Varekai is good but..
there is something missing in this show. We went to see this Cirque du Soleil presentation in Brisbane on Friday night. It was my first visit to this famed show, and my expectations were high. However, the overall feeling was of disappointment.
Sure, the Varekai show has its moments, everything that you would expect in a circus presentation, but that was the problem. I just couldn't help thinking that in the end, this was basically a very clever circus show with a great set and a great costume designer. I kept waiting for the 'Wow' moment, which never came. It had several good moments, several ohhh moments, but no moment that would have defined the show for me.
Maybe I am just complaining because having paid an arm and leg to go to the show, I expected magic.
