ZUMANITY

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

CIRQUE AND TITS AND ASS AND GREAT ATHLETIC CHOREOGRAPHY.

This at New York New York twice a night on the strip in Las Vegas.

This among the half dozen or so Cirque shows in Las Vegas and thought to be the least attractive of the group....NOT TRUE...this is as good as the rest and for all the same reasons...artistic creativity...production...great timing and great athletic ability...live music...and a wonderful hard to find theatre built for the show...mammoth undertaking with dance, script, writing and horns and whistles. This is something you will not see anywhere and that in itself is a beautiful thing.

We got the number one criteria...it started on time and with all cirque shows there is pregame which is always worth laughs as the cast plays grab ass with the audience.
We questioned whether or not some of "audience" were plants or not and this always a sticky edge as to how well audience members will play...worked good on Monday night.
Lots of sex here with simulations...bare breasts...a fake penis...fake pubic hair...body suits and various other gay, lesbian and even straight insinuations.
Who doesn't like sex...I can almost remember.

The production might have been a tad dark...I am thinking of Spamalot which was brilliantly lit...the seats a tad tight and balcony seating might be a great place to try this show the second time around. This is the second time around for me on Zumanity and it certainly is good for another run....I remember some of what I saw before and certainly some of this is changing in their rotating updated production.

Many aerials with solos and singles perfectly executed...aerials with no nets !
The orchestra...if four pieces are orchestra...on a floating vetical overhead stage worked well with the creative music really working well...it wasn't Tchiakovsky but it wasn't bad.

My partner mentioned many of the sets included multi acts and background which fit into the too much going on category and we might of missed something...TRUE !
