I haven't seen La Nouba, but the other Cirque shows I've seen, Dralion, Quidam, Saltimbanco, Nouvelle Experience (all on video) have been excellent.

bman's right. i asked the guy who sold it to me about it (before he sold it to me, of course) what it was like, and he said that 80% of the show is on the tape, which i would say is about right. the rest is the creators and such of the show talking about it, which really is quite interesting! i say it's well worth the buy! i bought the tape and the souvenior book to remember my first live Cirque show! because i'm a major penny-pincher, i didn't buy the soundtrack, but i'm going to pick that up when i go back...it's definately one of my fave Cirque soundtracks!!
oh, that's awesome! to everyone seeing Varekai in the near future, have a great time!!:wave:
sig - i'm sure the VIP seats will DEFINATELY be worth it!
omg, there's no doubt that La Nouba is better than Dralion! you're certainly right about that! i'm not sure what it is about Dralion that i don't like...i think it lacked an element of randomness that the others have. sort of like Dralion had a certain theme and they felt like they had to stick with it throughout, which i can completely understand...but personally, i love it when Cirque shows have something in them that have nothing to do, really, with the show....such as the toy train chugging across the floor in La Nouba...it's there and you see it, and even though you might not understand why it's there, it some how works...i love that! another thing is that Dralion just seemed kind of fake from what i saw on Bravo. i mean, you could TELL that the wire was actually helping some of the performers instead of being safety back up. that another thing i love about the other Cirques...thank God they have those safety harnesses and nets, but you can tell that they're obviously doing every bit of the 'act' themselves! there's no wire lifting them up when they jump, and then slowly lowering them to safety! at least from what i've seen, that is. now there could be a reason that Dralion is like this, and i just don't know about it...i dunno! but still, Dralion is definately one of my least faves!

There are so many things going on at once in some of the shows that It’s impossible to keep track of.

What does "La Nouba" mean?

Well, I guess this answers the question of has anyone gone. I guess I'm missing out. So when will it be part of the admission price like DQ?

On a side note about Dralion...did anyone notice that the show was done particularly for those in dinner packages and center stage? My family sat on the side of the theater and the show seemed very bland. A lot of the time we didn't see how spectacular the act was. I know that La Nouba is nothing like that, and every seat has an excellent view
. But I'm hoping that the new show Varekai will be better and more 'well rounded' .

Ha, ha… Umm, that was a joke, right?Just in case it wasn’t, I’m going to go out on a limb and say “never”.
Since then, I’ve traveled to various places specifically to see their shows.

FWIW, we saw Dralion down front and center with VIP tickets and it still was not very spectacular. I don't think you missed much. As for Varekai, we also have VIP tickets for when they come to Philadelphia and I really hope it's a lot better than Dralion was (though my In-Laws _loved_ Dralion....)

In what language does "La Nouba" mean "party?"

The first time we saw La Nouba, we got the tickets are part of the Grand Plan. I think you can get La Nouba tickets as part of some other plans too, but I'm not so familiar with them.

La Nouba is great if you like balancing acts, the flying trapeze, trampoline, high wire walkers, jugglers, BMX bike stunts and various other acrobatic choreography. Personally, I didn't care for the show or the music very much. I prefer to see this type of activity in a competitive arena rather than a "party" atmosphere. For example, I really enjoy watching competitive ice skating. However I really dislike seeing these same great athletes in the Ice Capades or Disney On Ice. So IMHO if you liked the 1977 Ice Capades with Dorothy Hamill, then you will love La Nouba.
