Just a quick update-- saw this show last night, it was *awful* on a level of awful I've never seen. Not sure if they were having technical issues or what, but it was quite boring. Pretty costumes, but lack of coherent storyline. The music that was on repeat after the show was wrapping up/ended was the worst Avatar-chanting sound... noise, I can't even put a good word to it- was nonstop and annoying- people around us were complaining and we made our own lyrics... involving how badly a bunch of us needed to pee.
Hint for anyone going to the show: Set break was only 30 minutes, so the second the break starts, RUN to the bathrooms. Don't make my mistake!
Overall, would not recommend this show. I hope others enjoyed it... but my group and the folks around us certainly did not.
Someone puked something blue in the parking lot, and it quickly became the most interesting item of the night.
ETA- one of Pittsburgh's local papers wasn't very excited, either. Nor the commenter. http://www.pghcitypaper.com/Blogh/archives/2016/06/23/cirque-du-soleils-toruk-debuts-in-pittsburgh
