I'm just back from Cirque du Soleil's newest show here in Brazil, Corteo. I bought hte tickets where more or less a month before, I insisted very hard and got even premiun places (the price between premiun and standart were ridiculous, you could purelly get premiun when you were planning on standarts)
I havent seen much shows, the only one I saw besides Corteo was Alegría and some DVDs from La Nouba and even a documentary about Ka, mostly, bits and pieces from both, Alegria was a live show, more than half a decade ago. But corteo was STUNNING! everything was beautifull, the music, the acting, make up, costume, decoration...OMG the decoration
