredibly high. From the exaggerated make-up to the fantastical lighting to the constant movement, Cirque du Soleil has found the way to reach an audience in today's short-attention-span world. Individually, some of the acts were a little boring (roller-skating on a big drum for instance), but as a package, this show definitely entertains.
