I liked "O" better than La Nouba. If I were to rank them......

1. "O"
2. La Nouba
3. Mystere
4. Zarkana
5. KA
6. Love
7. Zumanity
8. MJ One
9. Elvis (no longer there)
10.Believe (worse one by far)

I saw Allegria, one of their traveling shows and it was excellent. I'd rank it 7 out of all the ones I've seen. The permanent shows are usually better than the traveling ones.

We heard that Believe was the worst too. Criss Angel enough said.

Love, love, love La Nouba and Cirque Du Soleil in general. Definitely a must see for me. I love the acrobatics, characters (love the Les Cons characters), artistry, and especially the music. It also just has an over all feel good feeling with it. The aerial ballet in silks is one of the most beautiful and moving things I've ever seen.

I am however not a huge fan of the recent changes they made to it. They replaced the duo German wheels in the opening with jump ropes and balancing on chairs with juggling. They're both good, but the original acts were better. I'd like to see them drop jump ropes but keep juggling and bring back both chairs and German wheels.

Here's my ranking of the Cirque shows I've seen:

1. Mystere
2. O
3. La Nouba
4. Alegria
5. Quidam
6. LOVE
7. Ka
8. Dralion

We went and it is something I would recommend! We all enjoyed the show. We are among those that doesn't have access to Cirque shows very often. We recently saw Quidam and liked La Nouba better.

my wife & I have seen La Nouba on numerous occassions and Blue Man Group once. i enjoyed BMG for more of the rock concert type feel of the show but the first time we saw La Nouba we were mesmerised by the skill, artistery and production. The live music is fantastic and the standing ovation it received then and every other performance we have seen was greatly deserved.
So, in a nutshell, I would recommend La Nouba wholeheartedly :)

I worked in the La Nouba box office from 2003-2004 when I did the Disney College Program. I saw Allegria on TV before and I was 'meh' about it. I got to see La Nouba the 1st night I worked in the box office and my jaw hit the floor from the 1st moment 'til the curtain call. I immediately fell in love with the show and everything Cirque. It's a "must see" for me because I know some of the performers & box office castmembers personally.

I also got a Cirque tattoo a few years ago and my bucket list is to see every Cirque show. Here's my rankings of the shows I've seen so far:

1 - La Nouba
2 - Allegria
3 - Ovo
4 - Dralion
5 - Quidam

I also saw BMG at Uni a few years ago - it was entertaining - but only a 1x thing for me (unless they change their show)

We have already reserved a couple of seats for our Sept trip. My wife and I do take in the show every time we are at Disney. We are entertained enough that it's worth the money for us to spend. My son, however isnt a Cirque fan at all. When he is with us he plans a Disney Quest day.
We never tire of seeing La Nouba but it would be nice if they were to bring another version of Cirque to Orlando, friends of ours have seen the Beatles version in Vegas and raved about it.

Absolutely love La Nouba and have seen it about 9 times now and still love it. For me it has everything, the music, the artistry and a feel like no other show I've ever seen (including other cirque performances). I even took Mrs M to it the night we got engaged and after being married we have visited it many times and still love it. Last year we managed to score front row tickets for the first time and had a great time with a completely different feel to it. We were on the right hand side right next to one of the stage lifts and it was really fun how some of the performers nodded or winked etc to us when coming on the stage or leaving via the lifts. We'd never really noticed them doing this before (it was very subtle) but it made it feel extra special for us and quite memorable.

We also saw the BMG last year (for the first time) and were a little disappointed after hearing it bigged up on here when I enquired about it previously. This isn't a 'Disney is better than Universal' attitude at all but an honest opinion, we love Universal and were really looking forward to seeing the BMG. We went with some friends who loved it so obviously it's all about personal taste. We didn't hate it but just found it a bit 'boring' in spells. At times it was watching them just banging instruments quickly which was neither musically entertaining or amusing and went on too long. At other times they were doing different facial expressions and pausing for long spells for reactions and it almost felt ackward, maybe it was just beyond me? I must admit having the person from the audience on stage eating was funny in spells but also was a bit flat at times too.

If you have never seen La Nouba, yes, its a must see.

If you have seen it before, its up to the person.


Jimmy Thick- Hands down.
