Cirque du Soleil is always excellent. However, this show was certainly good, but not the best they've done. It was a jazz festival...and as a jazz festival...it was probably quite a treat. The other Cirque du Soleil shows seem to be their own little world. This went out into the world and threw in just about everything...even the kitchen sink. It seemed a bit less cohesive (to me) from that point of view. I bought it because I love Cirque du Soleil...and I will certainly keep it. This just isn't my favorite Cirque du Soleil show...
If you are a "Cirque" fan you'll like the DVD. Because it is a single event, outdoor performance it is not as "tight" or dramatic as the videos of their other performances. It is a little unique because more of the performance is focused on the music and it is less "acrobatic." The costumes are much simpler. Make no mistake, this is still "Cirque," just a kinder, gentler version.
I got this movie because it was the first CDS show I'd ever seen. I get it more for the memory then for the show itself. The beginning is kinda lame but it gets better as it goes. The finally is the absolute best. It still has some of the best ribbon and fire acts I've ever seen from CDS. It focuses on the singers more than anything else however their are great acrobats just like in any cirque du soleil show. Still much better show then Delirium.
If it's a live, interprative Jazz concert you want, this is it. If you're looking for Cirque du Soleil - move on. This won't even begin to whet your appetite. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" has more stunts and entertainment value. VERY disappointing for the hardcore Cirque fan. The emphasis here is the music from a few of the Soleil shows - 'outside' stuff at that. I fast-forwarded through most of it.
This DVD was awesome! I got it for my dad for Christmas. He loves it! He said, he's watched it twice now. He just loves these kind of shows. Now, he has me hooked too. Thank you! Keep the shows coming.
